Accident! Which front bumper to buy??

I just got into a fender bender with my 2004 Twilight Blue G35, and wanted to get a different bumper instead of replacing it with a stock bumper. I wanted to know which bumpers are the same height as the OEM bumper as I will not be adding sideskirts or a rear kit. I was thinking of getting the K-1 bumper. Does anyone know if it's the same height as the original bumper?

Any other suggestions...

no aftermarket bumper is exactly the same as oem height... best bet is to get an oem bumper. What is a k-1 bumper? Is that a kenstyle replica?

ks front is ~2" lower than the stock bumper

it is a direct bolt on (provided that you buy one with good fitment - get it from klumzyee )

itll look jacked up if you dont have sideskirts that are low enough to match it

so if i get the front bumper and the sideskirts will it look okay without the rear bumper? i don't really like the kenstyle rear bumper because it looks a little to dramatic...or will it still look out of wack without the rear bumper?

or you could just get the front bumper and then put the splash guards on the side skirts and it will look fine

but are you really sure you want the kenstyle??
