Default 350Z + Stupid kid on BMX bike =

So long story short, I'm sitting at a stop sign waiting to merge into traffic when all of a sudden, bam, kid flying over my car and cracking my windshield.
Kids ok, claims he was going too fast and didn't see me at the curb, kid gets ticket and I get a new bumper and windshield. Of course my insurance ends up paying for it because kid has no insurance, but I decided to spend a little bit more and upgrade. Got the Shine auto Nismo V2. Gotta give a big thanks to BMXer for the upgrade.
Before


BMX hit


After

Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics, I'll post some better ones in the next few days.

Lol, reminds me of when i was a teen and i didn't have a car, me n my friend where skating in the street on our block when an old lady plows straight through my homie. My friend ends up cracking the windshield with his bloody *** elbow. When he stood up he was twitching a lil bit. The old lady actually made him pay for it. Till this day, I still dont understand how that happened.

Thanks for all the comments. I shot the first picture with Canon 20D and Tokina 12-24 F4 lens. I'll definitely be taking more photos soon with the new bumper. Funny thing about the first photo is it was taken after about a 400 mile drive, so the car was filthy, but I think it adds to the feel of that photo.

First picture looked pretty ominous. Like something divine (or evil) is about to happen, lol.

As for the new bumper: meh.

I think the dirt adds to the charm, makes it look like a piece of industrial steel or something.

Spacers in the rear would make it even sweeter. Overall looks awesome.

Yup, sides and rear are next, wasn't exactly planning on changing the body kit, but since the accident it has opened my eyes up to new possibilities.
Quick note, on the first pic, there were no spacers in the front or rear, since then I have put 25's on both front and rear.

First picture is achieved by what's called H.D.R. [High Dynamic Range].

Here was my first attempt a while back:

Where was that first picture taken? It really looks like it was taken in Detroit!
