Default Stock Z with nismo v3 bumper, good or no?

hey guys, new to the form. I have had my z for a while now.
I have a magnetic black z completely stock. Recently, I got into an accident and in need of a new bumper.
Since now I have a change to replace my bumper, I am thinking of getting an aftermarket front.
I have been looking around and found a company named Strafe here on this forum selling a Nismo v3 cheaper than other places.
So my question to you experts is, would a stock z with nismo v3 front look unbalanced? I have no intention of replacing any other part of my z.
If this would look unbalanced, which aftermarket front do you recommend?

Thank you for taking time to read this.

yes get a stock front with a lip... any aftermarket bumper will look unbalanced if you don't finish off the entire kit...

aerosync or nismo v2
v3 would need more imo to balance it off.

actually the v2 might need some sideskirts as well to help it out as well

I see, I liked the angle the v3 creates with the hump on the hood.
I thought about getting just a lip, but it is that "roundness" of the stock bumper that bothers me. (The bend under the nissan badge). Thanks for your quick replies, should have registered and asked you guys earlier.

yes it would look unbalanced. an aggressive bumper like that needs other pieces like it to compliment the look.

Given the fact you don't want to get anything more than the front, stock front bumper with a lip gets my vote.
