Aftermarket front bumper on stock body...

So I might be looking at aftermarket front bumpers instead of just repainting my stock bumper...

Who has just an aftermarket bumper with the stock everything else body wise....does it look good?

Who makes front bumpers for our cars...im looking for something not too flashy, the nismo bumper (i think) looks pretty nice...

post away and post pix if you can, thanks

i really really like the stock look of the G35. i feel like they did an unbelieveable job. Just the way it is, with maybe just a few minor adjustments, nothing to crazy.

anyone have a pic of the nismo front on a G side by side next to a G with sports stock bumper??

I wanna see the difference but cant seem to be able to tell the difference...

also would it look fine without aftermarket side skirts/aftermarket rear?

bro... i have the nismo front (bought it from eric... and i must say it's superb quality and amazing fitment) with stock sides/rear... i had a lot of rock chips on the OEM bumper that i was going to repaint it, but i decided to just get an aftermarket instead (great decision, in hindsight)... here are a couple of pics...

I have a (replica) nismo front and it does look great even with stock sides, I have the splash guards on my car and it actually looks like the OEM splash guards are ever so slightly lower (1/2"?) than the nismo... not noticeable unless you're measuring, it looks great as-is.
I say go for it, worst case scenario you'd have to buy skirts to go with it.

lol, need to do so... I have no grille or underbody tray at the moment, so it will look better when I get those on.

I really like the look of the IP coupes with the CF inserts on the vents on the Nismo... I've only seen one, but I liked it.

bumper+shipping+painting+install= about $800... i think it turned out much better than just repainting the stock bumper (plus, since i was going to be installing springs i wanted to keep a clean look but a bit more aggressive than oem)... i hope the info helps...
