Is there a lip that works with this front end well? I've seen the n1 style only. Or am I better off buying an hd nismo bumper from r1 before painting sideskirts etc. Thanks

*and yes I have lowered my car since this pic haha

 

I believe stillen lip works.

 

I looked it up. It does. Thank you. It's a little too much with the stock bumper though and cost more than an hd nismo bumper. The more I'm thinking the more I'm leaning towards a new front bumper

 

If it were me I'd probably go with a new bumper.

 

buy from r1

 

Thanks for the feedback. Once I check with my paint guy on cost I'm sure ill be going that route

 

I don't think a lip can save the looks of the 03-04 front bumper. I just got a poly Nismo replica (like the Nismo but with the license plate deleted) from Stephen at R1 Autoworks. I'm very happy with the bumper, the price, the speed of part delivery. Plus I'm lucky enough to be local to him so he painted and installed it too. Looks great!

He can get all of the other available bumpers too, and I seriously considered the Karookie, but it's only available in fiber glass and it was important to me to go with polyurethane because its more durable and the fit was great. Stephen didn't have to massage it much at all, just cut the holes for the turn signals, I think.

Good luck with whatever you end up going with.

 

Imo unless black, the bumper looks bad on every other color...black sedans with the orignal bumper+lip can pull it off

 

Thanks guys. In my opinion the new bumper is the way to go... With my budget and the fact I have a 5 month old ill probably work with what I've got. I'm thinking just use the license plate delete and paint all the black trim. I won't be able to do this car totally like I want, but it'll look clean. I think I may go without the lip

 

If you drop it, it can work though...there was a picture of a dropped IP with the n1 lip from the sedan gtg in SDGenius's thread I believe

 

 

Ha. I went back for 10 min looking and found it. Come back and you posted it. It's cool. It may look better no lip painted. Thanks for your help. Ill get more quotes tomorrow. I was quoted 400 today which seems ok but maybe a little pricey

 

So I bought n1 style lip, trunk lip, license plate delete and will have it installed and painted by the 1st. Ill post pics of the final product. Thanks for all the input
