hey guys, just wondering if you think a NA G can wear a top secret front bumper since we dont have fat intercoolers to show off. i got in a small accident recently and im hunting for a new bumper ;p





first 2 pics are from i-m-racing and the last one is G352NV's car and his wife

 

The whole point of the big open mouth is for an FM IC... but imo, it could still look fine with out one. What I would do is buy some black paint, and paint the radiator and everything in the grill black, so when the bumper is on, it'll look alot cleaner. DONT put any of that cheap chicken wire mesh garbage.

 

i think if u have blackened mesh (with small holes) and u secure your license plate on the bumper, it'll looks prety good..

 

i believe there is a member w/ a black coupe that has the TS w/ no intercooler.. not sure tho.. he started a thread on it

 

If you paint the mesh.. it'll last a couple months, and start to have rock chips, and look horrible. Its best to just paint the inside radiotor and parts black. I've done this on other cars before, and it looks alot cleaner imo. Mesh cheapens the look.

 

Dude the third one could of been stock or whatever and that picture would still look great! Thanks G352NV, you luck guy.

 

bump.. cmon people use your right to vote!!

i guess having no fmic is a good reason to stick on a front plate. at least i wouldent need to worry about any more front plate tickets

 

i guess you could do it.. i've just gotten so used to seeing the TS w/ IC's in them.

 

I think mine looks a little funny without an IC but I'll get one someday... its not that bad tho... definately like it better than stock with a chin spoiler..

 

It shouldn't look too bad right...? I was also wondering... Are most of the guys just purchasing the front for now and getting the rest later...

 

I think it looks good either way.

Performance-wise, the larger opening will still imrove your radiator performance. I don't think I need to explain how much better the car will perform at cooler temps The stock bumper is ok for the daily grind but kinda restrictive for the track.

 

Bad paint match ^^^^^

 

really? I think its the picture or something because in person its a really close match. The guy who did that, did alot of the florida g35 club's cars...

...rest of the kit is ugly imo....

 

I say go for it. You can always go FI eventually. That would be my plan, since I don't have the funds to drop a lot of mods all at one time.

 

hey can u show me some more pics? maybe like a 3/4 shot or just more shots instead of dead on in the front?
