Default Need an opinion-suzuka bumper

Hello everyone, I bought my silvertone 05 used about 3 months ago, love it. However, theres a pretty big ding on the bumper and I wanna replace the whole thing, but with a bang. I don't wanna spend too much money and found this:

http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/350z02c/50-1706

its pretty sweet looking but what do you guys think? Cheap? I think its unusally cheap for a bumper. Will I have fitment issues? I'm also really tight on money, how much will it cost to paint? Sorry for the noob status, new to the whole thing.

i think it looks pretty ugly.. to each his own.. it looks like fitment is a little off in the pic aswell so im guessing there may be some fitment issues

I bought zstore pieces and fitment was pretty good and very durable. Imo that particular bumper is dated. A lot of people were rocking the ings but now a days the only people that have them on their cars bought them sometime ago.

yeah..I'm debating if I should just get a front lip, or go all out with a whole new bumper. The thing is the ding and scratches would still be there if I just get the lip.

If its a choice between a lip and that I would strongly suggest a lip. That is hideous IMO.

If you are tight on money, buying a bumper and then paying to have it mounted and painted is not the best option. You didn't show any pics of your car so we don't know how big the "ding" is. Save your money until it isn't as tight and then do something. It may be best to just have your own bumper repaired or find a bumper from a part out.

painting isn't cheap. you could spend a few hundred or more just getting a bumper sprayed. if you intend to do sides/rears/spoiler etc, this is something that is easier to do all in one swoop. you don't want a myriad of color mismatching on your Z.

keep saving, keep shopping.

As previously stated the fitment is baad in the example pic...
My front is alittle messed up to but really its just going to get beat up by rocks and road debrise. Im a perfectionist and still wouldnt bother.

Go buy a cold air and remove your hood so everyone can see it. That will make you the hotest on the block for sure.

Bumper looks great but the fitment looks a little off.
