Hey, someone just rear ended my Z and it needs a new rear bumper. I was wondering what you guys though about maybe an aftermarket bumper? I dont have any side skirts or anything, do any of them look good without the other pieces? Also, if anyone has a OEM Silverstone bumper let me know. Any suggestions would help. The dude is paying cash so I can pretty much do whatever I want. thanks in advance.

 

anybody?!?

 

so hard to tell you what to do without seeing any pictures of your car.

 

that is a good point. I will throw up some pics.

I have an alarm so when i herd it go off I went outside and looked to see why, the dudes were trying to creep off without sayin anything. Without it, they prolly would of left since just the hitch went through it. Let me know what you guys think.

 

holy crap that would have pissed me off to see them trying to creep off. I think you should just replace the oem bumper and transfer your nismo rears. they are subtle, and go well for not having a kit on the car. Most other rears you're going to look at will look odd, not paired up with a front or sides.

 

yea thats what I was thinking. I thought maybe there was a aftermarket bumper that wasn't too aggressive that would look good. If I can get a good settlement from the claim I may get a front lip as well, do you think that would help with the bumper?

 

I was wondering if all the bumpers are universal? Will an 04-07 fit on an 03? thanks

 

Yes, all the rears are the same.

 

thanks. I was wondering about paint, if I buy one painted but a wrong color do they have to strip the paint off before they repaint it or can they just paint over it?

 

Also, the guy at the body-shop said that it is possible to patch the bumper. Based on my pics, do you guys think it is possible? Has anyone had theirs 'patched'?
