An aftermarket bumper will run you around $600 and a nice hood about the same. With paint your looking at no more than $2k.
May I suggest an Amuse bumper with a Seibon Carbon Fiber hood???

Sorry to hear about your Brick. Brings a tear to my eye Years ago I had a 1994 300ZX TT that was in showroom condition. Well I left it in my parent's driveway one time when I was visiting and my father backed into it one morning with his F250. Luckily it had a tow hitch so that was the first thing to hit, then he stopped, and it only left a scuff mark and small dent. But on that car it was like the end of the world for me! So from one Brick owner to another, I feel your pain.


If you're not looking for anything too crazy but want a bit of a different look, consider an OEM 06+ bumper. I just gave my Nissan dealer the vin number off my buddy's 2008 Z so they could find the part number easier for the bumper and grille pieces. They also changed out the fender liners with 08 ones since there is a little gap at the bottom if you use the old ones. Its not necessary but I'm a bit ****. Here's a pic of mine:

what, those magical sensors and backup cameras didn't work? i'm so surprised being that it's a quality american pos. She probably should have just checked behind her car like a normal person would.

I would smack her just for principal of being stupid.
