Amuse seems to be the most popular front bumper replacement, but it's expensive. I personally love the Z's front bumper with the fangs so I think a lip is a better choice, plus you have alot to choose from. I went with a Mines replica and molded to the bumper. Here's a pic.

Aero Jacket SS looks pretty aggressive. I like the Carbon Signal TS CF. That is the one I went with. Looks pretty nasty and sleek.

If your car is DD, go with a lip. The stock front bumper is much more durable compare to after market fiber glass. Exclude the stillen front bumper

To me, there are two aggressive looking lips made for the Z. The Varis and the Sunline. I'd take either one anytime. There are two great looking bumpers and to me it is the Fujimura Raptor or the Amuse. I am using a lip until I can afford the Raptor. If your car is aggressively lowered, find a way to install metal plates at the bottom. These plates protect the lip or bumper from thinning.

In the end, it is less expensive if you go with a lip. Full bumper replacements are expensive, more $$ to paint, and more $$ to install.

Not dumb. There are other better options though.

To be honest, the only thing you are getting with an aftermarket bumper is increased DRAG with absolutely no improvement in AERO Dynamics, more weight, and less durability than the stock urethane bumper and less quaility over the stock bumper.

What's with the wide mouths, additional side vents, etc with all these aftermarket bumpers? :confused: Do you like showing off your washer fluid container? or the A/C condenser? :stirthepot:
