Opinions: 2006 sport bumper or add oem lip to 03 bumper????

Hey guys, I have a 03 coupe and want to make the front bumper look better. I can add the 03 oem lip or i can buy a new 06 oem sport bumper. there are about the same price. Which do you think looks better? I like the 06 but i want a lower bumper....

06 bumper. I think you forgot to add in the additional cost of getting the bumper painted though, while the OEM lip comes prepainted

No, if i keep the 03 bumper it needs to be repainted. Its all scratched up.

I have the 06 sport front but a lot of times I actually like the look of the OEM lip with the older bumper.

really personal preference but I like the 03 OEM with lip over the 06 but the Nismo over both.

I have an 03 and went through the same debate, myself. I opted for the lip.
