Default Need Advice....front bumper

I'm in the process of changing my body kit out. I've replaced the Stillen hood with the Seibon TS and replaced the side skirts/rear valance with the Amuse kit.

I had planned on keeping the Stillen front bumper but now I'm not so sure. The question is........Should I keep the Stillen bumper or change it up? If you think I should change it which bumper do you think would look good on the car?

Thanks for your input.

btw...the hood will be getting painted.

here's some pics of the current bumper cover..........

Thanks Mike

I say amuse w/ the diffuser. You already have the side skirts and rear bumper. Might as well keep the theme going.

I'm thinking the same thing.....

I've always liked the Stillen front end but I've had it on two different Z's over the last five years......I'm ready for a change.


BTW....I have the Stillen rear valance and side skirts at my shop if anyone wants them......free

Thanks Guys!

I'm ordering the Amuse front end tomorrow. I'm holding off on the diffuser for now....I'm not sure if I want to go that aggressive.

I'm excited! I can't wait to get the car in for paint.

As soon as its done I'll post a bunch of pictures.....

Thanks again and have a great one!

Mike

Hey Mike - long time no see. The car has changed a LOT since I saw it last. It's come a long way since you started with the silver Z with huge stillen wing .

As far as the bumper, I think the amuse with the diffuser would look good, but I also think the stock bumper with Cwest front lip in carbon would look good as well. A rear carbon diffuser such as Top Secret would look great on the car to match those side skirts.

Either way it'll be a huge improvement. Hit me up sometime if you've got a sarasota meet or coming up to tampa for something I'd like to check it out.

Just my 2cents. ttyl!

Hey

That wing still haunts my dreams .....it was on the car when I bought it. I still can't believe I left it on there for the first few weeks.

Anyway, I'm going with the Amuse bumper. I would have considered the stock bumper with a lip but I sold my stock bumper. I should of kept all my oem body parts....lesson learned.

If anything is happening I'll give you a shout.

Thanks Mike
