Default Front Fascia replacement

I was driving up the highway today and an 18 Wheeler blew a tire 2 cars up... The tire chunk was the size of my freaking windshield. Needless to say I couldn't swerve due to cars being on either side of me. Cracked my stock front fascia BAD and ripped the under wind spoiler half off.


Need a to replace it. Question is, should I go stock again / Stillen / or anyother recommendations....

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Sucks man, I hate when stuff like that happens. Check out the Nismo, Amuse, and Fujimara. All good looking in my opinion.

Wouldn't that be covered by your insurance?

My deductible is 1k :/

& if I buy aftermarket plus the paint & install, I figure it may be the same or cheaper. Don't want to raise my premium.

I'll post some pics when I get back to the house in a bit.

Stillen FTW. Holds up great, looks great, and functional. It's heavier than all others but no big deal. Great price and always easily replaceable being there local for stateside. I recommend side skirts to make it flow with the rest of the car.
