Well the FMIC is in. Thanks again Bro!. (Dustin) M1 redesigned the bumper with me and I like it.. Pollo and Jose from R&J thnaks for hooking up the ride and Pollo thanks for installing that bad boy. Might finish the wire tuck might not. Need to get GTM's pulley and re dyno the car. Here she is...

Before


Numbers


After









First of all. I liked the bumper. Second of all there are plenty of cars out there with worse mods than a bumper. I guess if I did volks and a Kenstyle kit It would be the ish.. Maybe a APR wide with some racing parts and no FI. Whatever the case I show the car daily drive it and enjoy my money spent and my car. Case closed on that. Some comments were funny though..

SOO is Rice mean I'm 100% JDM? LOL So those of you that use this Rice term explain in detail what RICE Means.......Really I'd like to see a good and accurate definition not some lame usage of the term.

I had this bumper on for yr and really Don't care what others think. I do know over 500 copies of this bumper have been sold.

The one thing I never say or do is put some one's car down. Maybe the type of person they are I talk smack about. I might not like their car or choices but I know they like what they have done.

Now on to better things.

Here is my new bumper(WAIJAI inspired) before it gets a little change. Top Secret Bumper Thanks to Peter @ M1. Off to R&J Auto body and Paint in Carson CA, for help working on this one. I'm learning how to glass and paint. If all works out this will be the lowest TS bumper.

and the fitment is ok the gap is because it is not really mounted on the car. just for reference before we mod it up.





Soon to be bye bye GT-R bumper...

The references to the wanna be gt-r and stuff has been played out to the fullest. I have had and shown the bumper for over a yr in 3 different versions. Really it's funny up to a point but never dull. The AT V MT gets old also. Plenty on exotics have AT trans w paddles. Either way..Some comments make me laugh also when I see the mod list of the ppl posting. I enjoy the ride and that is what matters most..

I'm not making fun of the car because I think it's a wannabe GTR. I simply think the front bumper is ugly . . . just like Predator. In all honestly, Predator's face was the very first thing that came to my mind when I saw your front bumper. Regarding the automatic transmission versus a standard transmission, I honestly do not see any reason to call anyone out for choosing an auto over a standard.

Some people on this site just like to jump on bandwagons, but its a public forum so people will have their opinions.

Ultimately, its your car, who cares what others think.

So how do you like the paddles?

Yup. Rest of the car has been improving and is pretty good. Front end will never be even remotely acceptable.

Since they are OEM integrated into the car I love them. The G37 brakes are awesome also.

Do you need to shift the gear selector into manual mode? Or can you shift on the fly?

Because I can! Search the world's exotics and race cars see how many are Manual.. The paddle shifters are just like any other infiniti shifters and work the same way as the stick in MM mode. They do however make it easier and faster to shift up or down.
