Need opinons on after-market hood and front bumper
okay, i'm 17 years old and I have some stupid friends. So basically my friend ends up backing his car into mine. I took it to my repair guy, who i am good friends with, to get an estimate. Bare minimum, it will cost my friend $4,500. The hood, bumper, grill, and headlights need to be replaced. Since the guy is my friend he is letting my pick out any hood, bumper, and headlights I want, instead of just factory parts from Lexus. I need your help for the hood and bumper. I have a 2002 black onyx IS300 on black stockers. Right now its at stock ride hieght (will change now since i have all this going on).
Hoods:

Bumpers (I don't have side skirts or a rear bumper, so will these look really bad?):

I have already picked out a pair of headlights and a grill, but any other ideas for other types of hoods or bumpers would be greatly appreciated because I just breifly looked for a few styles, Thanks in advance!

get the VIS OEM style carbon fiber hoodn but make sure you get hoodpins installed try aerocatch they make good flush ones, if you are going to get a bumper, might as well get the rest of the kit itll be cheaper in the long run cause of painting and such. if i was you id get a full VIS TRD "Techno R" body kit and have ur friend paint it. other wise these front bumpers wont flow well with the rest of a stock body, itll look like an incomplete car.
