hey guys i wanna get a new front bumper but im having trouble deciding between the stillen or the wings west front bumper. Which would u go with? by the way if i was to get the wings west full body kit would i have to make some modifications to the rear bumper the part that surrounds the exhaust??? Because i got the dual Hyper exhaust on my Z. I noticed from NsrZ32's sig that it looks like he had to modify the rear bumper to fit it aroung the hyper exhaust.

P.S what u think looks better the Exhaust pipes coming straight out or being bent a bit to the side like NsrZ32's?

Well I won't contribute to much since you know my answer. But I do prefer the wings west, I think its a better looking kit and fitment is very good (stillen fits very well too). Another thing to consider is that the Wings West kit is much more affordable.

As for the HKS Hiper with the WW, it needs to be trimmed it you want to avoid burning your bumper.

Also, the reason that the HKS exhaust comes out at an angle as opposed to straight out is because it has one less bend and thus flows better and causes less restriction. It is the best flowing Z32 exhaust on the market.

Could any descent body shop do the trimming? and would it be expensive?

I did it myself, I'm sure you could easily do it before its painted. But if you didn't want to, a body shop sure isn't going to charge you much to do it.
