Best looking bumpers for 05/06 Sedan IMO are the:

KuRookie (PM martyg35)


or Hikkata Dori Nismo (PM Dustin@StrafeAutomotive or HikkataDori)

with kurookie(even though candle ur car is sick) it will look weird without any side skirts as the bumper is way lower then stock or even nismo
so i say NISMO for sure!

You can pull off the KuRookie with OEM sides + OEM splashguards. But I agree the NisRookie sides (modified Nismo that sit lower) complete the look.

If the dent is at the very bottom of the bumper then the OEM replica front lip Ionic makes will cover it up.

I think it will not fit as dents are vertical below pass side vent opening

does any lip covers up to the vent opening?

dont mean to derail this thread but where can we get the ionic lip installed from (will any local body shop be able to install it?)

Also is there a seller selling the headlights in that picture.
I have the orange lens in my headlamps and hate it.

Thanks.

Any local body shop will be able to install the Ionic lip. You could even do it yourself with the help of a friend help you line it up properly.

The headlights pictured are custom projector retrofitted headlights with a clear lens in the turn signal. In order to get rid of the amber you'll have to dremel out the amber lens and replace it with a clear one.
