Default Fixing the Z

to shorten a long story.....run over something--> lip is damaged

now i´m debating with myself how to fix the damage.

these are some pics of the car (with no damage):




and this is one of the options, how it´s going to be fixed:



so maybe you could give me some input on whether to go with the CHarge Speed front bumper or just fix the ING´S lip (which should be cheaper).
any thoughts are welcome.

ps:also want to add a CF hatch painted db and a spoiler lip for the trunk.oh.....and of course some Ganador rear mirrors...also in cf

i dont know how good the Charge Speed bumper is going to look with your hood. If you do decide to get it than get an OEM spoiler as well. If you go with the lip than pleease get rid of that hideous grill!!

I don't see why there's a question about what to do... unless you're like 70% of the rest of us and have no money.

If you have the $1200 for the bumper and the $300-400 to get it painted I say go chargespeed.
