So i'm driving down the highway and I realize that the road is patched with that cheap @ss graval type filler that gets worked into the road as cars drive over top of it. Anyways there was a dump truck driving in front of me by about 10 cars or so in the opposite lane, he then decides to change lanes and slow down and the result is his truck kicking up all that gravel into my front bumper and hood at 70mph. So now my front bumper and part of my hood is rittled with hundreds of knicks and gouges in the paint, especially on the bottom diffuser, which do not buff out. So i'm kinda pissed that I probably need an entirely new front bumper.

 

****...

 

This make me love the clear bra.
that clear bra takes all the beating on the road.

 

that reallly really blows. hope you get it fixed soon go after market now

 

aftermarket, not going to happen

 

lol, no after market for the Nismo Z huh

 

as far as the front bumper goes, hell no

 

lol, who would right? Just have a shop respray the bumper and the hood, then invest in a clear bar if they have it for Nismo Z. I think the think is kinda expensive, but it does pay for itself if the same situation comes up again once or twice

 

There are clear bra precut kits for the Nismo Z.

 

really? thats sweet. Shopd here in columbus wont touch a nismo for under $750.

 

You should def just repaint it. I just had to replace my front bumper (i got pwned by a truck tire a 2:30 in the morning) PAIN IN THE ***. Took over a ******* month to get parts.

 

I managed to get from CO to MN without one nick in the front bumper. Immediately got it clear bra'd. Sorry to hear about the damage. I have a pre-cut hood, fenders and mirror kit for the Nismo Z if you're interested.

 

Gotta love MN roads

 

It kinda sucks though, since It's going to be in HIN next weekend, oh well.

 

I would replace it with Ings+1 Type E Long Nose.

 

Joking or serious?

 

You can buy red duct tape at Wal-Mart.

 

it's really not that noticeable unless your right up to it and rub your hand over it, it's mainly knicks in the clear coat.

 

So you're just being nitpicky about minor details? I can relate to that.

I hate knowing that something small exists.


I'd say if anything, to just repaint your current bumper to retain your stock body pieces. If you don't need to repaint it yet, don't bother.

I'd wait until it got worse with more chips.

 

i'm getting over it now, since it's not too bad. I am really nitpicky though, it's sorta irritating regardless.
