nismo & top secret bumper question

my car is NOT lowered and i have 19's on 245/35/19. i want to change my front bumper but don't want one that hangs so low that it will scrape on the driveways. are the nismo or TS bumper lower than the stock bumper and is it low enough to scrape? thanks.

^+1 i would also like to know how low the nismo bumper hangs but am not too worried about scraping because it is now a daily occurance.

If you're not going to lower it, then I'd go with Nismo. The TS is lower than stock and too aggressive for stock height/skirts.

TS is higher than KS. KS sides is very low esp behind the front wheel.

I had TS.. hangs VERY low but has a sexy lip... I used greddy sideksirts to match it and it looked hawt! Don't go with anything under 19" rim otherwise your TS bumper will scrape anything.

just spoke with a guy that sells replica TS and Nismo bumpers.....

he said the Nismo is about 1 1/2" lower than stock & the TS is about 2" lower than stock.

i know the Kenstyle replica scrapes a lot... i'm leaning towards the TS if it's higher than the Kenstyle.

if you arent going to lower your car, jt leave your car stock. cars with body kits and rims at stock height look lame. why are you affraid to lower your car?
