Stuck between a rock and a hard place : The vote for my bumper.

[S14 Wannabe]

O.K. guys this is going to be a tough one. I for one am a person to promote speed>looks but I have no choice. I do have a choice on what to do about my car. If you don’t know what happened to my car please see here: http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....51845

Now my dilemma. I don’t know which bumper to buy. I get quite a discount because of sponsors that are on sites that I post on but I still don’t know which one to pick. No matter what, shipping is going to be $ 120.00 alone, but all of these bumpers are in the same price range. I would like to order by this week. If you had a 240 which one would you get? These are the choices:

Nismo Style for $ 159.20.Bomex 1 for $ 182.40Bomex 2 for $ 182.40 without the lights…C-West for $ 199.20

My only to-do about these bumpers is that the Nismo style and the C-West are knock off’s from importfan. The only real ones are the Bomex so fitment on the fakes might be a small problem. Thank you for voting. I am going to post this in other forums I belong to and I will let everyone know what the votes are for.Which bumper would you buy?

[Rockenreno]

personally, I'm a fan of the Nismo style, but I voted for Bomex 1 because it also looks real good and it's not a knock-off.

I voted for nismo. $120 for shipping is a joke, i got my whole motor shipped on a pallet for $200.

[GrEy240SX]

Nismo...no doubt...

[Bunta240]

yep yep. Gots to go with nismo.

[nismofan14]

I voted for bomex 1 because it will have the best fit. I bought the r33 bumper from GTP int. and if you are willing to put ALOT of body work into the nismo bumper I would go with it.

nismo looks the best...........

What?!? What needed to be done? I've seen the Nismo people get from them and they seem to bolt right in...

[nismofan14]

They do bolt right on its just the amount of time that was required to make it fit correctly. My front bumper support had to be modified. The sides where it bolts to the fender stuck out about 3-4" to far. Your best bet if you decide to buy the nismo is to get it to fit correctly, primer it, but it back on and drive around for a week or two. After that, take it back off sand it down again and use resin to fix the stress cracks, sand and prep then paint it. I have to do mine all over again because of the stress around the corners(may even buy a different bumper).

I don't want this to sound like all their products are like this, maybe I just got one that was screwed up. Its just gonna take a little more work than a genuine bomex. If you have the patience to mess with it I would get the nismo style.

Thanks alot nismofan14. I'll keep that definately in mind.

Also huge thanks to everyone that is voting and their opinions. This poll will be open until Friday. That is when I'm going to tally the votes and order.

Though I don't usually care much for aftermarket bumpers, I do like that Bomex 1.. though, if I were you, I'd also invest in some side skirts to keep the bottom of the bumper in line with the bottom of the rest of the car. Looks a lot cleaner that way.. as least, I think so. Just my 2 cents.
