Best Front Bumper for a Black TT ? Vote !!

The problem with black is that you can't make out detail as well as in other cars, so some kits have different affects on the car. Whats the general consensus on here as to what the best looking front bumper is for a Black TT ?

I'm stuck between the OEM GT2 bumper and the Techart bumpers (FSII vs. FSIIGT)


P.S. Some pics would definitley help make this decision easier....

If you are going to keep your sideskirts stock, get the GT2 front!

Side skirts are staying stock. Only doing front bumper & wing.

Possibly side intakes depending on what front bumper I do...

I vote GT2 by a large margin. FSII is horrible compared to FSIIGT in my opinion.

I'm in the same boat you are, but I am really starting to lean towards the GT2 front end. I didn't realize the GT2 front end was such a popular mod (according to this thread), especially over the TAII.

I was really surprised to see so many votes for the GT2 bumper, but after seeing these pics I can understand why. Isn't it kind of posing tho to put a GT2 kit on my turbo when it isnt a GT2. reminds me the 3 series guys on E46fanatics who put //M bumpers and badges on their non M cars lol. The GT2 bumper looks damn good tho and not as exaggerated and gaping as the Techart bumpers...

Gemballa is the most exotic (my choice).

Techart is the most aggressive.

The GT2 just looks too close to the standard Turbo bumper to pay $3k or whatever to replace and paint....just don't see the point.

My vote goes to the GT2. The techart one looks like a huge mouth to me.
