Here is a pic of the car I'm going to buy. I am gonna get black projector headlights for it and I was thinking but I know what you guys are gonna tell me, should I go with a aftermarket front bumper, Bomex or something like that. Or should I just get the stock one and put a RSDSM CF lip on it. Input please and maybe pics of 2gb's with just front bumpers, I don't want one thats gonna hang 2 inches lower than the rest of the factory ground fx just something different.

This board is going to say stock over and over again. I recommend getting what YOU want..if you want to be different from the crowd get a aftermarket kit for it. If it was ME, I'd get something other than stock just to stand out a bit. But please do NOT get the street fighter/blitz kit..it is WAY overdone.
 
I say get the Stillen front. It's the closest bumper to stock but is more visually appealing IMO and it lines up with the stock side skirts. Also it's polyurethane. Only get a lip if you're going to paint your car black. Otherwise you'll get that ugly lip gap, which shows up on lighter cars.

Are you having an identity crisis? :D
 
I like the idea of stock with a CF lip or any aftermarket front bumper. all look good just make sure you make it fast!
 
unless you're going to do the rest of the car with sides and a rear end, you might as well go stock. Nothing's more ghetto than a car with an aftermarket front that hangs down two inches and 4x4 side skirts.

Read the post Im trying to get idea's on one's that won't hang below the side skirts. I don't know much about exterior so I thought I'd ask if anyone knew of any good front bumpers that were basically stock. Thanks for the help though. :thumbdown
 
the stock front with a lip is actually lower than alot of bodykit fronts out there... and i really don't think it matches up well, having a lip that hangs 2" lower than the factory sides...
your car, your choice. if youre going the factory 2GB look, then get the factory front, foglights, black housing headlights, spend the rest on lowering and maybe GSX wheels or something nice like that.
Stillen front is a great choice... i wanted that one sooo bad... i might not even mount my SF1 and just get a stillen before next spring... :D
