Default who makes the best after market front bumper

My motor is being pulled to be re-done by SGP . Im adding a bigger intercooler and will be needing to get more air to it , so I can run the 16 to 18psi from the T-trim Vortech . Im also dropping the car down with Tien H springs [ dont want much drop ] So the bumper cant be to low either .Which after market bumper dont hang down low but still have a good opening to get air to the intercooler ?
Pics would help alot...thx

I like the looks of the Greddy or Top Secret...But the Stillen looks to be not as low sitting...I'll have to look at the Kenstyle

Im going to have to notch the bumper brace in the back , to fit the intercooler . Will the brace show in the opening of the Stillen ? If so..I'll have to modify it even more

the only thing you should see is the piece that the tow hook screws into

I think the Greddy looks best of those choices, but the fiberglass is an issue for me. I guess if Stillen makes the only urethane one, then that may be your best bet?

I just installed my Stillen this week!

The fitment was perfect and I like that is is urethane and not fiberglass.

I added some custom mesh to keep th cats out......

I think the GReddy is supposed to have the least ground clearance of the bumpers. I have a Top Secret front and like the way the Impul (urethane) looks too.

I don't have any clearance issues with my TS. I am not lowered yet, but I am like you booger and don't want to lower it a lot. I think there is enough clearance right now to lower it a little with out scraping.

I'd say go with a KS front & have the bottom bar cut out so your fmic can get frosted...
