blah i need advice!
Okay here's my situation - my rear bumper is toast, I need a new one. I just bought one on ebay, a used OEM one that has some scratches but is salvageable. I want to eventually do a body kit, but I never thought I'd want to replace the rear bumper, so thats why I bought the OEM one, but I just fell in love with the INGS kit. I have a few options now, I can get a full INGS fiberglass replica kit for 450 from a local shop, I can get the sides and rear in fiberglass from that shop and the front in poly for a total of 525, or I can just get the front in poly and sides in fiberglass for 375.
So here is the individual price breakdown :
Front (poly) - 225
Front (frp) - 150
Sides (frp) - 150
Rear (frp) - 150
OEM rear already paid for - 160
Now the problem here is my own impulsive stupidity - I should never have bought that OEM bumper. Do you think it would look excessively stupid if I just get the ings front in poly (my definate preference) and the sides in fiberglass and leave the rear stock? I have a cf nismo spoiler on the back, and it just doesnt look like it needs a new rear at this point, but I'm not sure.
My initial plan was to get a front lip, the one from IM that you can have painted for you, and GReddy side skirts, and leave the rear stock. But I've always thought the INGs kit was the hottest thing out there for the Z, and now I have the opportunity to get it cheap.
Your thoughts?

oh i know its one awesome deal, but keep in mind 2 things, 1) all parts are local pickup so no shipping, and 2) im not wondering so much about price as I am, wtf am I supposed to do with my OEM rear bumper that I bought if I buy the INGs, and if I don't buy the INGs rear bumper, will it look weird with just the front and sides?
P.S. your car is sexy
