Unhappy Hit some lawn chairs last night...

So, I was driving to the beach last night and there were 5-6 metal lawn chairs scattered across the 2 lane highway that had fallen off a truck. There was a guard rail to my left and another car to my right, I swerved as much as I could to avoid hitting the chairs dead on... I ended up clipping one on my drivers side and hitting one on my pass. side. The damage: punched two holes into the pass. side of the bumper, scuffed the drivers side, and scraped my front pass. rim...

Im pretty pissed, but... It'll get fixed. Now Im faced with the tough decision on which front bumper I want to buy. The car is a 2003 6mt Brickyard Z ~40k miles, bought it about three months ago. Im thinking of keeping it simple and getting a nismo V1.. but Ive only begun looking. Any suggestions on a new front is appreciated.

Mike

But on a real note, the Nismo V1 is a really nice bumper. And it's do-able with leaving the rest of the car bone stock.

the damage isnt that bad actually, there are two holes punched perfectly into the bumper. one at the bottom side near the side marker, and one towards the center just beneath the hood. Im surprised nothing else was damaged (hood, headlights, fender).

The Do Luck is sweet but I would have to get the sides/rear to make it look complete. Im really just trying to just get a front and call it a day.

LOL!

I'd say the Aerosync because its a whole bumper replacement and I think it's made of urethane... which is a little more resilient than fiberglass. That'll make those lawnchairs think twice before running in front of you again!

Go with a Nismo V1. Stay away from fiberglass though.

I like the looks of the Aerosync also because it looks like a nismo v1 and removes the emblem
