Recommend me a front bumper

So, I was in a car accident tonight where I was cutoff by someone who didn't check before changing lanes - and now I do not have a front bumper. I'm not sure how this works and I'm hoping I can get it covered by insurance, but I assume if they have to replace the bumper, what is the difference between an OEM bumper and an aftermarket one.

That being said, I've never done any research into body modifications and wondered if anyone had any favorite bumpers they'd rec. I'm not looking for anything too too aggressive, but something a little more aggro than stock would be nice. Thanks.

Agreed. Looks very clean, almost OEM. And it also comes in poly, so no worries about it cracking. Dustin@Strafe sells them for a fair price.

Actually, now that I look at the Nismo I think you guys are on to something. Looks pretty good imo.

If you do go with the Nismo, I would also recommend painting the ducts black. But that is my opinion though.

Edit: Here is a comparison for you, since you're DG. These were easy to find.

Black


DG

Thanks for the help everyone I think I will be getting the Nismo front bumper, just gotta line everything up with my insurance. Will try to remember to post pics when everything is all fixed and ready to go.

I think I prefer the DG vents - if I had black wheels/those headlights, I think the added black on the vents would be a nice touch, but with my setup I think it would look better with the DG vents. But seriously, I really appreciate everyone's help.

And Dustin, I'd get it on that group buy if I had some "downtime" for my car, but unfortunately need to get this stuff ASAP (don't worry, I'm still gonna go through you ).

OEM with lip. Makes it much easier to sell down the road.
