Sorry for all this mess. No mention of back pain says you've dodged the worst bullet.

Ever since the nickel jolt I spent at Folsom, I have this intense fear of "rear-enders".

So, the estimate for repair is around $1000. Should I go with an aftermarket bumper? How much cost am I looking at to get an aftermarket bumper, have it painted, and installed?

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.
