Default Rookie's New Sedan Bumper

I'm calling it the KurukieZ for now... I think it's currently nameless... but it's production ready... ttrank has one on his car too - it looks hawt! Maybe he'll post up some pics...
here's one of the Driver threads if anyone is interested:

Many/most of you have probably already seen it on Driver -but here it is anyway... 03-04 and 05-06 are out there...

some people opt for the Nismo sides... actually the front of the Nismo is almost identical to OEM height... here's a profile view - the bumper lines up well with the sides...

Please excuse the stockers - Volks are on order with a looonnnggg wait

Nice. Looks like a sedan version of the KurumaZ bumper.

Too bad its fiberglass. It looks good but I still like the factory "Nismo" bumper.

Looks aggressive. Would look really good with sides and a drop.

at first I was concerned that is wasn’t poly - however, it is very durable... I've scraped a few times and actually within hours of install I scuffed the lower corner on passenger side from rubbing (actually grinding) a raised concrete foundation in the garage... I thought for sure it would be cracked - but it's just moderately scraped (paint only).

I'm not blowing smoke to convince anyone that fiberglass is a better alternative to polyurethane - but I'm surprised at the durability of this bumper... rookie goes the extra mile to do things right (anyone that has seen his FX can attest to this fact).

As I've mentioned before - Nismo is a good-looking bumper - I'm just happy to have an alternative... options are good. I personally like the looks of the Kuruma.

a drop or slammed?... That's definitely not stock height...

the Nismo sides are basically the same height in front... they curve upwards in the middle so it probably gives an illusion that it's lower.

here's a profile shot - I haven't bothered with good pics yet... once the Volks are on I will
