if it was me and i had to replace the entire front bumper i would just go ahead and the body kit cause i would still have to include oem bumper to even get the gt lip kit...
its just my opinion...but regardless you are going to do what is best for you...
I just hope that you get rid of the stripe wink1.gif

bonus about getting the lip is it fits pretty damn perfect, and the OEM bumper fits PERFECT.. there are no 'cheap' body kit bumpers that fit anywhere CLOSE to the OEM bumper.
the only ones that are GREAT fitment is the REAL veilside, Ixion, and REAL cuda.
the knockoff kits fit pretty good, but not great, and would take a good amount of work to be show worthy. even my cuda II bumper had its little issues that you could see up close.

wow, alot has been said in 1 day, personally I think you should go with what you feel comfortable with, as we have seen already, you never go with what others think unless you think its a good idea (ex. the stripe), it all pretty much comes down to 1)cost 2) what YOU think looks best, obviously you have a different style then most people on the site which is good, its what makes your car unique, so I think that if you want the cuda go with the cuda, unless you think that the lip would be better. Just my opinion guys

Ok, I've got a new front bumper on order
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...N:IT&ih=010
I've got a lip kit on order
http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtop...view=getnewpost
I ordered KDM side skirts from Jay at SFR (yeah, I know, I hope I see them)
Just for good measure I purchased this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...N:IT&ih=024
and this
http://kia-fx.netfirms.com/estore/nfoscomm...products_id=385
I'm still deciding on the hood.

Yeah, I was looking at that. I use a 4 point lift quite a bit and I don't want to lower the jacking points. The lifts I use go straight out and then just lift the car from there. I don't want to decrease functionality.
Alot really has been said in this thread. I appreciate it guys. You're going to see something done to KDM skirts that's never been done before. They'll match the GT lip when I'm done.

Lol, when my old sentra got backed into and that piece was bent, my solution was to pull the headlights, wrap a rope between the support and a tree, and back her up until things were lined up straight again. smile.gif I always work on a budget though. laugh.gif
