have an 05 coupe with 31K miles and lots of stone chips on front. was thinking of either refinishing 05 front/lip or going with the 06 Sport bumper for cleaner look. car is lowered on RS*R Ti2000 springs for 350Z and runs 19x9.5 +19, 19x10.5 +19 Ro_Ja R2-5.

what do you think and I assume 06 fits just like the 05 would?

thanks for your opinions.

 

I have the 06+ sport bumper with the +ings 1 front lip.
Running ro_ja r2-7's +20/+12 offsets lowered on 350z springs.

06 sport with ings lip is sexy.
and yes the bumpers all line up regardless of year.

 

Go for the 06 sport i love mine... i have an 05 coupe btw

 

how low is the 06+ sport compared to the 03-05 w/OEM lip?

like the clean look of the 06+, but am concerned it is not low enough to match up with aftermarket sides in case I decide to go that direction.

03-05 w/OEM appears to be lower from all that I have seen, but I am not 100% sure. can anyone confirm?

thanks.

 

the 06+ is a cleaner look, but from all the pics I have searched it looks higher compared to 05 front w/OEM lip.

can anyone confirm this? thanks.

 

I am dragging this question back up since I never got an answer and it is time to do the front of my car.

is the 03-05 front with OEM lip spoiler lower than the 06-07 sport bumper?

I like the look of the 06-7 as it is much cleaner, but worried it is not low enough.

thanks for the help.

 

its not much lower

here is the 06 sport bumper with Impul sides

OEM front lip with Impul sides

 

thank you sir...exactly what I was looking for.

 

no problem here are a few more

 

Sport bumper if you can. Otherwise, a lip is ok too.

 

IMO if you run the sport bumper, you should stay with OEM sides. based on those pics it does not line up well with those Impul sides.

it is the opposite look of running a Kuruma front with OEM sides...just does not match up.

I am leaning towards just having my OEM 05 front w/lip re-finished. the sport bumper looks cleaner, but it needs to be just a bit lower

thanks for all the pics. you have helped very much.

 

No problem, glad i could help

 

sport bumper with a chargespeed front lip

+1 this looks the best
