    Looking for a Subtle Front Bumper

    Hey Peoples,

    I hit an animal a couple of weeks ago and tore up the bottom piece of my bumper and am now looking for something subtle to put on and not be to crazy....lots of the conversions ive seen are crazy racer type....or they are all for wide body conversion. does anybody make a cool looking front end thats not crazy?

    You have a decent selection to choose from. The most subtle one I seen is on this car (I hope the owner doesnt mind me posting pic)



    Looks like he just the stock one and painted it to match his color. Looks nice. Others are Wings west lip, RM lip, to name a few. If you need a new bumper, you may want to give it some thought. Lips get damaged and you can replace easily. 1 Piece bumpers are a little tougher on the wallet because you would have to replace the whole thing. Good luck.

    Hi nsx23, good thing that I have some company on appreciating more subtle looking nsxes...

    I was going through the thinking process as Donwon, a painted 96+ front lip or the Wings West. Speed of Science also have a good looking carbon fiber lip but last time I visited his web site, it's unavailable...

    couple days ago, I come across this one,

    but how are we going to get hold of this is beyond me and I bet it's going to be pricey...

    You might want to check out the spoilers from BackYard Special. Not sure if there are retailers in the US, but you could probably order it by email. Their spoilers are not as extreme as your typical Wings West fare.

    Is it just me, or does it look like the Kaiser Silver in the photo above has had its rubber lip removed?

    That one was the only pic I noticed with that painted lip. Looks great from that angle.
