The one above is just a stock bumper with topsecret mud guards. I wanna get these too, but 345 + ship is a bit high for unpainted mudguards

They are the same bumpers, only the top one has TS mug guards and the bottom one has the rear bumper "rolled". Basically the bottom middle portion of the bumper it bent (or in some cases cut).

P.S. = Not trying to be a hater but that emblem and license plate frame on the bottom Z are very , IMO of course. Is THAT the exact Z you're looking at buying?

just throw a single exhaust on that car and you'll love how the rear bumper looks .. and take off the stupid mud flaps

Yeah a lot of people prefer that look of the rear bumper tuck. I think it can look great with a quality exhaust like HKS, but I'm N/A for now and don't care to have any added attention brought to my car if it's not making considerable power so no point in doing this mod for me.

If it's already like that I would just leave it, there is a good chance the paint will not look right where it was bent, or there is even a chance they cut it (can't tell from the pic). Either way you're on track, I think even just taking off the badge and license plate frame would make it look respectable, right now it looks like a Toys-R-Us Z.

Now go buy a Z already!

I think he was referring to how the passenger side exhaust tip hangs lower then the driver's side.

first things first i plan on taking off the CF nismo spoiler, z badge, smoked tails, license plate thingy, and the stillen series II hood it comes with, and swapping them out with a blitz spoiler, with either stock or oem jdm tails like the first picture, then maybe with the money i get from that stuff buy the oem front brembos, plenum, or front lip...so if anyone wants to buy/trade my SC hood, ppw cf nismo spoiler, or smoked tails talk to me

they are as answered the top secret rears and yes to some theyre a bit pricey but honestly you gotta pay for what you want so go for it they'll go right onto your stock rear bumper
