getting the same lip in carbon fiber again would be really hard...i looked and cant find it, plus the vendor i bought it from like 3-4 yrs ago i cant even remember. as for the vent, thats all for looks, no function, and yes before you guys say thats dumb or stupid...i know, but i liked the look of it and actually how it turned out....but again...this is a chance for me to change up things are maybe revamp the look...so please keep up the suggestions guys...i do lke the kuruma bumper, but i think most of the input here is right....the veil aprons are really hard to match a look with them....i think the kuruma bumper is hot, but idk with my current set up....

You should really go to the OB threads. There is every combination of bumper/sides/wheels. That is how I figured out what I wanted. I like how aggressive your car looks. Bottom line is if you like it just keep it. I really like the way the little vent looks. I like your hood and your wheels. I am curious to see your rear bumper lip thing. It looks like it went really well with your old busted lip. Search for "post your ob" and "hottest ob coupe" Those threads are the mother load of ideas and pics.

gary thanks for the input, i really dont post much up here or reads threads for that matter, but the items that i have read, that you have posted in, seem to be well thought and insightful,,,,so thank you seriously for the info. as for the winglets....i get the idea....as for the nismo bumper, very good idea, but the thought of my oem sides kinda gives me the feeling that the car will be to front "heavy" so to speak. I mean, do i keep my hood, or goo back to oem with the nismo...most g's here that i have seen with that bumper have a stock hood. And at that, if i go oem with the hood, should i go without my spoilers?!?!? im really up in the air on this man. i will say this one thing, im really starting to love the look of a ob that i saw on here, that has no spoilers, with the straft trunk, i think its "aheroenterity" something like that.....but the look of his stance and smooth lines on his g are getting to me hard...really whats making me think of changing the whole look up.

the whole entire lip kit is actually a veilside lip kit. The front and rear were just wrapped in carbon fiber, thats the difficult part of it, cant find it. thanks for the info..doin that now,,

I can remake that front lip for you in matching carbonfiber if you want to return your car to the way it looks.

Let me kno.. Aside from that maybe try the Gialla Lip

You can run anyone's hood with the Nismo bumper and since it doesn't hang down like my KurumaZ bumper I think you can get away with OE sides. I would seriously get rid of the veilside, I've seen other sides from them but those winglets were popular back in '03 when nothing else was available and they're fugly....

I agree, I never really liked the winglets on any G. The G is so smooth and sleek to have something protruding so loudly.
