Default New Front Bumper?

My replacement for the OEM bumper was a Nismo knock-off called a Spec N-2. Pretty much the same as the Nismo except I didn't have the canards on the side.
Well, now I'm online [same company] looking for that kit again and don't see it. I know ultimately it'll be my decision, just wondering if you guys could get a new front end which one/style you'd go with. Everyone agreed the one I had before looked pretty clean and matched the car well, but in the event I can't replace it I'm wondering if I should embrace my inner "Goofball" and do something totally different [i.e. be the 2nd guy in the Mid-A with foglights?] LOL!

What it looked like before minus the canards and supercool vinyl

I'd go with a 6 speed and a turbo. Just sayin =)

Do google images, type in 350Z front bumper and get the one that looks the best.

Goofs old setup was nice and clean Nothing wrong with it other then the auto tranny. but that wasn't fixed either when they redid his car =`(

I can't remember what Jeffie's car looks like and seeing as how they're aren't any photos of it anywhere in existence.....

I'll see how much my insurance gives me and decide after that.

I'm planning on putting fogs on mine too since my bumper already has the holes reserved for fogs.

But yea Clay please get something original!!!! I hate seeing 20 modded Z's that look the same.

do with something crazy, dont get something everyone else already has.

especially with a black car, you need some agressive lines for it to "pop"

How about pick up some beat up used bumper, do some custom molding work to it to make it one of a kind? (aka what I did to mine)

I might do something really stupid like put an old school Knight Rider light in the front and have it make that WHOO-WHOO noise.....
