Default Vertex Front Bumper w/ Greddy Sides (Pics)

Well after cracking my Greddy front lip in 3 pieces from tapping a curb, I decided to go with the Vertex front bumper! Speed Alliance had a damaged bumper which i purchased for cheap. They're next shippment was going to be mid to late October. Couldn't wait that long! Here are some pics I took today after picking up the car. Paint match is a little off but will go back next week to get repainted. Only thing missing is a fmic!

I really love the Vertex kit as a whole, but those greddy sides really compliment it well.

Thanks guys! Now I need recommendations for the rear. Looking to get a full bumper. Don't really like the Vertex rear cuz it hides the exhaust.

What a Great Match. I would never have considered it. Lines look very clean. My wife even saw it over my shoulder and complimented it (and she doesn't like body kits!). Good luck on the rear, sorry I've no suggestions.

Very nice!

As far as the rear, it's going to be really hard to find a full bumper that showcases your exhaust since, as you mentioned, most of them cover up the exhaust. The Do-Luck does look nice but I think the lines are different from the skirts & front bumper you have (has a fairly prominent sharp edge/lip towards the bottom). What I have seen that was pretty nice was a molded fin like the Nismo like the one pictured here: http://clearcorners.com/products/nis...featcarI05.jpg . I'm sure you can do this to others as well & it'll probably be cheaper. Just another alternative if you can't find a full rear bumper.

Bubble, it's the Vertical Door kit. GTNPU Z, thats a great suggestion. I've searched and searched for rear bumpers but really cant find one that flows with my setup. I'll probably go that route or maybe even mold the rear mud guards. I honestly think the rear look fine stock, but needs a little bit of flare.

That's a great looking combination...always admired the Vertex front bumper cover on a Z.

Why not just leave the rear as is for a while?
