Default Good idea or not?

Due to weather related damage I need to replace my front bumper. Rock chipped paint and pitted bare plastic which can't be repaired. So now the question. Remain stock or go with Nismo parts and have the only yellow Nismo? If the later, should I just do the bumper or do all the parts? I'm not a big fan of the Nismo spoiler though...

A yellow nismo would look nice, but it will cost you plenty to swap out the front and rear bumper, side skirts, spoiler and wheels. If money is no object then go for it.

I think someone put all the NISMO parts on a blue Z. Find him and pm him to see if he had any issues

Yellow NISMO sounds kool. Yellow is my 2nd favorite color. Monterey blue is my first.
