Default AHHHH my girl ran in to my front bumper!!!! (pics)

Well my girl backed up into my front bumper today. I can honestly say I really wasnt mad. She was crying so bad cause she knows how much I love this car. I see it this way an opportunity to get a new front bumper or a new body kit. I was thinking of an oem or Nismo style front bumper in Carbon Fiber painting everithing minus the middle section kind of how I have now. What do you guys think any ideas?

the damage





This is what I have now I would like all CF, painting the whole bumper minus the midle section. Do you guys think a Nismo front would look funny if I only got the front and not the whole kit?

Damn...sorry to hear that man but it actually doesn't look too bad. A bodyshop could fix that fairly easily. As far as the Nismo bumper, I think it'll look pretty good even without the rest of the kit. IMO...I think the Nismo front lip/full bumper kits go well even without the rest of the kit. It's similar to just having the Veilside V1 lip. Hope everything works out for ya...

Just be happy it didn't damage your FMIC. Now that would've sucked!

"really wasn't mad"..........maybe just a little? I can understand why she was crying, that's a great looking car. If that happened to me, I'd probably get an OEM, but shave the emblem indent. Good luck!!

Oh man that sucks. BTW I think the Nismo front (JDM style) is the only aftermarket front that looks good with the stock sides and rear, so good I have one myself I havent painted yet. It was cool that you didnt blow up on her over that though...
