Most unique and rare bumper out there is the Sportec bumper, you won't find this anywhere. I've only seen pics of two cars with this bumper.



Every other bumper can be purchased (get a Hikkata Dori if you can't find a used Nismo front, same bumper in FG with the license plate portion filled in). Nismo rear is another rare piece to get your hands on but a ton of 03/04 Sedans have one, only 2 or 3 05/06s.

Other things you can do to set your car apart exterior wise is remove the side moldings and fill in the holes (and repaint your doors). Also you can get a molded trunk (HD, Strafe, or do a custom one). Strafe makes a vented hood for the 03/04. Also consider painting your mirror bases and window trim. Painted or emblemless grills are a nice touch. Also consider painting your headlights and doing a projector retrofit.

Kurookies look good, but I could never get over the edge of the fender line. Somehow, it makes the bumper look taller than it really is. Not to say it's ugly, but I love the Sportec in a way that only a man can love a beautiful body...





...panel.

Sportec for the easy win.

Ive become a huge fan of the gloss black window trim. (not many with painted)

Mine is driving me nuts and the blackout tape was epic fail (I pulled it off after only one day)

I'm going to have it painted soon.

^ that's odd. It's not that hard if you take your time. Mine came out good but paint is so much cleaner. I want them obsidian black not matte

^Mine came out looking OK at best... and then the sun shrank it and there were little gaps with chrome showing

Paint just looks so much better anyway.

Even matte paint would look better than the blackout tape... but I REALLY want them gloss to match the roof and my tint.

Im thinking of painting my roof next week. For the longest time I said I wouldn't but since I painted my trim black I almost feel like now it is time.

^I think that could really work with your color.

Normally, I think it's a waste of time on a dark color (like TB for example) but I'm a sucka for black and brown

^Which bumper, the Sportec one I posted? Would likely be very tough to replicate unless you had one in your hands.
