Question strafe or carbodykits?

Looking to get a poly nismo front bumper for my coupe and the two main vendors here that have them are strafe and carbodykits. wanted to know what y'all thought if you have purchased body kits from either one of them. experience dealing with them and the kits and how it came out or which one you prefer. or maybe theres another vendor some of you prefer?

Also i noticed that there are different versions. EX carbodykits has a v3 nismo which says everything fits perfect 100%. i just want to get the bumper in and install it no hassle so seems like the better buy then the other two versions.

thanks for the input guys!

Both are great vendors. I've dealt with both Dustin and Eric; I couldn't choose between the two because they're both great! You should just PM them both and find out who you feel more comfortable with, who has what to offer, best prices, etc.

My suggestion is to PM both vendors and ask them for a price quote.

As an FYI some of the bumpers that they sell are exactly the same bumper (came from the same mold and they get it from the same supplier). You should inquire to see if the Nismo sold by both vendors are in fact the same.

If they are the same then I would base my decision on overall price including shipping and customer service.
