just them bumper, or do you have skirts and rear bumper to support the after market front one?

me personally, not a fan of something flashy up front and then factory skirts. of the ones you listed, i like the second one most, think the last you could pull off better without anything else

Just to clarify here...

The first 2 pictures you have listed are of the nismo v3 bumper. However, only the 1st picture is a nismo v3 bumper. The second picture is actually the Astek bumper made by VIS. They are similar but the Astek doesn't have the nissan badge and no side reflectors.

With that said, my favorite is the Astek bumper

I prefer the OEM Nismo V3, or V2. The others look too heavy and blocky to suit the lines of the car.

Agreed.

I'd go with #2 if you plan on skirts, too.

If you're just doing a bumper, I would do the Nismo V2 or V3.

I've seen more than a few Z's with just the Nismo V2, and it's a nice, clean look. I think the V3 needs a bit more to balance the look, though.
