Default New bumper

So I was installing injen dual intakes on my 07 when the 100+ heat got to me, I screwed up and put a nice little crack in my front Bumper about 1" long. Anyways, I want to get a new bumper but i don't want it to be too agressive, I don't want chicken wire. I looked at the OEM nismo one but it was like 500+ bucks...anyone have any good ideas?


How does this one look? http://www.carbodykitstore.com/produ...ducts_id=10154

Depends how big damage is, if it requires alot of fixing then repainting (obviously) its probably worth to get a replica that will need to be fitted and sprayed again. btw i suggest contacting dtm, their replicas fit (better at least) AND cost twice less (they resell VIS)

There are very few bumpers that look good without skirts and a rear.

I would just get a stock bumper, or fix that one, and get a lip.

The Aerosync flows well with the stock sides and rear, but it does hang lower than stock.

The Nismo V2 is probably the most popular aftermarket front bumper on the market. It would also be my choice if I had to replace my bumper. You might also have to get the side skirts for all of it to flow properly.

Chicken wire is so JDM!!

+1 for fixing your bumper, it's probably not that bad.
