To each his own - regarding what's "rice," and what's not.
I am simply trying to get my car to a point that makes me happy.
That said - 350zyalata - check out my WTT: Nismo V2 ad
in the private classifieds. I want to go w/ a cf lipped bumper
to create a more finished look. Shine made a V2 w/ a cf lip
integrated, but the timing for me was way off. My goal is
to have a car with cf from front to rear, in an aesthetically
pleasing way, with high-end parts. Unfortunately, I cannot
afford High-End JDM/USDM Cf without some planning involved.
The painted bumper looks bleh when combined with the CF...
IMO.

 

^ you're on the right track this time....and red stock bumper with a CF lip would match perfectly with the rest of the car. Good choice....too bad though....V2 is an awesome bodykit.

 

Then maybe I can really lower my car on coilovers w/
out totalling it on the way out of my condo...
