350z front bumper opinions please
Hi Guys and Girls during the snow and ice we all had i managed to slide my 350z into a tree and put a nice hole into my bumper and dent my bonnet, i
got a bit excited with my right foot
So i have decided to do a few mods and change the styling a little, but im stuck as to what to go for ive decided on a carbon bonnet with a couple of
vents in so thats sorted although very expensive!!
I have put some pics below if you could all be so kind and post your opinions on the front bumpers of these, i would be most grateful.
This is my car now before the damage

i like 2, but wouldn't work without new side skirts, and then probably rear bumper. option 3 is very nice too, plus looks like it works with the
standard sides

Just use the damaged one to make a carbon bumper as well as the bonnet.
I'd rather spend money like that than make it look like any of the other three...

No 2 is simple and clean (without the dubious "winglets" ) has a certain Racing "porker" look about it

I like option 1 but then i like the understated look over the fast and furious one

option 0, fix it and put it back to standard, looks so much better than the other ones, they look like a lesson in 'how to cheapen a nice
car'
carbon bonnet - yes
bumper that looks like the car is wearing a nappy - NO

+1
or
fit the splitter and chop off the bumper under the grille and fit a huge intercooler.
Also, what about plexiglass bonnet.
Start with detailing and chrome

Keep it standard, looks good and protects the resale value.

I prefer standard - the others give too little clearance for regular road usage - speed humps and sharp transitions will cause problems.

Keep it standard too. Nissan aren't an international company because they couldn't design a bumper.
Th others look cheap and chavvy imo.

Keep it standard for my money.
The carbon bonnet should look good provided the scoops/vents are minimal.
After market add-ons (IMHO) always look just that and never seem to be painted properly either.

Personally, I'd return both the bonnet and bumper to original condition. I would never contemplate buying a used road car that had a carbon
fibre bonnet....... too fast, too furious.......
