I have a big paint chip to the right of my license plate and two more ittle ones right by the fog lights.  I was going to get these fixed this commiing spring, but i'm thinking about getting an aftermarket front bumper now that i'd have to have the whole thing sprayed anyway.  What do you all think?> and how much are most of the afermarket bumpers?  thanks.

the only thing about that is ur front bumper will look lower than the rest of ur car. i personally would just wait to get a whole body kit for like 1k then have it painted (i know that's a lot more $), cuz it just seems like something u'd wanna get done all at once.

If you don't get a way out there front bumper it should blend nicely with the rest of the car. Look at My240's car he only has a front bumper and it looks nice. Also most 300ZX front bumpers look nice just by themselve's. Anyway ussually front bumper's cost around 300+ maybe less if you find a deal.

:confused: I got a lovely stock bumper, was pretty cheap to got it free with the car. Your right most hang lower it's just not as noticable or takes away from the looks as bad as you were making it sound. Anyway my car is stage:stock right now. I was gonna reinstall my boost controller but got up at 3 in the afternoon <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> and it's dark out by 4:30 here <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

Make sure you don't get one of those snow plow front ends with the fugly fangs.

if you plan on keeping your car for awhile and going to spend mad money on it... then yes... but if you plan on selling it in a few years then don't get a bumper... you will just waste money.
