Installed my new lip today
#22
Vinyl or gtfo...
Or fix bumper. And take care of that pin stripe, it looks like someone keyed your car hard. Also not a fan of the lip, never have been. Too snow plow-esque. But its your car so if you like it my two cents should be worthless!... Minus my vinyl suggestion, that stays.

The fit of the lip looks good from the photo.But,overall it looks cheap/flimsy.You'll find out
when you hit something .As others have said,whats with the slot?I'm curious,why did a previous owner cut this out?Was damaged?Had a foreign plate attached?
Strange...
Trying to think of something creative to fill this in.A black mesh insert would look better than what you have.I'd also put some smoke vinyl tint on your front reflectors.
Get rid of the pinstripes.

I love how people say "Haters gonna hate" to something that clearly looks like crap.
But do carry on driving your car with a huge useless hole cut into the bumper while the rest of us laugh at you for being so oblivious to how bad it actually looks.

You still never answered me how a cut up bumper is unique?

Why not extend the Hitler/ dirty sanchez to a full Magnum PI kinda stache, atleast so as to match up with the factory lower duct to possibly give it some flow. Get someone to photoshop what it would look like.... But at this point you might just end up having swastikas or sombreros photoshopped.

"It was there when i bought the car" is no excuse. You still bought the car didn't you? And I'm sure you looked at the bumper at some point while contemplating the purchase and you thought "hmm tacky *** hacked up front end rice mod? Cool with me brah."
Also, two thumbs down for eBay parts.

LOL - wait, so the car was "modded" to feed an intercooler with more air? As if intercoolers weren't designed to get air from the massive opening in the front bumper that's already there. But that's not what I'm interested in. I'm wondering why the car is no longer turbo? You bought a vehicle that used to be boosted? And now it's not? Yeah, you definitely won't run into issues down the line.
Side note: Wanna sell your headlights? I've got a great set of faded 05 headlights you might really like. Straight up trade?

Again using an old pic of my Z with authentic Nismo lip as a selling point. 350Z's are indeed Civics nowadays. *sigh* tired of this crap. lol.

Eventually I will be replacing the front bumper for a nismo from end from my model year. For now I threw a cheap lip on it that looks good and I dont have to worry about chewing it up. Several forum members have PMd me asking me where I got the lip and have posted in this thread.
