What aftermarket bumpers do you like?

Hi guys im new on here and was wondering what aftermarket front bumper do you guys like. I'm looking in to getting a new front bumper since my is cracked in half on the bottom. I was thinking of the shine auto bumper half or the full R magic kit.

shineauto front bumper half.

Rmagic bumper: shineauto also makes it.

These are the two i like.....now i am going to do sides and rear but im not in a rush to do that right now. Show me other kits i don't know about.

First one looks good. Or you could just cut the center portion out of an S5 bumper and still look good. I went the body kit route before. It's not for me (or for RI roads).

yeah i don't want anything crazy for the street....but i'm a fan of them. i love the whole jdm time attack and drift looks. i'm just trying to find something a bit more tamed for the street. and these are the one's i found to be pretty tamed. i just wanted to see if you guys have some other kits i don't know about

that rmagic front looks awesome you cant go wrong..

There isnt many aftermarket bumpers that somewhat try to resemble the original s5 bumper.

Gp sports here, there isnt much options. Im not a fan of the M-sports or BN sports kits since they flare out and only look good with big rims and mega slam unlike the Gp sports kit that can still pull it off without requiring all that.

Op. what wheels do you plan to rock? that plays a more important role than the kit imo

Kits dont look very good with 16 and under imo.

You mean this front bumper? - My cars got the full r magic kit on it. I took a mould of it when it was repainted incase i ever prang the car, could sell them but I think freight to the US would be ridiculous

save for coilovers and do it right the first time.. I have yet to see shock and springs with rims and a kit look low enough. Springs look half-assed on a car with rims and kit. The wheels should look good. enjoy

Love the aggressive kits. I'm a big fan of BN. We sell a good bit of 'em for s13's. URAS is always money too, especially in the world of slap it on and fall off or stance.

my shocks are blown....and trust me i wasn't going to put a bodykit on it when it only has shock and springs. i wanna start auto crossing it and drifting it so shocks and the springs are my best bet. i'm a broke college student so coilovers and a kit are going to have to wait. i just wanted to see what else is out there.

My absolute favorite combo is FC2000 front with Erebuni (or Sarona, same thing from what I've seen) side skirts and rear bumper, plus either Erebuni spoiler or a stock spoiler. Another excellent rear bumper choice imo is the Bomex (ViS makes it, too).

Unfortunately though a lot of those have been discontinued, lost, or were one-offs.

If your up to it, get a cheap gpsports kit, and mod it.. like shave the lines in it, etc. Or what i would like to do, is adapt a kit from another car and mold it into the fc kit.
I still want to take teh gpsports 240sx kit http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-..._6959215_n.jpg and adapt the front to my fc http://i51.tinypic.com/28a7sjl.jpg . This wouldnt be too hard really. Fiberglass is easy to work with.
