I mean the whole nose/front bumper.I dont want one that is too low,i know that wont look good w/o sideskirts. i want to put on a rear spoiler too.Anybody got any pics ?I have come to one conclusion,whatever supra i might get it wont be as clean as my fd and i am sure i will have to spend at least 4-5 grand extra for the supra.

agreed, atleast throw some 99 spex skirts on them. AND btw you will not find any top fuel spoilers for sale anywhere so good luck on that.

The only front bumpers that i think look good without sides is the MS front end . . . .



EDIT: Also, how long did it take for your V8 conversion coolvette? I'm going to get Hinson Supercars to do mine around April . . . . are you happy with it and their work? Thanks- Clayton T.

You shouldn't do an aggressive bumper with no skirts. My friend did that with his 93 300zx and it looks really ugly. Even uglier than its stock form.
