Default front bumper opinions

normally don't ask for opinions, but i am kinda stuck.
hit an animal at a high rate of speed and it pretty much evaporated my current set up. not looking for opinions on what you would run on your own car, but what would look good on THIS car. i do not like to look like everyone else, so anything from mild to wild will be considered.
if you have something different and can post a pic, it would be appreciated.

the first one has me interested. i like the stretched out look of it. filling in or covering the side openings i think would give it a stretched V2 look and definately be different. second one would need some work to tone it down. thanks for opinions and options offered up.

pics of car and previous set up. it is slammed, so any thing new i do will need to be heavily reinforced. my set up was, but at 130mph, it didn't matter much, lol.

well, i can also get the stillen series 2 with the front splitter for $670 shipped!! stillen is having a smoking free shipping thing going right now, so it is authentic and urethane also. instead of me making another front splitter and having to finish a fiberglass bumper, i can save prolly 8+ hours to just go stillen.
since i am gunna have to bust out my spray gun either way, i may paint over the flames, match the outer wheel barrels body color, do the roof in black and the vents in the hood black.
*****! here we go again!!!

My vote goes to the first one. Second one just doesn't flow right w/ the Z's body lines. It reminds me of those ugly crazy 'bomex' kit for the Mitsubishi Eclipses

I remember blowing out my GReddy lip on the interstate...it was in about a million pieces. Feels really good doesn't it? Just brightens your day!!

good luck with your new set up!

line it out with tape, then use a cut off wheel in an angle grinder, then file it perfect. if ya have a steady hand though you can get the lines nearly perfect with the cut off wheel.

Vertex is nice and clean... BUT... Very common.
