should I go for this deal?

My friend is selling a brand new skyline front bumber. It's the older fiberglass one, with the mesh in it. I can have it for $325, painted and installed. I'll also be selling my stock bumber to his friend for $75. So it will cost me $250.


Anyone have pics of a ehite maxima with skyline front, and stillen sides/rear?

Just remember, when you touch a fiberglass bumper to the ground, they crack/shatter/splinter instead of flex. But if you're really careful, it's not a problem.

IMO, the lines of a body kit are expressed the best by white paint, i say go for it if you live in an area with very nice roads. if not, save up for the stillen kit

I already have the stillen kit.

This is my reasoning. My stock bumper got hit a little while ago, so it's kind of out of shape. relacing it would cost around $230. I ran over my lip a month ago, and repainting it would cost $75. Instead, I can buy the skyline bumper, and If I happen to **** it up too bad, I can always buy a new bumper and throw my lip back on, which I was planing on anyway. How easy is it to crack the thing? What if I happen to scrape in a driveway or something?
