Default Decisions decisions...

My front bumper is severely damaged because I hit a piece of tire that got flung onto my lane on the freeway.

Now I am at a delimma as to which front bumper I should get. My 2 options are:

A new Fujimura front bumper which is what I have on right now or get the Weber Sport Front bumper.

The Weber Sport bumper looks great in some pictures (depending on the setup) but terrible in others.

What do you guys think of the Weber Sport bumper? Or are there any front bumpers that would go well with my setup which is Amuse rear with the Aerojacket duckbill spoiler.

Quick reference:

Weber front bumper will look terrible. it's got much sharper edges than the rest of your car

You think so? The Amuse rear have a lot of straight lines and such, if i do get the Webersports kit i will get it without the duct fins like this Z right here.



I think it will work with the Amuse rear

Dude...i feel your pain. My 6 months old Nismo front bumper was also hit by a piece of truck tire flung up during highway driving one night. Damage was only to the clear coat though but non fixable unless I repaint the entire bumper!

My sentiment is same as others. Stick to fujimura if you’re staying with stock side skirts.

I am in the same boat. I need a new front and rear bumper guard for my 2009 touring and just cannot decide which way to go. I am thinking I like the Nismo bumpers. Anyone tried that?

I don't think so. You could be the first.

Where you at with this? Any development? You will need the entire Weber kit to execute properly. Weber front plus Amuse rear plus stock skirt = Frankie. You don't want Frankie.
