I am driving home on the highway and all of a sudden I see this huge piece of plastic in the middle of my lane. There was not much I could do so I braced and listened to the horrible sounds of plastic and metal meeting at 80mph.

I was in the market for a new Nismo V2 front bumper but not like this. There goes my greddy front lip and another 1K.

BEFORE:




AFTER:

 

Sorry to hear that.. at least it looks like it was only the front bumper.. could have throwen you off the road had it ben more then just plastic..

 

I know it is the same car on the before/after pics but it looks like two different colors.

 

Ouch that sucks bro! One of my buddies hit a piece of rubber than flew off of a semi and destroyed his front bumper and a little of his under body, it could of been alot worse! BTW what type of rims are those?

Jeff

 

lol...your lip got robbed..

 

I know how you feel man my front bumper is chipped by debris and i need to pay about 1k to fix a dent they put in my passenger door plus paint my bumper from a collision in a parking.

 

hey man i feel you, i was cruising down the highway goin about 75-80 to a 350z meet and something Flys off the back of this suv and crashes right ontop of my hood!!! ruins the paint and scratches it up!!

 

Thats rough man. A week after I bought my Z, which was only about a month ago, I had to dodge a full semi tire right in the middle of my lane, that I did not see until about 1 car length in front of me. Good luck on the repair.

 

Looks the same to me...

OP- sorry to hear that man. But hey, now u have the Nismo V2 coming.

 

im sorry to hear that man, best of luck to ya

 

now you see the lip... and now you dont.. look closer..

 

Up close pics of the damage ...

 

Ouch! Sorry to hear that

I hit a truck tire in Atlanta in my toyota. Ripped the wheelwell out where it connects to the front fender..so it peeled back and rubbed on my tire. I noticed a burning smell when i finaly pulled over and saw the big hole from all the tire friction. Now I got bungee cords holding it in place..makes for easy filter cleaning for my CAI tho

 

did it do any damage or just take off the lip?

 

sorry to hear about the damage... almost the exact same thing happened to me. i had a greddy front lip, greddy side skirts, but an ings rear apron. there was an escalade front bumper sitting in the highway... i hit it at 70 mph... the lip goes flyin off and my rear apron literally gets ripped in half... i feel our pain.

 

looks like some good bends in the bumper as well. ..

I hate every other driver out there. And I hate parking too. People just don't care about anyone else's things unless the owners are standing by watching (which I find myself doing alot of).

 

I kind of like it with out that front lip. Can i get a side shot to see if the side skirts are to low compared to the front?

 

sorry to hear that...good thing you just took it instead of endangering other people on the freeway

 

Damn..I guess CA's not the only state with crappy roads huh..

 

might i ask what kind of wheels those are?
