Bumpers (Front Body Kit)

I have a 91 240sx hatch, and wanted to swap the front bumper only, cause I already have a wing and dont think that a full body kit is completely neccessary. I was wondering if anybody knows what front bumper looks best on the car without the side skirts and rear skirts. Also, which bumpers match the height of the car, and dont go below the sides? Thanks a lot.

get a front lip. any front bumper would look stupid without sides and rear, u just look like ure cheap :-)

PDMracing.com has one that is a copy of the bomex I think, it still doesn't line up, but at least it looks reasonable since its jus an add on to stock.

Swap the front out for the JDM S13 front. IMO this looks much better than the pop-up headlights. Otherwise I would just go with a lip kit, and in that case just get the lip kit for the entire car. It won't cost much and it'll make it look a little nicer.

idk exactly what he wants but I think the reason he doesn't want any sides or rear is because he can't afford them right now. If it isn't that then he is trying to build a sleeper car and make people believe he is a ricer..:-) jus jokin

yeah I agree the 91 fronts are nice, even the 89-90s have an appeal to them, its just how much they stick out that makes me sick....

don't buy a "conversion" kit. Like the ones that are fabricated by Importfan or something. Just find a place that sells the whole Japanese set with fenders hood lights and bumper right off a real S13. They are requently on eBay. Make sure you get the front bumper brackats that hold on the headlights.

Just wanted to let you know that I found a JDM S13 complete front end for $1000. Below is the picture and link to the site. It's called JDM Recycler. Hope this helps.
