Default front bumper

funnily enough, 2 weeks after getting my new bugeye, an idiot has already managed to side-swipe my front bumper, doing quite a bit of damage, and it now needs replacing.

while i'm at it, i thought i'd might as well upgrade my front bumper.
but i was thinking it would look weird if i put a wide-body on the front, and left the rest of the car.

so my question is, is there any conservative front bumpers out there that would look good by themselves with the rest of the car (MY02 wrx) stock?
possibly even a factory optioned front kit if there is such a thing?

just replace your bumper with a new one

then take a visit onto the ultrex website and pick up a nice front lip

Ask TENAGAH about this beauty. Unsure if its a factory issue bumper or he has modified it himself. Very close to original bug spec bumper but just more sexXxy



See larger pics' in his for sale thread

fuck that looks quite good, tastefully made if it's custom.

cheers for the link burtus
so you reckon just keep stock bumper and chuck on an aftermarket lip?
or would you go for an aftermarker bumper if given the chance?

It all comes down to personal choice. Just be careful if your aftermarket option is fibreglass as they are very brittle and crack easily. Personally I wouldn't go down the lip or fibreglass route if your car is, or you intend to lower it substantially.

mmm
i have no intention of lowering it, i honestly cbf with the hassle of curbs and speed bumps.

my mate has a stock peanut on super low kings and i rage everytime it takes us 5 minutes to clear a typical perth speed hump.

i like the look of the JDM factory kits tbh, they're subtle but give a nice edge to the car, especially for a purist like me.
