Default Need to replace font bumper, your thoughts?

Hey guys, I have a 2007 silver 350Z and I am considering replacing the front bumper. There's some insignificant damage (small crease) on mine and 70K miles of rocks have really speckled the paint.

I'm not planning any other body modifications so the remainder of the car will stay stock. I'm looking for something... conservative, but also looks like it flows well with the rest of the lines of the car.

I was browsing this: http://www.bodykits.com/Nissan/350Z/.../Front-Bumper/

But wanted to hear opinions on what anyone here has gone with.

On a side note, what would you figure the cost for paint would be on something like this? Cheers!

considering everything else will be stock, I'd go with nismo v2 front without canards. a decent paint job will be $300-400.

That is one of the best looking options for your situation.

+ 1 million on aerosync or even the Shine Strosek copy. 2 iterations on the stock front bumper that look far better than stock.

Thanks for the suggestions. I love the look of the Aerosync. Not completely sure if the $900 investment would sit well with me afterwards tho.

Avoid Extreme dimensions at all cost.

I'd just replace it with another oem bumper... the 06+ front has always been a favorite of mine. Anything else is going to look a little odd with no other body mod's.
