Default Got vandalized by Lacquer thinner :/ - need opinions on new bumper

My 04 350z was recently vandalized at my jobs parking lot with lacquer thinner and theirs a big dent in my passenger side door and front bumper. Im assuming from a hammer. The clearcoat and paint is bubbling on the whole car..

Pretty much the car needs a paint job and new front bumper and a body shop will have to sort out the door.

I already have a seibon carbon fiber hood so Im looking for a new front bumper.

I was wondering if their is any difference between these two front bumpers? They look the same but are labeled as 1-2

I think because theyre different brands the rear and side skirts are different? But the front bumpers are the same style? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

No offense but who did you **** off?

This screams pre-meditation.. Unless a construction worker was having an exceptionally bad day and your car was in the proximity of his random rage.

Did you check the price on the 2nd link? Authentic INGs isn't cheap, AIT is the rep.

AIT bumpers are practically made of bondo. Heavy and nearly a 1/4 inch thick of "composite" material.

Must of been a couple really Jealous contractors that have crappy lives and have to work so hard for so little and cant stand other peoples nice things.. Lol I wasn't the only one to get screwed but we didn't do anything never met them.

They got caught on a security cam but they never returned. Plates weren't recorded. :/

Thank you mate. I'll have to go with the ING then if the AIT will break easily. Its only a couple hundred bucks more.

Are you sure it wasn't aircraft remover etc? I've never seen lacquer thinner bubble paint. If it was aircraft remover it needs washed with water to deactivate it. Or it'll screw up the panel.
