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.

 

its hard to pull off a gp kit dude. your came already came like that so dont even try lol

uras nuff said


or tamon (basically a fc2000 but whatever)

 

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.

 

OEM is the way to go

 

Origin Stream Line

 

Shine auto front lip, shine r-magic sides, shine re diffuser, and some 17in wheels.

 

bn type to is sex if you like aggressive kits

 

R-Magic.......


I will have that bumper some day, don't give a **** how much it costs.

 

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

 

nice.....loving the pics guys. yeah right now my car is stock but im going to run 17's.

how the car sits right now.


the rims im going to put on from my old car.


i really wanna get coilovers but i think i'm going to go with shock and springs since i'm to broke for coilovers.

 

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.

 

foresight is the best
M-sports is a close second

 

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.

 

meh, if your going to spend money on shocks and springs might as well get godspeeds. theyre pretty decent. ive been rolling around on them for a good 3-4 months now. they damn cheap for coilovers

 

Foresight is definitely my favorite, I also dig the amemiya

 

Really how do they ride? are they megen and ksport?

 

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).

Brilliant!

 

damn...never knew there was so many kit options for the FC

 

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.
