help me pick a new front bumper...
Like the topic says, i am trying to choose a new front bumper for my car. It currently has c-west front bumper, c-west sideskirts, re-amemiya type 1? wing, and the old re-amemiya diffuser. anyway, i am getting tired of the c-west front and how boxy it is, but also cause everyone and there mom seems to have it these days.
if it were up to me i would start over with the car and go full 99 spec and be done with it. but my sideskirts were riveted on permanantly on the sides and door sills and covered up before the car got resprayed. i like the diffuser, i could change the wing but im not sure. basically i am looking to change the front bumper to something that will look good with these sideskirts and then go from there.
the bumpers i was thinking of (but not limited to) are feed, mb autosports, or 99 spec with painted lower lip.
here is a pic of my car from today:

to make it easier, here is the feed:
here is the mb autosports (mantecu's car without the east bear):
and 99 spec with painted lip:
if you guys think another front end would look better let me know. thanks.

I prefer the 99-front end to any aftermarket bumper, but I think the Feed would look best with your sideskirts. Have you also looked at the Border IV bumper?

I think the Wisesports front end would go nicely with those sideskirts as well. Not many people have that front end so it would be something new besides.

damn. i was hoping for some kind of consesus. seems like everyone has a different view of this one.
zyon - yea that bumper is basically the one i have now, just changed a little so c-west could market it under their new brand.
diablone- i would ditch the sideskirts. but like i said before theyre somewhat molded. too much of a pita i think to switch them.
i think i'd like to go with the feed type 2r, or the border. i dont think many people have those.
