Front bumper choice...

Been rocking the stock sport bumper with a lip for a while now and never liked the fact the intercooler is 90% blocked.

I have flat bottom Impul sides and the lip matches the lines pretty well.

I do like the Kuruma bumper from the front, but to me doesn’t doesn’t flow as well with the skirts from a side profile standpoint.

I’m torn between keeping it as is, get a Invent style (which I would have similar blockage) or a K2 bumper.

The K2 is more stockish to me with a center mouth.

Anyways let me know what you think if you would.



Thanks,

Joe

KurumaZ bumper is and has always been my first choice! To get the correct visual flow you'll need to get Impul sides! This is the route I took years ago and it still looks way cool with plenty of room for coolers and massive air flow...Gary

Glad to see your still around Gary!

I have Impul sides, just the flat bottom ones from back when Arch offered them. (The first two pics are my actual car)

Definitely want poly (no other way for me) and proper fitment like we all do.

Don't feel bad, I have a Seibon TS CF hood hanging on the wall in my garage that's been there for a few years...

I threw it on when I got it and HATED the black hood on the car. Was too F&F for me personally.

Been meaning to get it painted LP to match. Maybe Ill do that when I pull the trigger on the bumper and drop it off for some color.

I will agree, the Kuruma Z with a nice mesh behind the vents will allow for massive airflow and an aggressive yet classy look.

Nah, I think I’ve decided on a KZ. All my buddy’s say it looks the best.

Plus I just added a grille and eyelids and I think it will complement them really well.

For those that have authentic KZ’s, hows the fitment?
