so some douchebag ran a red light today and i hit them, i need a new front bumper, grille and front lip, question though...the aftermarket front bumpers, do they hang lower than the stock w/ lip? i dont want my front looking like the rest of the kit is missing, but i dont want a whole kit on it....any help and suggestions are appreciated. thanks.

 

yes, most will hand lower.

your best option is to go with the nismo front.

yea nismo front with stock sides and rear still looks OEM

 

nismo for sure

 

+1000 Nismo front

 

now, heres my prob...im thinkin bout going with the nismo, but has anyone ever had issues with insurance? Im friends with the bodyshop guy and also with my insurance guy...but i know sometimes they can be dicks. Im filing a complaint against the guy and taking him to court anyways. right now i just have OEM bumper with the front lip, what does a nismo bumper go for?

 

^^^ Klumzyees replica Nismo is $500

i was in the same boat as you and desided i didnt want to go threw all the trouble... so i just got the 06 Sport Bumper

 

how different is the 06 sports bumper compared to my 05 oem with lip spoiler?

 

sport bumper is nice too but I'd get the nismo if I ever got hit

 

search and you will find pics of each

 

from my searches, the 06 essentially looks like the 05 with a lip, but all molded?

 

for the most part yeah I guess you can say that

 

what does the authentic nismo go for approx??
