Default Discussion: Front Lip Spoiler Vs Aero Bumper

Ok well.

So i just got my S2K about 2-3 weeks ago, and i had to Tow it to my garage.
Keeping it Simple - Tow Truck > Lowered car

So pretty much, my lip got cracked.
It would be more expensive to repair mine, then it would to just buy a new one.

So i was thinking, why not get an aftermarket Lip Spoiler or Aero bumper.

Here is the Discussion part. What’s your opinion?
And what lips/Aero bumpers are your favorites?

If it were me, I'd just get the entire J's front end, but then again, that is just me.

The amuse lip is nice, IMO

Are you talking the whole Frontend?

Aero bonnet, Blister Fender Kit, Type S bumper, tow hook, and Canards ?

or just the bumper? i damaged a lip, not my "front end"

No I was talking about the whole thing =]

I am liking the J's aero if you were more interested in that, I realize the front end entirely would be about well...a down payment on a new car lol.

Personally, I really like that ASM bumper. The only problem is, I'd have to take out a second mortgage to get one.

I might just remove the lip (cracked).

I am very interested in maybe just getting the j's bumper.
For now, until i could afford the rest of the kip


The Cwest Aero also interest me, and is pretty inexpensive
And the VARIS Front Bumper w/ Carbon Lip is also pretty decent for the price.


i am not the biggest fan of the Spoon, or Mugen. So don’t recommend those

I am a Computer tech for a nation wide company, which supports a world wide company.
The company i work for is called TecniSource, and I support “The Nature Conservancy”

Oh and I still live at home. But all this fun won’t last for long. (I understand this)
I should be going back to school in the fall. so my fun and founds will be limited.

I also make a couple dollars here and there working on cars, doing swaps etc.
I am pretty experience when it comes to Nissans, and I also have a big background in Hondas

And I am also a DJ, I use to Gig at bars, but I don’t have much time to do that any more.

Awkward, I am a Nissan guy as well. =] And I too have some knowledge of Honda's.
