V3 Nismo front bumpers are a good choice but be advised... to do it right, its expensive. Look up Z1auto.. theyre good guys and I personally deal with Adam.

An 08 OEM Bumper is good in price and requires less things than the 08 Nismo does.

I would recommend against purchasing from sites that no one has used before more often then not the kits need alot of work in order to have them fit correctly. It will end up costing you more than if you just bought something from a trusted vendor.

If you're unsure what to get pickup a used bumper from your local subforum for the time being and attend some meets/do additional research to save yourself the headache.
