Recently, my car was hit lightly by my neighbors. Front and rear bumpers now have light scratches.

pics before the incidents:





Now, I'm thinking of the following:

1. keep the nismo v2 front and add a rear chargespeed.
2. get the SL2 front + chargespeed.
3. get what I have repainted.

What would you recommend?

Hopefully the tail lights got ruined in the accident.

Well it's just my opinion but i think the Nismo V3 front bumper is great but without the hood with the "bump" it looks a little bit wrong. Your kit is nice but the back bumper could use some help. Maybe painting the lower part black? But then again might as well get Chargespeed back so i vote Keep Nismo V2 front and Chargespeed back (with carbon fiber rear diffuser if possible!)

I say keep what you have. Change your lights back to stock and change out your headlight to 06+. Also maybe fill in the back bumper outlet where you have no exhaust coming out.

thanks for the comments guys. I already purchase the 06+ headlights a couple of weeks ago. I haven't had enough time to install them. In terms of the tail lights, I've been lazy to get a replacement :P

I like both fronts, but just hate the chargespeed rear. Actually i only hate the outer vents on that bumper, reminds me of APC parts.

the SL2 has grown on me so i voted for it.
blitz spoiler, stock taillights and 06 headlights and think you'd be good.
