Front Bumper Choice

[jotun666]

Im about to replace my OEM front bumper with the elegant lip. Due to some A hole stepping on it and cracking the whole lower half.

So, now im having trouble deciding what i want next. I have a 2000 GT-S liquid silver. And later down the road im thinking bout getting a CF invader hood so i want something that flows well with that.

Anyone got any ideas?

*Edit*
Also forgot to mention that i have TRD sides and rear with TRD Action package spoiler.

PM Jintei and ask if he's got a replica stock front bumper with molded TRD Elegant lip on it. It's hot, trust me. Check out peeper06's pics, she bought the same front from Jintei.

kaminari always flows well with that setup.
I like the trial front but it might not look right with trd sides.
visage lip would be ok, but a little boxie looking compared to the sides.
Buddy club 2 front would flow well.

I was looking at the buddy club 2 front, but couldnt make my mind up if i liked it or not.

Is the buddy club 2 pretty low? i cant really tell from the pics in the parts section. Also, anyone know if it will work with the 1 piece aluminium underbody?

I think the bc2 front is pretty low, it looks much better with the fog light holes filled imo

[jotun666]

do you know if the holes line up with the stock fogs?

Yup, I bought it and it looks really good!

Kamanari looks good. Here's a link to pics of a Kam front/TRD sides and rear combo:

It sits pretty low. It definitely won't line up with the sides and rear.

Wait, I don't know if I read your post right. Do you mean to say that you had a stock bumper WITH TRD lip on and had it break due to a hating idiot?

IMO, I don't like the WW/TRD sides much due to the flared ends which really don't have a consistent flow. :shrugs: So a Kaminari front bumper won't flow as cleanly with the TRD sides.

BC2 will not line up with the TRD sides, or flow.

:shrugs:

Yeah i HAD a OEM front bumper with the TRD lip. The lip itself is perfectly fine, but the bumper was cracked all along the bottom.

I think i might just get a replacement OEM bumper. But seems kind of a shame to soend $295 (at the stealership) for a replacement that is unpainted.

^ plus I believe you have to purchase the stock lip in addition to the price. I had to with my 03

The buddy club is lower than the stock bumper. I dont think the fogs will fill the holes without a remount, and the sides wont line directly up but they will come close.

Don't you need rest of the kit to make it flow??
