i killed ranger rick!...but my bumper:( (pix)
 

ok its about 2am so im think'n its a good time for a drive. im going down some old country raods. then out of no were this huge. i me huge coon pops out on to the road. then it runs back for safty, gets to the endge of the road so stoped braking then it runs back out. cruchathump. i hit that like babe ruth. i think it then deflected all the way across the road becuase when i whent back to see how many peaices it was in it was not there. and i know that there is no way in hell it lived that hit. "for the record i was going 55mph." but my bumper f-u-c-k-e-d. and my laser jammer took a hit too. so it looks like time for a new bumper.

and

WTF?! What's up with all these animals wrecking bumpers tonight :icon8: :confused: :icon43: ??? Cloudy had a similer accident like you but he had a whole entire piece of his bumper come off & instead of a coon, it was a coyote.

Sorry to here that bro. As you pointed out, at least this give you an excuse to upgrade your bumper now.

Damn animals.. why cant they leave us alone?!!! :(

some of you know what i did to the birds....time to get my gun :mad: :icon42: :icon25: :icon34: :icon38:

hey what kind of bumpers are out there that arnt to extream. i have the stock 17wheels so i cant have somthing over power them too much. i was thinking doing the instail of the bumper my self and using the money i save to a new lip. like the v1 lip or sothing. or maybe to just put towards some preformace parts.

I might be selling my skirts and rear lip if u wanna buy :P.
If u want a lip, get the greddy, looks good.

ya i think ill look in to the greddy but i see no need for improvment on the rest of the car, im sort of a minimalist.

Theres alot more hair on urs then mine... lol

and a lot more bumper still there...lol

damn... Cloudy's right, more hair on your car. I think you gave the poor critter a buzz cut before launching it to coon heaven....

YOU ALL BE CAREFUL OUT THERE ... :icon24:

LOL! that is true as well.... iam missn a chunk of the left side.. haha

So guess what, i went to 2 shops today, 1 to see what they would quote me (High shop so they charge alot usually). Then Intense motorsports, iam gonna go with Intense, since they are my sponsors and who i would order the bumper from haha... well the bill comes out to about $3371 to fix everything. I think iam gonna go with a Do-Luck front bumper this time...

Well it's time to get a new bumper and an alignment check.

Sorry to hear that, but at least you now have an excuse to spend more money on the car ;)

Hey.. i'm still alive.. but that hurt like a mofo...

My lawyer will be in touch with you soon..

~Mr. Racoon

Oh dont even start your furry pos. You caused the accident! I saw it myself... you were in the middle, ran to the side... then waited till he got closer and "faked" the accident! Iam willing to testify in court.

LOL

On a serious note.. look a this as an oportunity to replace that stock front bumper ;)

might go carbonfiber nismo if i can get it in a grey to match my silverstone. :D

Why would u want it CF then if ur just gonna paint it? And if you really want it painted. Order from www. IntensePower.com and tell them to have it painted for you. Their painter is kinda slow (like 1week delay or so) but he does great work and matches it very close if not perfect. Hard to match without the car, but does such a good job cant tell.

if i get the cf i wont paint it... but i only would get the cf if the actual color of the carbon fiber is close to that of my z. also those little air rams are there plugs for those when it rains?

edit: if i painted it i would have them do a paint fade from the car to the bumper for a perfict undetectable match.

I say just get a CF Nismo bumper, and do a fade, from the bottom part CF, up to the top of the bumper (whatever ur car color is)
