i suppose if you plan on getting the rest of the kit for the front bumper, sides, etc. ... but that wont be just $1K

that said, if you're not planning on adding any more bits, get the stock bumper. authentic fitment > most aftermarkets.

If you want a new bumper, ask/negotiate for 1200 from their insurance. You can end up with an amuse rep for 600 and then pay for paint and install. Find a good body shop to do the job. Ask forum members from Dallas. Once you start with this mod, you cannot end right there and must work your way to the front of your Z.

If you can live with the way it looks right now, you can pay off some bills or put it towards a performance mod.

anyway, i got hit from behind at a parking lot a long time ago in my old car and since then, ive been VERY paranoid about getting rear ended...
No it's because it's Texas.

Dig up all the accident threads and research how many are in Tx. Then research how many got rear ended by an idiot. Usually a female, blonde.

You need to clarify here. Do you mean the blonde got hit or the hitter is a blonde? I hope its not the latter.

Join the club, mine got the same tatoo, from parking lot no insurance claim but my own, earlier I read about the tow hook trick, maybe one for the rear
