Anxious, Happy, Sad, Blah

As all Maxima owners, we all have done from minimum to drastic modifications. I've had my maxima for over 2 years now and I recently started to modify it. Anything from lowering it, to custom painting the headlights, grill, engine bay cover, to my recent mods such as changing the interior lights to blue LED's and recently putting on the 07 spoiler. I just want to drop dead on the floor right now.. I finished working on my car this last sunday. Took it for a wash early morning morning, and come monday night, as I was driving back from VA. I hit who knows what on my way back and the results are as follow...








whatever it was, it happened to be a living thing because there was blood all over...

Question is which front bumper should I get? Any suggestions

That's what I'm doing for now, I'll take it off, use a heat gun to excite the plastic and i'll mold it as well as I can, then I'll paint the bottom black... It's cracked but I'll see how well I can do this.. The poll is just in case I mess up, (which I will) and thus I wanted to know what people thought I should buy as my replacement bumper.
I talked to E. from EZKoncepts and i'm waiting for his response. I love the back GTR bumper. I'm not a big fan of the front bumper just yet, I want to see it painted. Maybe then I'll be a bigger fan.

So I tried my best at molding it back in place, and even painted the bottom piece black, but the little sucker (raccoon/possum/ or ginormous mutated squirrel) ripped off the plastic cover connector between my bumper and the car.. (If that makes sense) either way, that left my left drive side splash shield half intact. This is such a major headache.... I'm still trying to decided which bumper to get....

the gtr is ready to be ordered at www.ezkoncepts.com if you are lowered you will have to trim it though, but at $285 I think is the best deal out there considering is made from duraflex

the only problem with those guys, is that they are using a photoshop picture no the actual bumper , it would be really nice if it actually looked like that

Take a baseball bat and hit the front bumper 2 more times I've heard bad things happen in threes then buy the GTR or RLM, the VIP I thought was the lip someone was making for the 6.5 gen, and the OEM with the Stillen lip would be sweet especially after seeing the white Max that had it molded on

So, after driving around and seeing this honda kit get %^&$%# by a pothole, I decided to get a OEM one... and for $40 prime and ready to be painted.. I couldn't pass the opportunity..!!!

thank you for all your opinions and inputs, if i do change my mind, I'll def. get the GTR kit.
