Default Full Nismo kit...kinda bumbed about it..want something that stands out more

Just got the Nismo full kit put on my car...Full Jdm bumber not just the lip...Now i like the look of it dont get me wrong but i want something that stands out a little more...I have SB so its kinda hard to tell that i even have a aftermarket front bumber...You can tell on the sides and rear just not the front that much..I really like the Inital D front bumber...I know its a replica but man it still looks nice...Here the question and i just want little feedback on how u think the Inital D front bumber will look with my nismo sides and rear???

cant answer the question about the inital d bumper but if you have a legit real nismo jdm front and you sell it then sling it my way.

The Ings or Initial D front bumper will not line up right with the Nismo sides and rears, Initial D sits alot lower. IMO, the Nismo kit is very subtle. People that knows little about the Z will think the kit came on the Z off the showroom. The only thing I regret about buying this kit is that the front opening could be a little larger to compliment the Greddy intercooler.

i'll take some pics....but i see what your saying about may look lower also i dont think it will look right aligned with the nismo sides...The intial D front bumber has straight edges where the nismo sides are kinda rounded...what other bumber do u think that will go with the nismo sides....has to be full bumber not a lip...

Switching the Nismo bumper out also came across my mind a few times. These are the only bumpers that I think would look good and flow with the rest of the Nismo kit: Top secret, Tommy Kiara or Amuse. I really wanted the long nose type-E front bumper, but is difficult to get. I'm leaning towards the Tommy Kiara bumper.

Sorry...You know we're all not as fortunate as you... Big turbo guy..J/p Im just hating cause i want TT for my Z....I can see how its hard for you... But for me i just thought that the nismo kit would have standed out more...Its nice dont get me wrong....But i think you right that their's probably not a front bumber out there that will match the nismo sides and rear.. I might switch the whole kit after i get some volks in a couple of months...But if any or u guys think a different bumber would work let me know...just looking for different options..

I don't think he meant it as a racist shot. You never mentioned your ethnicity... how would he even know you are Mexican?
