New Front bumper, interest!
Ok Guys I am thinking about getting a new front bumper made for the 5th gen that I think you all will like. No I will not show any preliminary pictures untill this thing is close to production, so please don't ask! My question is if its a really nice bumper, would you spend the 150. more that it will more than likely cost for a eurethane bumper rather than a fiberglass bumper. If I were to make it in Fiberglass the price would be around 350 per bumper, however the eurethane model would be closer to 499. This would be a full bumper replacement, not a lip.

I would have to see final production as well...

I would be interested as long as it was a one piece bumper that still alowed me to use all stock lights and had a lip like a maxx tuning or $tillen lip. I might consider one that allowed me to use some brake cooling ducts. I think the word is **subtle**! I'm not trying to get my Maxima to look like a totally different car. BTW, it shouldn't cost too much more than a stock Nissan bumper plus a little more for the lip...

Sure, but with a few caveats:
1. has to be subtle...not a cheesy Stillen touring lip or anything like that. Make it look like it "could" have come on the car from the factory.
2. has to fit the OEM fog lights...none of these huge-*** openings for Impreza fogs or square fogs.
3. no billet or chrome grills....grill low-key and with a mesh BACKING, not facing....
4. obviously, quality quality quality fit fit fit....

What do you consider a "really nice bumper?" A lot of ricers here think their cars are "nice." It will be extremely difficult to produce something classy, that suits a majorities liking.
I would consider it, but without any images or ideas yet to visualize, it's hard to say. Will you keep stock fogs and sidemarkers? It shouldn't be lower than a 2k2 bumper with Stillen classic lip. Will it have adequate, yet subtle, cooling openings?

Yeah, 4Gs have PLENTY of options for everyones tastes.
Problem with 5th geners is that our tastes vary too much and manufactures that try to accomodate all of them end up making the FUGLY crap that's currently out.
