Glad you're alright Berto. I have a stock bumper with the grille still in it and I have very small cracks in the paint at the corners of the headlights. My undertray got trashed long ago, so I've been running without one. I might have to get one now...

HP means nothing in this scenario, speed is speed. How fast you get there I dont think matters, other than in my case now that I can get up to speed quicker I do it more often.

The car is in serious need of a respray along with getting dings taken out. It was DD for 3 years through MD winters (when NA) and its showing its age. I'll likely do the old school Nismo V1, paint the center black, do the roof and door handles black and call it a day. When I put enough $$$$ aside for that is beyond me though...this also made me want a roll cage even more now, I figure between the respray/body work I want and a GOOD cage Im not looking at anything less than $8500, freaking money pit of a car

That is an awesome Idea for paint work Your car is stupid fast man. Cracking the bumper. That is crazy!!!!!!!!!
