Get a intake with the filter under the hood and you do not have to choose either.

I guess I will never understand why people would go with a CAI that has more cons then pros. Plus I'm sure the cons out weighs the pros. I would stick with the stock box and probably go with a vented bumper. I guess it might be more of looks over practicality.

Not to leave on a negative note, but might as well get both since I am assuming you are still making payments on your Z.

I've read on CAI or intakes in general and it doesn't do much than a louder exhaust sound. Yes, there's possibly a pony gain or short, but a drop-in K&N filter would be just as good if not better. Your best bang for N/A setup would be spacers/Plenum.
