Hey guys, my girlfriend was driving the 97 ES300 friday afternoon and it was pretty slippery here in Indiana that day. She ended up sliding very slowly into a tree, and messed up the front bumper and the hood. She is ok and the wreck could have been a lot worse than it was. But now down to fixing it back up.

I am looking to get an upgraded front bumper instead of replacing it with the stock bumper again. Not really sure what there is to chooise from. It is my girlfriends car, so I am not looking for anything flashy. Looking for something classy and subtle, maybe even the bumper that comes on the 01 (i think). Please, just looking for some opinions on what bumper to go with. I'm open to taka looksy at anything. Thanks guys.

Go with the bumper from a '00-'01 ES. You won't be disappointed.

On a side note, nice to see you have a modded G35 coupe. Any stand out mods you got? Are you on the G35Driver forum? I have the sedan and so far I just have 19's, a drop, sway bars and a grounding kit.

01' bumper ftw

Is the 00-01 bumper a perfect fit? That is prolly the one we will go with.

Yeah, I LOVE my G35. I have a Nismo front bumper and Kenstyle sides. Droped with Tein coilovers on Volk GT-7s. Gotta have the sways (huge help), HKS Hi power exhaust, motordyne engineering 1/2in plenum spacer, and I think thats it, other than all the small stuff like clear corners...

Gotta have love for that VQ35 motor!!!

Get the 01 bumper and use whatever left over insurance $ left to buy the tails too.Looks 100x better

It should fit without a problem

The '01 it is. Is there a place I should buy it from? Or should I just tell the bodyshop that I want the '01 bumper?

http://www.l-tunedparts.com/index.php this site has a few choices but they are kinda flashy and a little ugly i think. i agree with lexusk, go wit the 00-01. and lemme know how it turns out, i might be doing the same thing if urs turns out lookin alright

Limen

Is there a place on the net where I can buy an '01 bumper somewhat cheep? Cheeper than the body shop I hope.
