Rear bumper suggestions please!

Messed up the paint on my rear bumper on 2014 Base Sport. Shop recommended replace and respray. What are some good options for aftermarket? Prefer polyurethane. Might consider stock again

Might consider stock again if anyone knows a secret about where I can get it for under $500.

Thanks!

Without knowing the extent of the "damage" to your rear bumper,I'll give a design
offer...When the Z34 came out,looking at all the angles,IMO-i've always thought the rear
just did not look balanced compared to the Z33.Reason being,the license plate opening was way too big. Out of proportioned to balance the rear.
Why was this?Nissan decided to control costs by doing one bumper that fit all sizes of plates. The Z33 had 2 bumpers.
So,as a option,instead of going through the expense&trouble of doing another bumper with the BIG opening for the plate,get your bumper repainted and add a carbon insert(as I did)to redesign the rear. My insert makes the rear smaller,lower and wider.
ZCF has e'm for about 125 bucks shipped. See my avitar.

Good luck

Check the classifieds section. You might find some used locally for 200-300.

Aftermarket poly? Good luck finding one. Get a + 15 Nismo if you'd like or stick with the same yr oem.
