Default Front/rear bumper options

What are the front or rear bumper options? Anything out there that looks like the 4-5th gens? Anything that doesn't make the car look as much of a bubblebutt and more chopped like the 4-5th gens?

I don't think I've seen any besides one of the Japanese kits.

Something that looks like this: http://kyoei-usa.com/blog/wp-content...s-vip-gt-9.jpg

(I haven't kept up much on my 3GS since my CarsonTuned kit).

Other than that I don't think there's any way to unbubble our car because the top half would look bubbly and the bottom half would look chopped up.

The 4GS has a completely different body style on it and I'm sure it'd take a lot to look like that.

I think there was was another build that had the 4GS bumper by MrMark but I don't have the patience to look for it at this time. Similar to xxGoKouxx, i haven't kept up much with the 3GS. This is a "bubbly" shaped car..no way around it. It looks nice to keep the lines.
I think getting a lip kit and calling it good is sufficient. I have a lip kit for sale that would cost half of what the front bumper would probably cost.

Here's one that I came across, don't like anything on it except the trunk lip. I'll get some info on it but not anytime soon. Maybe when my bonus check comes in around September I'll phone in and buy the trunk lip.
