Default what front bumper should i get?

alot of people have the nismo v2, its awesome looking
but i always wanted the amuse too
both are nice to me. which one do you guys prefer among these three options

1.) shine amuse front bumper ( cheapest price/ hybrid frp)
2.) shine nismo v2 bumper ( most expensive w/ canards and total end prce)
3.) Punksters nismo v2 (mid priced but still cheaper with canards than shines.)

i love option 1, the amuse, im struggling between shines hybrid frp which is what i want but costs more, or punkster which is just as good but plain frp and im worried i will break it. i work in dc where the potholes will eventually crack it.

your advise is needed

Shine makes great replicas. If you're going to get a replica, go with them.

Amuse has been growing on me for awhile. That's what I would get personally.

2006350zsa:

they are lowered on stance coilovers. it actually came out of the box much lower. i have no idea why. when i installed it, i couldnt turn my steering more than 20 degrees. it was rubbing on the front inner fender. it rubbed so much that it basically pulled my front fenders out and flared them for me. hahaha free fender roll!. hahah needless to say i had to raise it, i loved the sunken look, but i raised it just enough that i can turn. ive been running on this setting for a yr now.

lets just say i know where everysingle pothole is in the state of maryland , virginia and DC
