Ok here's the deal

[FourG63 97GST]

Here's the deal. I'm getting a new front bumper because mine is broken, I like the look of the 97+ bumper I have now. but its like $320 at the dealership, i know I can get it cheaper of ebay or something but that not the point right now.(note: I'm not paying for it)

I'm trying to decide between the "Sensei" front bumper aka S1
or the "Buddy Club"

best price Ive found is $275, know were I can get it cheaper?

I like the latter of the two much better, those big a$$ foglights just kill the look.

 

[98RedGs]

i say the one in the red...
i may be partial to it because i got it but i think it looks better IMO

 

[GoSpeedRacerGo]

I like the top one alot. Specially with hte PIAAs, but if you have a larger intercooler would those foggers be able to fit in there? I dont think so

Just my .02 it looks g@y when people just have the fromt bumper and nothing eles , i would just get a stock front bumper.

So is that the Red 1 or the orange 1?

It seems like with the second one it would be hard to run a side mount. Do you have a FMIC

 

[FourG63 97GST]

Oh, true
I didn't think about that. Good thing I started a thread about it.
the doesn't look like it fit up well either. look where the bumper meets the hood between the light.
you people are so darm smart.
thanx for pointing that out

 

[madmax]

No problem, it doesn't look like the car in the pic is running a FMIC either, but I bet it isn't a turbo.

why not just go on www.dsmtrader.com and pick up a used 97+ front bumper for $100-150? I think there actually might be one for sale in the classifieds on this forum. Also check www.partstrader.com

 

[Megaman]

stick with the stock bumper!
but if i had to pick one...the red one

 

[Sean91TSi]

im not a big body kit guy but the red car is the better looking on or this one

I like the orange one because it looks different and I have not seen that one a lot. If you don't have side skirts or 18 inch wheels, but want a different look other than factory....... I would go with the orange.

Now if your car is a dark color like dark green, black etc. I would go with the red cars front end, but to balance it off you may have to put side skirts on it because the front will come down to low to match the sides. Usually when you add a lower front people usually at least add lower side skirts too. (IMO) Hope it comes out nice and I commend you for being different and original.

personally.. i dont like any of them.. but if i had to chose.. I REALLY HATE THE BUDDY CLUB.. on ALL CARS.. so i'd go for the top one (red)just cause of that reason.. but what i think really looks the best is.. 97+ oem front and sides.. .. throw in a cf hood and a nice big fmic.. and it looks good already.

Yea, I always wanted the buddy club. but I'm running my stock side mount so It wont get enough airflow If I get that.

I know It may look weird with stock side skirts and rear bumper but its a start I would eventuallly complete the kit. have more important stuff to worry about right now like upgrade fuel system,AFC ect. so it will have to wait.

I decicided to go with the Sensei(the red 1) just looking for the best price now $275 is the best Ive seen so far. thanks for the replies people.
and White 90 GSX(Rob) for picking that kit out.

 

[Fryguy]

where can I get that orange one?

 

[FourG63 97GST]

darm, I forgot. I'll remember in a seconds

 

[FourG63 97GST]

k, its http://www.streetweaponkits.com/index.htm

the total came up to $433 shipped, so I didn't get it from them
I did it locally, the shop ordered it from http://www.asylumms.com/ which totals to $311

price would be different depending where you live

 

[rubbersidedown]

i'm sorry but that orange one is just horrrible
the red one looks really cool and gives the car more of a rally type look. and what's up w/ those two slots on either side of the mouth on the orange one? bleh again

 

[BlueSexMachine]

I got a 97 Eclipse OEM front cover from Conicelli Mitsubishi (DSM discount) for $260

 

[Airpoppoff]
