So, unfortunately my old Sarona bumper cracked. A combination of factors contributed to this - inexpensive fiberglass design, bumpy driveways, etc.

Old Bumper (My Car)

New Bumper (Someone Else's Car)

I've decided to replace it with something alot more sturdy (PolyUrethane), while shorter (better for driveways), all while attempting to preserve the flow with my bodykit. The new AeroSync bumper seems to fit the bill.

PLEASE IGNORE THE CARS WHEN YOU COMPARE THEM =)

 

New one is way more tasteful. The Sarona cracking was a blessing in disguise.. that thing hurts to look at. Get the NISMO bumper, super clean lookin.

 

Ouch, hehe... harsh words =)

I grew to love the Sarona one, but I think it's time to move on... the new one should be on the car and painted by tomorrow night. I'll post pics when it's ready.

Thanks.

 

im sorry but the sarona is more of a one off kit. Looks much more unique and different. To many people with Z's are nismo obsessed, honestly I dont see what the craze is. If u can get your hands on a sarona front bumper I say stick with it or get something else unique... not something that just blends with the crowd.

 

sarona: way more unique. sexier.

 

Got any more pics of your old one? I'm looking to get a new front end also.

 

AeroSync, the other one looks kinda teenager/rice.

 

Hmm, a mixed review eh ?

And unfortunately, the Sarona's design doesn't allow it to be very practical in terms of daily driving. We'll see what happens

Note: The new one is a/k/a KurumaZ Zero Bumper.

 

def like the first front that was on the car other is ok too,what side skirts and rear do you have? how was the fitment of both? thanks

 

Side skirts are Sarona, rear skirt is Vizage, rear wing is Veilside V1.

Fitment of sideskirts was pretty decent... old bumper "okay", new bumper don't know yet

 

im all against any bumper that makes a z look like like a fish. aka the nurse shark look : http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Galler...nurseshark.htm

 

slay, why has your z been up on ebay so much during the past 9 mos? are you the original owner?
add: i've always considered the db in your sig to be one of the nicest on this site. got pix of the new front on your z yet?

 

haha theyre probly scams on ebay. just like the guy who tried to sell the do luck z and someone tried to sell a 1300 horse 300zx that belongs to a guy i know. most of those are straight up scams.

 

Whatever bumper you go with, as long as it's not the one you have on will be good.

But I guess it's all about what you want. I personally think the Z has very classy shophisticated lines and the new bumper you posted enhances the car's already classy European lines. The bumper you have now makes it look like a Camero. (long nose)

Nothing wrong with a Camero. But I bought the Z because I like the lines of it and any mods I do to it will just enhance it, not make it look like some other car.

Anyhoo, go with the new bumper.

PS: to be fair since I insulted your taste in bumpers... this is the lip I am thinking of putting onto my Z's bumper:

Now you can get a chance to either agree with my taste or make fun of it

 

UPDATE:

I've had the new bumper on my car for a day now, and my god I love it.

It looks awesome... I'll have pics from the huge Treasure Island (CA) meet tomorrow, no doubt... so give me some time to post those.

Anyway, not only does it look great but I'm not worried about smashing it on a driveway entrance anymore since a) it's shorter and b) it's polyurethane.

Definitely a good decision! Props to KurumaZ (.com) for hooking me up.

PS: With regards to the eBay stuff, some of it was a scam. The rest was me trying to get a feel for the market value of modified Zs =)

 

Thanks to agartstudios.com for taking & hosting these.

This is from the Treasure Island meet today.

 

nice, but i still like the sarona better.

 

looks great! very nice lines, good choice

 

IMO that flows sooooo much better now

Awesome awesome!
