Default Options for aftermarket front ends?

I saw some of you guys have the Seibon carbon fibre fenders and think I might get those if they're still made, but figured i'd ask you guys if there were other choices out there? The contrast looks amazing. Do we have any options for front bumpers? Thanks

i'm on the fence on that aimgain front.. not ugly but looks like a "wannabe 3rd gen".. i say get a good lip or splitter or get the wald if you have the budget.. i really like those big air ducts that we have.. very intimidating front when you see it on your rear view mirror..

IMO, WALD is a great choice. Aggressive, keeps with the lines of the F, and a very well-known reputable company that will be an exact fit. That being said, I'd mold the front. To have it blended into the OEM F bumper gives it a cleaner look and makes it less busy.

I was strongly considering Aimgain since it's a newer styling. What threw me off was how it really looked like a semi 3rd gen IS bumper. Not taking anything away from the 3rd gen, but I hated when the 2nd gen copied the IS F's front and rear bumpers and aftermarket parts and replicas were created to fit that look. I didn't want my F looking like it was trying to copy the newer Spindle Grille look as a result. Different strokes for different folks. I remember when my friend Mk4Sup_isF got his Aimgain on his F, and it looked stunning. It just wasn't for me, though I really tried to convince myself a full bumper would be the way to go.

In the end, there aren't too many full bumper replacements. Lips- there are still a fair amount of offerings, but not so much with an entire bumper.

Some offerings that I've been able to photograph:


Aimgain International



WALD International



AutoCouture front lip



TOM's Racing



C-WEST USA
