Vertex front is my favorite bumper for the Z33. However, it's not a long nose look. Of the 1st two, I think I prefer the INGS with the inner grille portion painted black.

went and picked up redleaders vertex last night. i could get it for less, it has already been mounted and fitted very close, and no chance of shipping damage or getting ripped off or a month shipping time.
i am gunna start working on this here as soon as i write this, so hoping to get it pretty much ready for paint today. gunna add abit of strength to it though and fill the lower spoiler part with spray foam so it won't blow up when i hit something again. gunna add some more air ducts to it similar to the upper portion of the asuka wb front i posted above. so it will be some what a custom bumper when done and alot stronger than "out of the box".

just finished up for the day. 10 hours into an already painted bumper, lol. guess i am just a perfectionist.
ya, gunna be making another splitter for it. i think i have enough material leftover from my last one. also, there really is not a place to mount it underneath. i will be making an aluminum under panel that will span the whole bumper and fasten to the radiator core making it really reinforced and strong as hell. i also filled the bottom lip portion of the spoiler with spray foam.. i had to remake the whole bottom lip area due to the gelcoat being cracked. only way to get rid of it is to grind it all away and fill and smooth with a product called kitty hair. think of figerglass and resin that spreads like bondo and is strong as hell!! ground the gelcoat out and filled with kitty hair on a bunch of probable areas it will crack if twisted or hit. so hopefully, this bumper will take a beating. if i hit something again, the foam filled area will only allow a small crack instead of the whole bumper shattering.
still want to run another layer of matting on the back side in a couple areas. other than that i should be ready for primer and final blocking out after a few more hours.
then comes the custom work! i'm glad i got this bumper. it does fit the car pretty well.
