My 95 gsx has a stock front bumper, and I was looking at replacing it with one of the body kit bumpers, but I am noticing a great deal n price difference with them. Some of the bumpers are selling for as much as 200$ more then others being the same type. So my question is there anything I should be looking for once I have decided on a style? Do these kits come with everything I need to mount them? What’s been your experience with various venders?

 

My experiance with body kits in general is terrible.

Take it from me, and everyone else on here that has had a bodykit and hated it. They are ugly as sin too, why would you want one?

 

polyurtehan doesnt break as easy, fiberglass is pretty much ouch and ouch.... most of them is just the bumper and the body shop is gonna have to figure it out

 

get a 98-99 stock bumper. best looking and bolt right up. alot better the 95-97

 

Yes I agree ^^^ but you mean 97-99 are better looking then the 95-96.

 

yeah sorry i messed up those years. i always get confused about them.

 

yea polyurethane is made of a similar material to the stock so it wont break as easy due to it's flexibility... if you were to get a body kit i would get it in that material, even tho it'll cost more it'll save you money in the long run. trust me i had a fiberglass one and it kept breaking everytime i bottomed out

 

Posting issues Sorry;

I was trying to say, that I agreed with Seb on the look of most body Kits, But that My current front end is a 95 Bumper (the one that kind of looks like a smile), but I also current have the 96+ headlights (prior owner) and would like the 96+ bumper, I like the way it looks, and think it might provide more air flow. My question about the kits is what based on the price differences, which I have since found out that it's the composite used to make them ie Polyurethane, Carbon Fiber or Fiber Glass. as I understand it for structure Polyurethane is the way to go but it is heavy, the Fiber are lighter but have a better tendency to crack/break!



This is the front end I was thinking about, but after seeing more angles I'm really not sure, I don't think I like the sides of it

 

what??
