    help /w front bumper!

    the front bumper is getting on my nerves.. i have the cyber kit front bumper which is on my sig.

    can anyone help me with finding a front bumper that isnt as low as that one?

    going back to stock is out of the question.... well at least i would like to keep it that way.


    please help!


    edit: hmm it must've been late at night when i posted this.. i dont see why i posted under 'showoff'

    go back to stock with a lip... lol otherwise you're pretty screwed - almost all the kit bumpers drop the same level in the front.

    even my TRD kit is getting scratched up pretty badly and it only drops the bumper height by around 2". the 8th gen rollas just sit really low to the ground stock, makes having a body kit difficult. now I have to watch out so I dont bottom out on speed bumps, curbs, driveways, steep roads, etc.

    spring spacers would defeat the purpose of you getting lowering springs in the first place....i would go back with a stock bumper and then add a front lip to it cuz from the looks of your sig you dont have the rest of the kit on anyway so it looks weird with such a low front bumper and then the rest of the car is high up.
