    Straight Answer required - Bomex Bumper

    Ok guys I asked on CR and tbh the answer confused me a little bit more.. I really would like a straight forward answer if possible (I dont mean that in a cocky way lol)

    My girlfriend has an NB Facelift.

    She wants the Bomex bumper.

    I cannot find one for sale for the facelift, only the pre-facelift.

    Will this fit her car ok?

    Thank you for the replies ahead of time.

    I know you can do it for sure if you swap the 99-00 headlights. I'm pretty sure you can trim the bumper to accomodate the 01+ headlights as well.

    you might have to swap the lights depending on your year, and if you want a dead on fitment (as-in bolt on no issues) then buy a REAL Bomex and not the .99 cent fake stuff on Fleabay. Its more expensive to buy the real deal but its much less hassle and quality of the FRP is amazing.

    Man, you've been trying to figure this out forever...

    I suggest you buy the bumper and have a quality shop fit it for you. It's fiberglass so it can be made to fit either headlight and the fitment will depend on the person doing the fitting. This is mine with a cheap & quick fitment job:

    Are there side skirts that line up with the bottom of the bomex front?

    Nevermind. I just saw the side skirts that go with it. For whatever reason, the picture that Bomex has on it's website doesn't really do the bumper any justice judging from your guys' pictures.

    That's much cheaper than i was anticipating...

    Of course i guess i'm comparing it to a legit Garage Vary...
