That's one butchered sentence man. It goes a long way to type clearly and distinctly so I can piece together what you are saying.

But I'm going to give it a shot.

If you want a front aftermarket bumper that lines up nicely with your factory sides, I would look into a Nismo front bumper. It sits around the same height as the OEM one. You can find vendors in the market place section that sell the Nismo front in poly or fiberglass.

yeah sorry about the sentence, I was in a huge hurry going into work and needed some answers by tonight. I already know about the nismo, are there any other choices out there in addition? sorry I just feel like the nismo is pretty overplayed although they do look good

Nismo would be your best bet. The others sit lower then usual and you'd need some sides to pull off the look.

Although, I have seen some people on this forum pull off a KZ with OEM sport sides before, and I thought that flowed nicely. But those cars were dumped.

I like the inven bumper, it was between that and the Kuruma and I just got the Kuruma instead because they offer it in poly... while the inven is only in fiberglass.

Personally, I think the inven looks best WITH sides. I don't think it flows well at all with OEM sides, but it might be okay with the 06-07 sport sides.

Regardless, if you pick up an inven, I would say that you should pick up sides as well.

gotcha! again thanks for the help. Should I buy fiberglass or poly? I mean obviously the poly is sturdier but is it that big of a difference to constitute the price difference?

Its the opposite actually.

Fiberglass is more sturdy then poly, but fiberglass is easy to damage and break. Poly is more durable then fiberglass, but it feels flimsy. You can get away with not mounting all the bolts for fiberglass bumpers because they are thicker, but with poly, it would be a good idea to have all the mounting points installed since it feels kind of soft and flimsy.
