Default help me choose a new front end!!

I have a brickyard and i just had my front bumper cracked pretty bad, so I am debating on what front end to go with. Either an aftermarket bumper or stock with an aftermarket lip.

Please, lets help josh choose!!

If you want a whole new bumper, I'd get the esprit.

It looks super smooth

i like the stock bumper w/ top secret cf lip or data system lip.

if you get a new bumper, id go with the air walker bumper, i think its hawt

the ings+1 nspec would look good, too if you filled the little nostril looking thing in.

Check out the front bumper that 350ZMatt designed. I love the kit and have ordered the side skirts for myself. I'll eventually be getting the fenders. You can check out the rest of the kit here:

i like the bumper by 350zmatt ... except for the nostrils. if you fill those in it would look really bad ***, sorta like the cwest bumper for the s2k.

the wheels on the wald car look like work equips. the wald lip looks good, it just looks like its too far to the ground.

*edi*t after looking at all the different bumpers and front lips out there, i dont think you can go wrong with any of them...

*edit* ok so maybe not. so i absolutely dont like the esprit, central 20, impul, ings type 3, real sports or varis

That's because that silver car is SLAMMED. Look at the red car and you can see what it would look like without the massive drop.
