Default Painted front bumper

Hi, I've been browsing options for a new front bumper for my 2006 350z. The OEM one I have now is a little beat up, and I'don't rather just replace it then try to have it fixed.

I don't really have a preference on the style of the bumper, I just want to find the best deal. I do really like the look of the nismo v3 bumper however. So just out of curiosity, what would you guys say is the best replica in terms of quality and how much does it cost on average to have a body shop paint match it. I know it varies shop to shop so I just want a ballpark estimate.

Anyways the real reason for this thread is to help me (and possibly others) find somewhere that has the best deals on pre painted bumpers, OEM or aftermarket. If this has been covered before, I apologize. I searched and found some valuable information, but not quite everything I was looking for.

If you could please post:
Bumper type and brand:
Pre-painted or taken to bodyshop to paint:
Total cost:

Curious to see what people are rockin on their Z's to maybe help make my decision a little easier

most places will not sell new pre-painted bumpers. Paint can get damaged in transit, and even if the paint makes it there perfectly it may not match your car due to the age differences in paint.

Get a urethane bumper unless you have experience with fiberglass and can prep it yourself for paint. Get it painted locally. Price unknown. end/thread

I can tell you that I paid 1276 for a new OEM bumper painted. The bumper itself was 413. The paint material cost was higher due to color(Interlagos Fire).
