Default I Need Opinions!

I recently cracked the front bumper on my Sol and I don't know where to find a quality OEM Replacement. I have found many Aftermarket OEM bumpers online at reasonable prices, but from what I've heard they usually dont fit right. I was also thinking about using the Mugen front Bumper. I would like some opinions on that. I'm debating between that and the OEM bumper. I like the clean JDM look and I hate body kits, but mugen is amazing so what do you guys think I should do? Another issue is rim choice. The car is Samba Green Pearl and I'm leaning toward a Bronze set of Rota Attack rims. (Gram Light Style). I know slips look amazing but I don't wanna be like everyone else. Feel Free to post pics of your cars so I can get an idea of what different rims look like on Sols. All comments will be appreciated.

I think the mugen front bumper is pretty badass for the delsol. I think the mugen kit the one of the best looking kit other than oem stock bumper. But if you do get the mugen bumper than get the rest of the kit also. Otherwise just stick with the stock bumper.

Dont use anything unless it is OEM. This is my best advice. Keep an eye on ebay, you can find one in decent shape for about 150 bucks. Try Majestic and spend like 230 shipped? Dont quote me on this.

If you wanna get serious with the Mugen, never buy anything fiber glass. The only urethane front bumper Im aware of is Wings West, and Im not a big fan. Buy MS Designs front lip, mold it. This lip will cost about 400. Id just drop 1500 and buy the whole kit if I could. If you search you can find it. It is the "Mugen" kit that is always replicated but never duplicated. But true Mugen was only front I believe. I heard they were sides, but Im not sure.

Or you can just buy any old urethane lip and mold it. They sell them on Ebay for 60 bucks this is what I did. Here is a pic



Keep the Honda H, use a bumper with no fogs unless you like them, shave the amber reflectors and get some EDM fogs. This with the MS Desgins front lip will be the best fitting, most durable MUGEN you will ever find. And it will make everyone drool. Get the whole kit, and you are envied.
