So I was in the far right lane listening to beastie boys and doing about 80 when I hear a big bang and then something dragging, I pull over to find this:


end result:




this was the day I was going to do my weekly scrub down + waxing too

So I'm thinking of either getting a Nismo front bumper (a bit played out, but always good) or the Carbon Fiber Top Secret lookalike and painting it to leave only the bottom portion exposing the CF. What do you all think will flow with the back bumper and side skirts?

 

I have a friend that did NISMO front + sides, then Stealin rear + spoiler; it flows very well. You can't even tell it's a mix-matched kit.

 

that's really not that bad ... just refiberglass your bumper. i had a chunk that was taken out of my sarona fender and airwalker bumper. my fiberglass guy remade the missing pieces of the bumper and fender; then reinforced all the stress cracks. both the bumper and fender look 100% new.

im not sure how much this would cost you though. i get my work done for next to nothing.

 

i have the same front bumper, ****ed mine up last week by not paying attention and cracked mine up the left side, yah, im pissed and just having it repaired.

 

i know how that feels...

 

my first airwalker bumper ended up looking like that after i hit a dead dog lying in the road @ 60mph

edit adding pics:

 

Ok that was gross

 

how fast was the dog going?

 

All of our battle scars
Jason, how much for the CF Nismo? I'm wondering how that would flow with my kit, and having all painted but the lip... (I'll most likely get mine repaired, but this is a chance to tryout something different )

 

Damn...you just gotta take a picture of the gut didnt you?

 

That was far out. Way out there. Crazy man, crazy!

 

I'd just get that silver Ings bumper repaired since it doesn't look that bad....damn that blue airwalker bumper is f'ed up....haha

 

I have a feeling those were the "tame" pics... there are probably some with the brain splatter on the undercarriage...

 

Welp...

I need a new front bumper now too...

on my way to work... spun on the on ramp went on the curb... hope nothing else happend to my car but being scraped... I pay I did not bend a coil over or something...

I am never going to run full PSI in my car again... 32PSI is what I am running all around and I can not keep my rear wheels locked down on the ground... they spin like no tommorow... and it doesnt help when the ground is wet... 26PSI for me from now on all the time... gonna take out my TPS...

 

WTF? Dead dog? Holy ****! Talk about bad luck, that would never happen if you were driving a junker, it only happens when you have the nice car The second day I owned my Z a damn 18 wheeler kicked up a huge rock and damaged my hood and window This never happens to my other cars.

 

That is, sorry was the best looking bumper for the Z IMO.

Was the dead dog dead before you hit it?

 

did u spin it again? or was this from last time?

 

im pretty sure the dog was dead or near dead before i hit it. it certainly was after i did ... :9

another incident ... only 2 weeks after getting my new bumper and fenders and only 1 day after getting my new wheels (this was back in late march?)

when i was leaving for the day, a lady in the parking garage wasn't paying attention and back into me.
