Repaint Stock Rear Bumper or Chargespeed Rear Bumper

What are your thoughts? Would you pay to get the entire stock rear bumper repainted or use the money to get the Chargespeed rear bumper? If you're wondering why I would repaint the entire stock rear bumper it's due to a douch bag who rear ended me in a left turn lane at a full stop. I got the car power polished a couple days ago and the detailer informed me the scratches on the rear bumper can't be polished out. It needs to be repainted and the detailer recommended the entire bumper.

So, what are you thoughts?

Does anyone know if the Chargespeed rear bumper is the exact same height as the stock rear bumper?

No idea on the rear bumper's specs, but you're going to be painting an entire bumper either way.

if you go with a new bumper it usually doesnt look right if you only have one

if ypu do end up getting a aftermarket rear bumper you still need to get it painted, so it depends on your funds i guess

but like the others said just adding a rear bumper on would look funny, just get the rear painted and add a front lip for now

the chargespeed bumper is basically the stock bumper, but it sits a little lower, has a built-in Nismo-esque diffuser, and molded splash guards...I think it would look fine with stock body...maybe better with an OEM lip

but, like other's have said, you'll have to purchase the bumper (it's still not being parted) and paint it...

Thanks for the info 617G. I was thinking of getting the Chargespeed rear bumper along with the replica Nismo front bumper.
