Default Filled front badge, rear wiper...

SO i just got my front emblem shaved/filled/repainted front bumper, color matched the side mirrors, and plugged/painted the rear wiper.

Question to those that have done the bumper, I can still see where the indentation was, does anyone else have that problem? It seems like its worse on the passenger side then the drivers. Overall I like the look but i think i need it redone.

I'll post up pics in a second.

future plans include rims, data systems/blitz/vertex spoiler (can't decide), Some 18's (not sure which yet, but most likely Nismos , C4's, or Hiro's), Nismo exhaust, blah blah blah

I love the front end, the side matched mirrors? BLAH! I would get the carbon fiber sticker from bluebatmobile.com and cover those back up dark because they dont look good.

Rear wiper awesome! I took mine off as well, but my plug is very visible when standing close to the car, how did you accomplish the smooth wiper hole?

Other then that your car is super hot, and is begging for rims, the rear tire looks like its getting eaten by a wide body fender, lol.

Great job!

For rims, I would suggest PIAA super rozza in hyper black (looks like dark silver color in person, totally different from pics).

I still can't get over how beautiful the PIAAs are. I almost bought them myself, but I got a good deal on the volks instead... so I went for them.

looks nice. did they spray the entire bumper? How much did it run you for the front and rear wiper to be shaved and painted?

Nice, very clean! and the Shop did a great job color matching and filling in the front. BUTTTTTTTT. Why in christs name would you not fill in the 2 dimples on the front.

Nice! I did the same thing to my sidemirrors & shaved my rear badge. My front bumper is aftermarket so I don't have a badge in the front either. I'll be shaving the side badges soon too & I'll probably use a color-matched plug for the rear wipers since I want to keep that open just in case I decide to use it again.

Clean! Where did you get your work done? How is the color match and what kind of paint did they use? My front is full of rock chips

Probably because it would require them to repaint the rear hatch in the process. I think I'd rather wait and just put on a spoiler that covers the rear holes for less money.
