my 2ga smiley is cracked pretty bad on the bottom...im considering replacing it soon.

the 2gb is an obvious good choice; so clean looking and nice. still, everyone seems to be doing it, so i have to go with something different. dont ask, its just the way i am :cool:.

so before i break down and just get that, i'd like to see what clean front bumpers there are for 2g's. i don't want to have to buy side skirts and a rear bumper for it to look good, it has to flow with stock body panels. also, i'll probably mask off and paint the 2ga turbo grey trim line at the bottom of it.
i think ive seen a few clean looking ones without speed holes and shit all over the place, but i cant seem to find them online or searching on this site. help!
 
I dunno if youll like this, but ill throw it out. What about a 97-98 Talon front bumper, but fill the eagle symbol w/ filler and have it painted. Ive seen it once on here and it looked hot. Im a big fan of that bumper. Its not everyones cup of tea, but its an idea ;)
 
i love that front bumper, but you pretty much have to have the sideskirts and rear bumper to make it look right.
the "ripple" things that go across the doors, down through the front bumper on the right and left, and same on the rear all have to be there to look right...
 
I like the 97 talon bumper myself, its kinda aggressive but not too aggressive where you think it is a kit. I personally like the octand bumper, its pretty simple, and then there is one more I think its veilside maybe???? smooth likes and nothing too ferocious looking. I like to keep is simple and sleek, no of those crazy blitz kits or cybers and stuff.
 
i said it 193249328 times, ill say it another 238423423 times...

drift
evo
street fighter

3 cleaniest front bumpers out there. i love my drift :cool:
 
-octane has far too many rigid corners
-veilside will only look good with the whole thing
-drift looks nice, but has a huge ass weird looking trim thing on each side that doesnt flow at all with stock sideskirts
-street fighter is decent looking, but i like the one i just posted better, since it is basically the same but with less clutter
-evo is the front i used to like a lot, but i really dislike the tiny square holes above the main opening

the one i posted above doesnt look too great from the front though :|

after quite a bit of searching, this one gets my :thumb:

i will look in to those posted above in a second

i think thats a sf(street fighter) front bumper. i like the stillen front and rdora front. their the two i vote for.
 
That's the Combat front bumper. Importfan.com has it. I love it because it looks exactly like the Stillen lip for the Mk4 Supra. I've always kind of thought of my car as a little Supra.

That's a nice looking front end....
Also..try the Rdora front...very tasteful....and you don't need the rear.

I 2nd the Rdora. Very classy look -- great lines.

no your right, the drift front does NOT flow wit the stock sides.... on the other hand... my drift looks quite purdey with the low rise blitz sides :cool:
 
those sides are awesome, but the more and more i look at the BC2 front, i like it less, i dont know why either? :confused: im pretty sure someone posted 2 NEW kits for our 2gs... if i remember correctly those front bumpers looked good - i dont remember though do a searcha nd find out - if you like them, get 1, and be one of the first :thumb:

thats what I would choose.

great kit, i was going to get it, but 900$ for a fiberglass kit wasn't in the budget. maybe if it was urathane.
