Tree Dented My Hood :( OEM or Bling?

Alright, so I just got my G outta the shop a few months ago, and everything was fine an dandy. Thanks to the recent wind we've been having, a tree branc fell on the front of my car. I have 3 dents/scrapes across my hood, and decent dent/scratch on my passenger side fender. I'll probably take this to insurance, but I'm trying to decide if I should go back to completely stock, or use this as an excuse to get some aftermarket parts.

It's on OB '07 coupe, stock appearance except for the drop, tint, FI exhaust, and clear corners. Will be getting the tail lights painted soon as well. Running on OEM 19's for now, but will hopefully be getting rims in the next couple months. Respond to the poll, or just post here with other ideas. Thanks!!!

Go with the Nismo front, stock sides, and stock hood. I just put the Nismo front end on my car and it looks SOOOO much better than stock IMO!

Honestly, Ings+1 sides look better with both the Nismo and Kuruma Z fronts.

Impul sides are seriously getting overrated. I love mine, but if I could afford a set of Ings+1 skirts or find good fitting replicas, then I'd sell my Impuls in a heartbeat.

hey they look good...

Ings sides look great with the Kuruma Z front but with the Nismo they are a bit low but they still look good.

Yea, the main reason I would consider going back to stock is because the car already sits so low.....I know a body kit will get me scraping even more. Maybe I'll just have to get the Roberuta kit too


Oh and Cal, I'm too busy to search right now, but any chance you have a few clean pics of the Kuruma/Nismo plus each of the side skirts (Impul and INGS +1)??? I know you used to have the Nismo front....
