Second, I wouldn't have dropped the car off. They can order and paint a new bumper and then it takes 15min to install when it comes in. I hate leaving my Z in a shop, especially for no reason.

Third, you can mask that area off and paint it a flat black. It'll look fine.
I thought the same thing "it looks....alright, kind of cool...wait WTF...NO!" I don't want to compare this to an exotic but people appreciate this car, its unique...if you needed work on your Ferrari that got wrecked, you would want it fixed just right so it looked like when you first picked it from the show room that first day...right? AND...the first person who see's that car and really appreciates its history is going to see the work and immediately know that Nissan did not produce cars in 2010 with this specific paint scheme...fake, damaged, kit, etc.

The other thing that hit me was service was not due as a customer, it needs to be done right in every way unless asked. I almost went with the Stillen front end but backed out...I want classic...original...the way it was, that is why I pay for insurance.
