questions about the front bumper

so i'm trying to decide what kind of front bumper to go for:
Kuruma Z or Nismo or Stock OEM or something I haven't thought of yet?

If anyone has comments and/or pictures, please post them.

I have a few questions about the Kuruma Z bumper tho. It does not appear to have the tow hook hole that the stock OEM bumper has. How does it get towed?

And for the Nismo bumper, I've seen some with and others without the towhook hole. Any comments?

TIA guys!
*edit: While I'm here, does anyone have any Front Bumper they'd like to sell me? I'm in SoCal*

sorry about the pm probably not making sense i no longer have the 03 bumper for sale but i do have a nismo urethane bumper for sale right no thats what i though you were asking about sorry, its brand new and fitment is great and yes you could easily shave the toe hook square for a much cleaner look

the front air dam in the center of the kuruma allows access to the tow hook adapter.

i doubt you will ever use the tow hook. if you get towed it will most likely have to be by flatbed. i dunno what the tow hook is for anyway.

there are tons of threads with pics. check out the gallery. just get what you think looks best on your car. the kuruma is the most aggressive out of all your choices it looks better with wheels/bodykit. the nismo is a more aggressive version of the oem bumper. i believe it sits lower than the kuruma. my kuruma matches up with the stock splash guards.

+1. I've only had my nismo for 3 weeks now and I thought it was lower than it really was, but i'm still able to clear those parking space blocks like I did with my stock bumper. I really gotta be more careful though, i've already scraped the bottom of the bumper.

solely on looks, do you regret not going kuruma?
