What front is best?

Endless619 · 10-18-2012, 08:56 PM

I am switching to the Amuse Ericcson full front bumper and protoblue Volk TE37s. Done and done.

For your car something subtle. The Challenge front lip or Akrym or GTS5?

Rob@StrasseWheels · 10-18-2012, 09:52 PM

I'm in love with the Challenge front.

datbimmerdoe · 10-18-2012, 10:04 PM

can any1 explain how a gts5 bumper is better than vertice?

atleast the vertice has an oem-esque design (like gts3) compared 2 gts5 which doesn't n completely ruins the front.
i mean look @ it, absolutely grotesque

regardin 1m, i jus don't think a 1er bumper belongs on a 3er, simple as that

All those bumper ruins some lines and your car is so clean already, just stick with GTS-V or get the vorsteiner GTS3 bumper but mod it to fit the GTS-V lip or challenge lip.

Its simple, its exclusive, its unique and creative. And I don't think anyones done it before.

GTS3 + GTS-V Hmmmm very interesting. Anyone care to try a pshop?

skiborsy · 10-19-2012, 02:05 AM

Not one of the things you listed, but the RD Sport Stradale looks pretty good to me. From the IND thread:

hmm can we expand the poll list... CRT, GTS or GT4 gets my vote

tma1c · 10-19-2012, 10:24 AM

If i have time later i can post a pic of my car with gtsv lip and 1m conversion next to each other. The gts5 fish gill openings seemed to be over kill for me.

Its nice, but it kinda has that new Lexus front bumper thing going on that looks like: > < the lines from the bottom inner corners of the headlights

kchu221 · 10-19-2012, 10:58 AM

full bumper : amuse or vertice

lip : Varis or 3D design

Jbook · 10-19-2012, 12:11 PM

I think the Vorsteiner GTS3 is the best looking bumper/lip combo. GTS5, Vertice, and the RD Sport are hideous IMO

I dunno if that's a "but" or not. That barbell (I think that's what they call it) is the new thing. That said, I don't care for that bumper. OEM with a nice lip is best.

PYSpeed.com · 10-19-2012, 04:45 PM

Not on the poll choice.... but it's a good clean choice IMO.

Just not a fan of Arkym

BLACK OPS · 10-20-2012, 07:29 AM

Having a jet black which hides many details I'm looking forward to my IND painted gts-5 bumper. I also like the gts-3 and RD sport corsa but i've heard there are some fitment issues with the RD. We all have opinions and I happen to think the 1M conversion doesn't go well.

onnex · 10-20-2012, 11:50 AM

arkym looks nice, I'm just not a fan of the entirely flat bottom– looks strange to me. I'm bias to amuse, but at this point it's not all that unique. 1M conversion gets my vote from that list.

Moxie · 10-20-2012, 07:31 PM

IMO, Euro bumper & lip

Its only appropriate for YOU to get the 1M front.
