need some input about front bumpers

i cant decide if i want to do a nose chop on a 8 bumper, or just buy a 9 bumper and take out the middle emblem. as of right now i have a c-west front and i love it, but the built in lip makes the front lower then the rest of the car. so i was just wondering what you guys think, so let me know. thanks for your time

IMO i would get an 8 bumper and do the nose chop. Might end up costing a little more but its unique and not as many people have it. But then again Ive never been a fan of the 9 bumper.

Agree with the above. I personally like the floating emblem look of the 9 but hate the two ic piping holes, and I love the ducts on the 8. I photoshopped some pics of my car and chopped the nose and it convinced me to do it when I get the car repainted.

8 bumper with the nose chop! I traded my 9 bumper for the 8 bumper. I got a do luck carbon lip on it and plan to do a nose chop in the future. I have thought of maybe going back to a 9 bumper now again though lol. They are so damn hard to find and they are pricey!
