I have a Brickyard Red 2003 350z stick (40k miles). I got rear-ended less than a month after buying it and don't want to mess with paying thousands for repairs so soon. It left a big dent in the bumper, but all rear lights (including license plate) still work fine. What type of rear bumper kit should I get to replace it? I was looking at the VIS AMS GT Rear Bumper, but I'm not sure how to tell if it covers up the stock bumper or actually replaces it. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Also I was looking at staggered wheels and am stuck between 18x9's or 18x10.5's for the rear wheels. Thoughts? Thanks guys

 

If you got rear ended, why does the cost of replacement matter? Other person not have insurance?

 

The bumper would be a replacement, as for the wheels thats an opinion, I like wide back tires

 

chargespeed makes a very cool rear bumper, its really popular so pictures will be easy to find.. as for the wheels if you want to go wide then do it. It's all about your goals. I just bought wheels 10.5 in back and 9.5 in front and I'll be running 295/35 in back just for reference. I believe that will fit based on things I have read on this forum haha. That is pretty much as wide as you can get inside the stock fenders I believe. Hope this helps

 

The car would look stupid with no other body kit components yet a really aggressive aftermarket rear bumper.

The ChargeSpeed bumper could work well, as well as any other rear end that doesn't have harsh body lines to throw the rest of the car off.

Might also was to check to see if your subframe was compromised at all in the accident as well
