Default which front bmper is this?

can someone please identify which front bumper this is for me. i am trying to put together a body kit for my car. i love the WIN body kit with the exception of the huge gap in the front bumper( i absolutely hate front bumpers like thw WIN, EXplosion which have the huge space/gap in front). so am thinking maybe i can get the sides and rear and just put it in with this front bumper.
thanks


Or what do you think about WIN sides and rear with a TTE lip in front?

IMHO,its not going to flow, styles are too different. the WIN kit is just too aggressive for the TTE which is subtle...not a big fan of the WIN kit..I have the explosion and I dont think the front is too big at all or too aggresseive, just the right amount of aggression to get you noticed, but thats just my 2 cents....

Definately L-Sportline. One of the best in fitment and material made(Polyurethane).

I think the Win kit should be called the Lose kit instead.

I have to agree with the others. I wouldn't do win sides with l-sportline front. The sides will hang much lower than the front bumper. The original win kit is a very very low hanging kit.

Looks like L-sportline but the lip seems a little far out than normal...maybe not or maybe someone molded a TTE lip on the L-sportline bumper??? In any event it's a nice looking bumper fo sho.

I have read about some CL members that have been able to "find" L-Sportline parts but might be missing one item like the front bumper or the rear bumper where in this instance they would simply try to find a "good" knock-off just for that one part.

okay,
thanks for your input. the explosion is too aggressive for me.
and the L-sportsline is just as good as adding a TTE front lip in my opinion cos to me its not even noticeable that there is a body kit on.
which kit do you have on bluelex? i like it.

It kind of looks like the Tom's Racing front bumper but with a big lip. But it's definitely the L-sportline.

He has the WISE front IMHO to have the WISE or WIN or anything with a large front opening you need to have a FMIC to fill it up
