aero should win this hands down, but there are a few stock silvia bumper lovers out in the midst.

this is my aero front bumper I like it but at the same time sucks because nobody really makes front lips for them.. I think bomex is the only one that does.. and its a special order item.

Which ever you think looks better, but if you decide to get rid of the aero front, ive got a turbo bumper and a pignose lip up for trades

I've got a jdm Silvia and it's two tone and I don't have the aero bumper on it. Simply the basic bumper they came with AKA turbo bumper llol.

the Q came off the non turbo silvias and is basically the same as the K turbo bumper jut minus the hole for side mount. i choice it because i have a FMIC and didnt like the hole.

So what if the lip is special order. Be a baller and get it. Factory aero with a lower stance and aggressive wheels, is the sechs...

Okay I'm confused I have a SMIC bumper with only 1 hole, is it K's or Q's. I always thought it was Q's. Since that was in description when I bought it from JHOT.

Isn't K's the aero bumper and Q's the SMIC(1 hole) type.

By the way is there a good DIY write up or some on here, I want to put my pig lip on my S13 front. I tried it against the bumper, and it looks like it will have little gaps on ether side on front of bumper. Its good against the sheet metal part and hole on back line up good.

Voted for Silvia turbo bumper FTW

They're kinda hard to come buy. Your best option is an importer like JHOT or Ebay or even a member on here or Zilvia or where ever. Or a near guaranteed way would be to talk to someone like Yakota180sx who lives in Japan and see if they can get you a bumper.

Also Bricks + Aero Bumper = Sex /End Thread

Aero looks the best stock for stock. I'm still mad I sold a Q's bumper to keep my K's bumper just because it has an air inlet for the SMIC.

Aero bumper is just too sexy. If it is a little bigger, it is just like another aftermarket bumper, but made to last.
