Ebay bumper....really...??

Don't even consider that junk it'll fit like garbage and if you dunno how to do body work than you'll spend more money having someone make that kit fit right than it would to get a nice legit company. Search and you'll find a recent thread where I posted a comparison of a knock off body kit and an origin kit fitment.

OEM is the best though, no fitment issues, and you don't have to do anywork to them.

Stock bumpers look great with carbon fiber spliters or lip kits. Stock fenders and cby fener flares look good too. Fiber glass snow plow body kits are for show cars in my opinion.

What that's my opinion I've had cars with body kits and they suck. They get cracked and look like s*** then. A waste of money in my eyes. But if you or anyone else wants to run them that's your choice. I'd also go with fender flare kits too, of the same material as the splitters or lip kit.

I have OEM bumpers with 180sx chuki aero. If I put "carbon fiber splitters" on my car, it would would look like ****

i like body kits so i vote for a body kit but make sure you get one from a good company so you dont have fitment issues. to me OEM areo is cool but at the same time its becoming so common that its starting to lose its cool but i think it comes from all the honda ricer boys jumping on the 240 band wagon and wanting them to be "jdm tyte" when in all fairness custom made one off body kits is the true JDM tight.
