Help me pick a bumper!!

Hey guys im torn on which bumper I should get Kuruma Z or Nismo..

I have a black 04 coupe and they both look nice, but I know two people with kuruma's on black g's so I figured i'd go with something different like Nismo.

I cant seem to come to a decision!! What made you choose nismo or kuruma if you have one?

these are very different bumpers. i think the kurumaZ wins hands-down based on looks, however, its a b!tch to drive around on. the nismo is a more practical choice since it sits pretty close to stock height. it also is not as much of a radical change in appearance as the kurumaz.

if you want the attention grabber and don't mind angling into/over changes in incline, get the kurumaz.

^ the tunnel is cool, but its pretty freaky walking around up top. its almost impossible to imagine just how big the 93 freeway was until you see how much open space there is now. its like a new downtown

imo, Nismo...

I don't like the look of bumpers with open lower centers with no FMIC (i'm making the assumption that you don't have one)

No I don't have an IC and thats what I was thinking is that I shouldn't get that bumper because I don't have a FMIC.

If you're running an FMIC, then KurumaZ. If not, bumpers with huge center openings look stupid. Nismo looks amazing, anyways.
