Long story short, i was in jersey last night, lost control cause of the rain, and i hit a bank on the side of the road. only thing messed up is the front bumper, so instead of goin back to stock i figure ill do a full kit.

you guys got any ideas for me?

fuck i did that 2 weeks ago and ruined my wheels. i feel your pain. I like the shine street kit with a cf center. WW is a little too "soft" for me, it barely even looks like there's a kit there when you have it. Shine street is a little more aggressive and changes the look of the car more

....Shine street is a little more aggressive and changes the look of the car more

..but fits like ass! :agreed: :noway:

Wings West or Shine Street. Wings West is a little more suttle, but still looks good imo. Shine street is a little more aggressive but ive heard requires a little more work to make it fit right. Im thinkin of goin wings west.

isnt the wingswest just an add-on? like a lipkit

yea....are u lookin to replace the whole bumper with an aftermarket bumper? If so...i kinda like the razzi kit or the bomex front but i hate the bomex rear bumper.

:edit:
Ahhh, beat to the punch.

 

[gtseclipse]

im real big on the bomex front but i dont like the location of the parking lights, and yea i have to replace the whole bumper

 

[randyrat]

to be honest i have never seen a body kit on a 3g look good...but to each their own...wings west lip kit looks perfect on an 03-05...

well I would just get another OEM front bumper and go with a full wings west kit. WW just looks the best IMO.

When I got rear-ended a few months ago, I just got another OEM rear bumper because I'm planning on going WW soon as I drop it.

 

[gtseclipse]

i would get the WW if i didnt need a enw bumper

 

[randyrat]

just slip that cost into the cost of a new bumper...it's not that hard to get past the insurance company...if they even care...

 

[gtseclipse]

only thing is, i didnt go through insurance, cause my rates r already out the ass for no reason, and im not gunna give the a reason to raise it lol

im thinkin about maybe gettin the bomex and then customizing it to relocate the parking lights

such a waste of a nice car...

 

[gtseclipse]

i know what you mean, and i really wanted to wait til they came out with a new design for a kit before i picked one up, but im kinda stuck right now

 

[ICEMAN99TURBO]

Why not just get a newer bumper from Dr.9023G?

thats not a bad idea, i'm just tryin to weigh out my options right now

SS fits fine if you know what you're doing. Any kit reqiores sanding and often times filling in order to tweak it to fit perfect. It's up to you what you want to do but either the WW or SS are the cleanest. Then on the same token everybody has it so you won't be too unique. Whatever

The W.W. kit doesn't need any "tweaking" to fit perfect. You just undo the tape and stick it on..put a few screws in. DONE
