I say 'don't fix what ain't broke.' Goin v2 means waiting forever for the bumper coming in, not knowing how well it's going to fit/ how much prep work is involved...going to the bodyshop, hoping they do a good job and that the paint matches really well...blah blah blah. I think your look right now is killer. 06 headlights (obviously) perfect-fitting-in-good-shape front bumper w/ lip which paint matches. I dunno man, I say wait to see if you have a fender bender or something or til the rock chips get crazy bad, then take the bodyshop plunge. Just my .02 of course, but your setup looks sweet as is now.

+2 Your current front lip fits your eyelids very well. It looks so angry!

Love the look of it. What lip is that? Very nice taste. Those are original Nismo sideskirts, right?

wow your car looks nice right now...I'm curious to see what your car looks like with the V2, because your car has the eyelids, I wonder if they will look good with the v2, because the V2 is more curvy, less aggressive IMHO.

But right now, your car is hot!

ings style front lip. Damn, I was hoping everyone on here would be forcing me into the Nismo 2, but it looks like its opposite! I still really want the v2 front though!

PS I added a pic of the nismo 2 front with photoshopped eyelids

I do love the Nismo kit (as long as you keep it black...painted colors just look sort of meh)...but your car's pretty damn nice looking man. In this scenario, there's really no such thing as a bad decision.

comon.......Join the v2 club.......




I mean, your car already looks good bro.. but the v2 kit with eyelid gives you an idea that how it will turn out like.....You will still keep that Aggressiveness!

Default you cant go wrong

I like your set up now it looks close to stock but different. you can go nismo 2 if you like or save your money and do something else to you car. lights, camera, action ( REALLY SHOW LIGHTS, OR A CAMERA TO RECORD ALL OF YOU RACES IF YOU RACE. OR ACTION, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH POWER).

NICE CAR IM JEALOUS

I for one think your current set-up is hideous. I say go with the V2, and if you ever get sick of it, just put your ings + stocker back on. Its a win win.

the reason I like the Nismo 2 front so much is that it lines up with my JDM side skirts, completes my kit so everything matches, gives a super clean look since there are no reflectors on it, and extends the front end a little, giving it more of a exotic car appearence. The INGS front lip I have is cool, but is too round to match my nismo skirts i have IMO.

The chopped V2 looks good too, but everyone and there mama is going to have it on here since all of the replica companies jumped on board and are milking it for all it is worth. I still vote for your old setup since it is different from what I have seen and is unique with the front opening look like a smirking mouth.

I think completing it with the correct side skirts would be nice or you can go with the V2 for 2 optional fronts and if you ever damage one or feel like changing it up you have both sitting there
