Default Damaged Front Bumper, Need Help Identifying It

Alright guys I accidently drove my Z into a curb.... Im super pissed at myself cause it could have been avoided. Now the front body kit bumper of my Z is broke and looks like crap. I bought the car 9 months ago exactly how it was and I do not know what kind of bumper it is. If you guys know what the bumber is called please let me know because I want to have the same front bumper installed. Also how much will it end up costing to have the new bumper painted and installed. Any body know any good body work shops in las vegas, reliable, honest, good prices, that I can visit? heres pics from after this mornings incident....

And I would lose the headlight covers, makes the car look like a neon.

nismo v2 is my favorite on brickyard. I like the simple, clean look. needs new wheels. i dont know why those headlight things were ever made. You can probably get a replica from a vendor and have a good paintjob for something like 1000

I have the aerosync listed about. It takes such a beating because my z is lowered and it still is intact.

I would say aerosync, nismo V2 or oem 06-8 bumper with ings lip or veilside lip

I think I'd move on from that bumper.

It's awful. Go with an oem bumper with a lip as was stated earlier.

Remove those silly wheels and replace w/ oem v2 touring wheels.

that should only set you back a total of $3k or so. Good luck.

Order a V2 front bumper , remove the headlight covers, roll down to Paladin Advanced Auto. The have a great painter that will setup the new bumper properly.

The also specialize in Nissan, and support the local 350z group.

I trust you realize that you are talking about a bumper, not a bumber.

Quit asking what would be a good bumper - peruse the various pics of bodywork that are on this website and make a decision on what looks good to you. You have to live with it and its your money -as long as you like it, who cares what everybody else thinks. And for god sakes, stay away from curbs.........

Trash the bumper,start over.It looked like crap when it was in good shape...hate the cheap "screen"...the headlight eye lids.Did you buy the car like this?

Get classy in Vegas.Go a different route.
