Looking at a new front bumper

I've kinda been throwing around the idea of changing my front bumper. Not that I don't like it.. but it's getting a bit too common. I'm thinking of going with the Do-Luck front bumper. It's MUCH more agressive, but it's my favorite aftermarket Z bumper right now. I don't know if this front bumper would work with my current kit, what do you guys think:

Do luck front bumper:




Some pics of my car for reference:

Here are the central20 sideskirts:



Here is the rear:

The only thing I would do to modify the do-luck is to paint the mesh grill on the side vents black.

Damn the rims on that other Z are HOT! But yeah, that bumper is a bit to for my taste. Just make sure whatever bumper you get has room for an interfooler!

Here is another kit I like from chargespeed... however, a few things I decided to chop out. If I do just get this front bumper, I think it will flow MUCH better then the do-luck. Don't get me wrong, the do-luck is still my fav, but the problem is the synergy between my current components.

I would say go with the Ings+1 LX kit. Looks aggressive yet clean. I have an Ings kit on my Evo and their quality is not short of excellent.

Paint your car bright pink of you want to start looking rice.

Leave your car alone!! Although those rims on the other 350z are really hot!

I hate mesh on anything!!! Try photoshopping it with your current car to see how it looks! Do-luck usually have clean looking body kits, but the mesh on this one completely turned me off! Just my opinion!

^ werd. I'll probably not do the do-luck, it just doesnt flow with the rest of the car. Working with someone on rendering a custom kit. Hopefully a prototype or sketch will be out soon.
