Front End and Side Skirt repair question
Hi all,
A little backstory...this morning, a truck ran over a fairly large piece of wood in front of me on the freeway and I ended up hitting it. This banged up my front bumper and really damaged my passenger side skirt. The bumper is still attached and secure, but is cracked and scratched in multiple spots. The side skirt got pulled back and was bent in half, still partially mounted to the car, but was dragged along the freeway until I could exit. I managed to pull it out from under the car and pushed it back into place as best I could without tools. I don't think it will drag on my way home, but it will definitely need to be replaced.
My question is.....
If you had the opportunity to get a new front bumper and side skirts, what would you go with? Try to make it realistic and fairly equivalent to getting OEM replacements (example: I won't spend $2000 for a front bumper). My car is lowered on Tein coilovers, but otherwise stock appearance-wise (stock front/sides/rear, stock wheels, OEM lip spoiler, rear mud guards).
I'm ok with staying stock, but I figured I would ask for some ideas since I have to replace the bumper and side skirts anyways. I was thinking Nismo V2 front and sides...thought/suggestions?

Maybe in your part of the country, but here in the Denver metro and Colorado Front Range area, there have been only a few NISMO V2 kits over the past 13 years. For Z33s, I've actually seen more VS V3 anteater kits (some well done, others not so much) on display...
