Thoughts about Versus?

I've been contemplating whether or not I should get a Versus front bumper by the end of the summer. How do you guys feel about it? All opinions welcome.

Thanks.

I think it looks great...

IF and only IF the rest of your car goes with the theme. The bumper is more on the extreme side so the car must be styled with a sporty edge.

i agree. it's a nice looking front bumper, but it's a little much on the extreme side for me. i believe accuratein is the only one with that bumper on the forums? PLUS he has that intercooler...dunno if it actually works, but in his case, freaking sick!

I don't think Anthracite is a good color for the Versus front bumper.

That's another thing I was thinking. I was looking into the RonJon front as well and not sure which would look better. I know the RonJon front looks very nice in Anthracite but a photoshop of the Versus would help a lot. It's very hard to find a proper picture though.

I think so too Ballin...

If anyone is good with photoshop, a quick chop would be greatly appreciated...





If these pictures don't work properly, then I can try to find more.

Thanks in advance.

These actually might work better...

This picture of the bumper was borrowed from Accuratein's thread, hope it's ok with him...

it works for accuratein because the intercooler looks organized and neat

if you have nothing behind your bumper it will look like a mess, kind of like cardiac open heart surgery, except vehicular surgery

That's true but I would organize it and probably get a FMIC or something.

I wouldn't say like a mess, it's just the radiator really. Before Eric had his FMIC, it looked fine but obviously it looks better with one.

Nevermind on the Versus front...changed my mind already...

Now I will be deciding between the Type S (A-Spec?) and the RonJon...

Type S aspec is ....EHHHHH spec..lol


either stick with what you got before, or get RJ. personally, if you're looking to be different go RJ, but the 04-06 A-spec kit is still the biggest attention grabber to me.

you can put hid fogs in there too and make it look natural, no grill grating or cutting or trial and error-ing

Those last three pictures are the ultimate killers that make me ! I have those pictures saved on my computer and stared at them for a good three hours last night trying to decide what to do!
