62997, What front bumper to get, that matches the rest of the car...?
Posted by TXTurboGS, Dec-06-03 11:19 AM
I want my car to look as stock as possible but I need a larger front bumper so I can fit my HRC FMIC better and so it doesn ot look that cramped (sp?) in there. I was considering buying the whole Bomex and pray to the god of Bombex, but it looks too flashy. I need it to match with the rest of the stock looking car. Thanks:cheers

I like the Stillen. Its the same height as the rest of the car.


Undergoing MAJOR modifications, inside and out

the stillen rocks lower than the stock, it isn't even with the stock body, just fyi

But the stillen also is more stock than any other front, and you gotta cut out pretty big chunks to fit an fmic. so no matter what i think any bumper you have a large fmic with will involve some modding to adjust, or fit properly.

I agree with the stillen. If you have factory sides then the stillen will line up great with them. Same height. I had to cut it out a little for the front mount, I also cut the underneith of the top of the big mouth so the air could flow to the whole intercooler. Just my .02

Cut that stock one so the FMIC fits.

Keep stock front. If you are going to get an aftermarket front you might as well get the whole kit if you want it to flow better, except for the Stillen front but I like the stock look better anyways. I have seen some HUGE FMIC's on the stock 97-99 bumpers so just do that IMO.
