Default Help with finding a NISMO-Style Exterior Kit

Hey so I recent drilled a truck tire on the freeway. It destroyed my front bumper and one side skirt. Anyways insurance just threw me a check for about $1400. And as much as I love the original OEM styling, I'm looking for a body kit. Im leaning towards the Nismo style N-2 with no canards. It seems that there are many companies that make this style, and I'm looking for some help on deciding which one would be best for me. help out if you can. Keep in mind this is my everyday car during the summer and I live in MN, ( so ride height, and how durable it is may be an issue). Perfect fit, (while I know "PERFECT" maybe impossible). but I cant have large gaps or uneven lines on this car.

There is a polyurethane Nismo V2 on the marketplace

Stay away from fiberglass front bumpers
Polyurehane is the way to go. It's more expensive, but will last longer.

If you're going Nismo get the V3 at least. Like Weezzel said, Nismo has become over saturated. Shine makes great fitting V2 sides.

Any of the Polyurethane versions in our marketplace are a great option:

OP you should also be factoring in the cost of paint before you decide to purchase an entire kit. I would suggest first getting estimates for paint from a local bodyshop and then purchasing your exterior kit afterwards.

Like mentioned above, there are some great vendors who offer polyurethane Nismo kits and it's well worth spending the extra for those.
