Car accident, new bumper

So I was in an accident this morning. The front bumper is compeltely off and damaged, along with slight damage to the left front fender(or whatever you wanna call it) I was looking to get a new front bumper before this whole thing happened, and debated between the nismo and the top secret from eric. I like the greddy and some others, but my car is lowered enough already that I have to go so slow into my driveway, so I'm worried most bumpers will be too low.
So, opinions? I like both and have seen enough that its hard to choose. Although I feel the nismo may be a little to close to stock for me, I still like the look of it.

Well due to being a college student who still works full time, this accident is going to make it a bit harder on me, so I figured a nismo replica from eric would fit well and be cheaper then even the oem bumper if i decide to pay out of pocket to fix the damage (no estimate till tommorow)

From what I've seen, the real nismo's are pretty highly priced IMO. If I was just doing the bumper, it'd be fine. The fact that other damage may need to be fixed as well, is what turns me to replicas. And to be honest, from what I see, more then 3/4 of the people here seem to have replicas of different pieces of kits...

I however, do understand what you're saying, don't get me wrong.

The nismo is starting to grow on me the more I see it. Anyone seen anyone with it on LR? I can't find any pics on here...

EDIT: nevermind I'm a dirty liar and forgot to check the LR Pics thread

I'd say nismo, but not eric's. i've seen people who got his bumper and the surface was all wavy.
