Default What are the differences...

Hey guys..
I was browsing through the gallery and while looking through the body kit pics noticed that Nismo had a S tuned GT front bumper that looks very similar to the MSA Type 7 front bumper. Is the MSA a replica to the S tune??

Nismo S tune GT


MSA Type 7


Thanks.

I believe it's the short nose version of the S-tune GT front bumper.

That MSA bumper would look good with stock sides. The nismo style sides are actually lower than the front from the side view. I like that front though.

The longer nose looks way hotter...then take out the horizontal bar = win.

From what I understand the sides are actually pieces that are molded to the original side skirts. These are not actual skirts per se..

Can anyone confirm?

As far as aesthetics go i dont believe NA cars would benefit taking out the horizontal bar...There definitely would need to be something behind it to fill it in
