I havent really looked into getting an aftermarket front bumper, but.... things change. One of the few things i have not looked at for my car is front/rear bumpers... only thought of getting a front lip.... well.... if i were to stick to the statement i made when i got the car ("i will shoot myself if i put a scratch on this car") i wouldnt be making this post is all i can say. I took two small chips outa the edge of the front bumper and put about 6 inches of scratches on her. It could probably be "fixed" to look ALMOST perfect.... but this car is too beautiful to be ALMOST perfect.


My question is, what bumpers would you suggest for a g35c without a body kit? I don't like the greddy style on an N/A car... so what im looking for is something that will look good... but not stand out TOO much.... and i especially dont need a huge whole for an I/C that i dont have on my car. Attached pics or links to sites would be nice, but if you like a particular option and are feeling lazy just say it and i'll search on my own. I dont want anything to ostentatious remember but im open to any suggestion.

also if you could include the cost that would be nice. Any how much will it be to get this painted (black)?

 

I feel the same. I ahve so many scratches and dents on my front bumper and not to mention a crack on my oem lip that I no longer give a crap. Lol. I'm going to replace the bumper anyways so i'm just letting it be. I've been looking around for bumper and i'm really looking to find one that has a integrated grill (like kenstyle and top secret). So far i fell in love with the top secret but I would have to have a intercooler for it to look right. I have seen a car with the TS front without an intercooler though and honestly, it looks pretty good still! If you're not into that then I would just suggest a nismo front bumper.. I believe everything else is just a lip add on right? There's also the Impul but the front is not that great..

Edit** I found the pic..

 

anyone have else have an entire front bumper (not just lip)?

HA... i know you already mentioned Nismo, but I couldn't resist posting a different bumper picture using a CB with J8's in gunmetal.

 

nismo is nice..but it looks too much like stock

 

+1.....

 

what are ALL the FULL front bumper (not just lip) options out there besides stock? HOw much does a stock one cost? I'm guessing it comes painted from the factory right?

shows u all

 

hmmmm i know its cheap... or at least inexpensive, but is there anyone with experience with the "Type N" front bumper (nismo replica). That is the full bumper and its one piece right... (that lip is connected to the bumper it looks like)? IT would be like 600 with shipping from that site plus another 200-300 for paint im guessing (right?). Will i have fitment issues? Its fiber glass so im guessing if i bump into ANYTHING it will break... but what would the down side be to getting this replica (assuming its the full front bumper)

i really like that bumper on that Z. What is it? Are there any pics of a black g with the veilside (looks kinda like that). I think that bumper in that pic looks pretty mean and its something different

 

downside? you have 50/50 chance of getting owned on fitment.

 

im guessing if the fitment isnt right though i could send it back to a respectable company at THEIR cost and get a new one free right? if i had to pay to ship 3 ways (to my home, back to them, to my home again) i could just buy the nismo

 

Um supposedly yes. Does it always work out that way? Of course not. And not to mention, if you attempt to do ANY kind of body work on it prior to shipping it back, i'm sure they wont accept it. I know a friend that got a replica part and it would not fit at all! He tried to return it but failed. So if you do go that route, I would make sure about this as much as u can..

 

well i would just make sure to pay with American Express if i bought one so that i could stop payment to them if i needed to i guess....
