sorry for you, people can be real a-holes. if you end up needing a new bumper i would maybe suggest the aerosync. that bumper is definitely going to be my next bumper and it looks similar to stock which is what i like and the quality is really good from what ive heard. either way, good luck with the repair.

Luckily he only chipped my wheel. If they had hit it harder and bent or cracked it I'd be pissed. The J8's are discontinued. Aerosync bumper I'll have to look into! Thanks for the suggestion.

Well the verdict is in and a new oem front bumper is going to cost $350 through the shop. Soooo, I guess I'll stick with the stock bumper considering I'm not going to find anything decent with good fitment in the aftermarket world for that.

Been there man, it sucks.

Prior to the Z, was living in an apartment with an rsx-s. I'm the dude that parks at the end of the lot, easily 10 spaces away from everybody else. This was the end unit, too -- not pass through parking lot -- just a curb and trees.

Woke up one morning, on my way to work, and I notice a basketball-sized dent in my rear bumper. $900 quote for new bumper & paint, so even with a $500 deductible, I decide to pay it out of pocket so as not to hike my insurance rates. 2 weeks later, SAME ****ING THING. No note, no nothing.

That's when I decided to get out of the apartment and find my own place with a garage. Less opportunity for the world's abundant amount of ****tards to **** you over....

Ouch!! GL with getting it all fixed, though. It's sad that people are so destructive, especially to something that is worth so much!

Hopefully someone here can help me out with this one. The lip was on the car when I got it. I'm trying to identify exactly what type it is and by who. My insurance is reimbursing a good portion of the price on it I just neet to find a reatil price and I'm having difficulty identifying exactly what brand it is and what not. Any help is appreciated.

Could be mistaken but isnt that either a Mines or Evo-r replica?

EDIT: nevermind, those two are slightly different. It looks like a nismo replica of some sort in CF.

I've come to the same conclusion but I'm not having any luck finding a match.

Nope, not right - less time being sarcastic, more time actually looking at the product and model year might help the OP.

I agree his car is an 03-05, but the lip you posted is listed for an 06-07. And the lips listed for the 03-05 don't match up.

Could it fit... maybe. Don't think the insurance company will like seeing the wrong model year.

It's an 04' and regardless of your sarcasm thank you very much for the link; I believe that is it and a huge difference in MSRP for what they were trying to give me.

The pic is of the 07+ lip, but it has 03-06 listed at the bottom.

Read before you post.

Show your insurance company this link and try to talk them into giving you more money.
