Aftermarket Bumper - Yes or No?

blinkme323 · 06-17-2010, 11:02 AM

Hey guys, I've been contemplating getting an aftermarket front bumper lately to pair with my s-tune skirts. My question is, how do you guys feel about aftermarket bumpers for the Z? Are they frowned upon? If not, which would you guys recommend?

Thanks

as long as it doesnt look like a$$ we dont care and we encourage you to get what you want. try posting pics of what you want and we can give you a barometer on if it will be frowned upon.

Heads up my friend, make sure whatever bumper you get is what you want don't settle.make sure the body shop test fit it before paint and install. Becareful of certain companies materials some may be cheap. When I got my z I swore not to do anything aftermarket...now its addicting

I was strongly considering the stillen or maybe the nismo (cost permitting).

I know this is off topic, but does anyone know how the N-Spec Nismo rear bumper would look with stillen exhaust? Would there be any fitment problems?

The amuse body kit... or front bumper is pretty sweet. Its really expensive though.

If you already have sides you should pickup something for the front to balance out the car visually.

I actually prefer the look of the stock front bumper, but there are certainly some nice aftermarket ones out there as well. The Nismo front would be a pretty cool project.
