#60325, "Cracked OEM bumper, dont' want to reduce ground clearance, options?"


          

What can I do about a cracked OEM bumper? Should I just get a bra and cover it up (only $79), or go ahead and get an aftermarket? How bad will a bra look with sideskirts? I only have 3.9" of ground clearance, so if I get an aftermarket bumper, it can't reduce ground clearance much. What are some flashy aftermarket bumpers that don't reduce ground clearance much. Blitz I know reduces it by like 2" or something crazy.

If you don't plan on having to fix scraped on the front due to low clearance, for the love of god don't get blitz. The WW front is nice but more flashy than you would likely want. I'd so go with BC or Combat.

I've seen the stillen bumper, and it is not supposed to reduce ground clearance much. Matching that up with something like buddy club sideskirts should look pretty nice. Anybody know where I can get the stillen front from?

My bumper is just a tad lower than stock, the 'tips' give it an illusion of being lower than it actually is. My car is lowered about 1.8 inches in the front and I can maneuver almost anything unless it's an insane drop. Here are a few pics:







p.s. It's a Streetfyter
