Like the bumper, but that car needs the rest of a kit on it to pull it off better. Just looks too low compared to the rest of the car.

i think the concept was the r32 and r33. i heard the old mold was not worth restoring so they went with this new model. good or bad no clue

I like GT-R style bumpers on some S-Chassis... It shows continunity in Nissan's design language for cars of that era...

It just needs OEM coupe skirts and coupe valance. I believe Bomex makes replicas of these, too.

I dont like it. Too boxy. Makes the car look even older then it actually is

TOTALLY agree. That's exactly what I was going to say, boxy.

I think it gives it classic Japan nostalgia. Does need matching skirts and rear though.

my fav part is the 2 bumper vents below the headlight/grill area. Almost none of the aftermarket bumpers have those holes. I need those areas vented because I have an oil cooler sitting on top of the bumper support directly behind the factory bumper vent holes.

It's not the prettiest bumper in the world, but in terms of functionality for me, it's one of the top.

Awesome opossum, thumbs up from me. I do need to get a new bumper soon... hmmm...

really? a thread about a garbage front end from a company that makes ebay kits look good?

ugh... this community is totally in the crapper. stop with all the pipe dreams, setting the bar too low, and accepting mediocrity...

one day ill log on here and be happy to see something sweet. until then, this drivel will make "us" what "we" are....

I like it however, I agree that it needs corresponding side strakes and rear bumper. I feel it would also benefit from lack of wing, colour change and more agressive stance. In its current shape, it appears far too unbalanced.
