Help me fix my G damaged after 5 days

Okay, five days after I got my G, something came flying down the road on the highway. It hit my front lip. It dinged it pretty bad. It also destroyed that black plastic spoiler, and it looks like the engine cover has to go too. To fix it entirely would be $1000. Unfortunately, that is my deductible. So, I thought to myself, how can I make myself feel good about this. Then two words came to mind: BODY KIT! A lip spoiler should cover the damage in the front to the bumper. It would also mean I wouldn't need that cheap black plastic spoiler, and the engine cover is cheap enough.

The next day, it became even more apparent that I think I should get a body kit. As I was driving around to local "Pimp My Ride" shops, some piece of metal that blended in with the street went under my tire, and flew up and cracked the bottom of the right side skirt. This could probably be fixed, but I don't want it going bad 6 months later.

I believe my solution is the Nismo front lip spoiler, Nismo side skirts (I believe these replace the current side skirts, pleas tell me if I am wrong), and the Nismo rear wings. I don't think I want the diffuser.

So I have some questions. How do you think that would work for my G? Do you think that the Nismo kit would look alright without the diffuser? I'm thinking it would be sweet if the Nismo parts were painted flat black (my G is Twilight Blue). Your thoughts on that? Anyone know where to get this stuff other than Japanparts.com? Also, if anyone would like to photochop thes onto a Twilight Blue G in a flat black color, it would be greatly appreciated.

P.S., If any of you are in the Lancaster, PA area, I'd love to get together. Also, in late September I'll be living in Philly to go to Drexel.

Re: Help me fix my G damaged after 5 days

You have any pictures? I want to know how one piece of debris damaged your front lip and then continued on to your engine cover.
