Default Which Front Fascia?

I am planning to install a new front bumper fascia on my Z and i was wondering if anyone can recommend a really clean one that a body shop won't have any problems painting it.... and putting it on the car. I am looking into a Stillen, Vertex, or a Tourenn which looks really awesome... Any suggestions?, tips?, or things i should be concerned about (especially about application)?... Also some pics of your front fascia would help... there are so many cool looking ones!... thanks!!

If you want real help (from some of the more serious members) provide additional info i.e. what aero mods you have (pics would help), wheels etc.

http://www.gruppe-s.com/350z/zext.htm - if it helps, you can click through the images and compare yourself. As for fitment and painting (and i hate to say it) just search on the one you pick, this forum has plenty of info.

They all look good. It depends on your sense of style and the future mods you have planned for it. Try getting a mental image of your car with all the mods done to it that you have planned, and decide which one best suits your look. (I personally like the Tourenn for its clean lines, that's just me.)

Are Shine's Hybrid FRP bumpers easily painted? Or does it need to go through the prep and paint process like fiberglass bumpers?

ANY bumper needs to be prepped for paint. Some need more prep than others

I'm looking at Ings +1's website (http://www.ings-net.com/usa/top.html) and I am looking at a kit they sell...



And it just looks sweet; its really a front lip spoiler and it enhances the look without being too "ricey". How's that?
