I'm with Eric and Q on this one. The V2 hangs pretty low and with it having a slightly longer nose, the sideskirts/rears (imho) really help bring it together and are a must if you want the lines to match from front to the side to the back.
The Aerosync is really a 03-05 bumper with Nismo lip molded onto it and would look better with sides/rears as well.
Either way, both are classics and you can't really go wrong.

Hmmm I might go to the dyno day, especially if Steve can double check stuff while it's on there. I didn't do a retune after swapping out for ART pipes and the TDX since I had HFC's put on the midpipes and it was similar enough. Would definitely like to see how my power I gained from the switch, and that would help justify the cost haha.

Another reason why the V2 bumper screams "add to me" is the missing reflectors. It just says "I'm not stock, so check out the rest of my kit". Then when it's not there, bitches be like

i have to say i am impressed.... i need to crawl under the car and see what is hitting. when driving and rolling down the street there is something hitting somewhere, this morning i thought my hatch wasnt shut all the way so i checked it... was tight but the knocking/hitting was still there

I had to adjust/remove a lot of stuff to make it fit perfect, but it's also not made for my car. Ended up having to space the w-brace down a bit because the midpipes were resting on that. Also, I had something with the driver side hanger getting pulled into the frame and that was squeaking bad, but I think that was because it was a tad short, probably from the HFC getting added.

yeah they had spacer for the m brace (or w depending on how you look at it), by shaking the exhaust while on stands it wasnt hitting anything, but it does when i am driving. i didnt tighten the clamps to tight because it said like 7ftlb torque. i got them barely snug, i wonder if that is the banging.... maybe settled some and now little loose. dunno, going to crawl under it this weekend

Do your ART pipes have the bracket mounts like the OEM cats?
