Color match lip/2 tone.
C mod paint black if oem leave as is.
Roof maybe wrap it so its reversible.
Eyelids color match (50/50) not sure how it'll look.
Our cars are full of bad luck.

Important question - is the actual body dinged or is it just paint chips?

You can always find and fab either if its not a direct bolt. Sntgr08 has the hideaway plates, but he also has the GTR kit. Its pretty sweet, I think I have pics but need to do some digging if you want to see them.

I had hide away plates.
Didn't last though.
I ran over a flag on the highway and it ripped the plates right off.
The bracket stayed put though... as advertised.

I'm not allowed to post pictures of my boy's Altima because it is still under construction, however, he said I could post a teaser of what he's doing. He has a 2012 white coupe and here are his headlights:
