Default Facelift Teaser...

Here's a teaser for my new-to-me front bumper....Thanks Jason (aznguy370z)

I'm taking it in tomorrow to have it painted....should have everything back and installed before the XXX meet...since I can't make it to the Carl's Jr. meet tomorrow, I thought I would show up in spirit by posting a couple of pics.

This first one just shows where I repaired the damage. Sorry, I didnt take any damage shots cause I was too excited to try repairing it...(Jason knows what it looked like before)



Front shot....just needs the paint now.







See everyone at the end of the month.

Looks good. I think I remember the bodyshop mentioning that they mixed a lot of the chemical that makes paint flex. If they don't Mix in enough your paint may flake off. Another thing to note is after they bake the bumper it may look shrunk but It will flex back to shape once it's on the z.

Is that a crazy camera or am I trippin'? Seems like almost all the pics you take are borderline HDR pictures.


Look's good though!! Can't wait to see it finished!!!
It actually does look like Urban Camo haha, kinda cool.

btw, that's the Aerosync front bumper correct? Probably one of my favorite bumpers for the Z. Looks so clean.

Yes, It's the Aerosync N1 PU ( polyurethane )...and it's fuggin' heavy compared to the OEM bumper.

I like the Aerosync bumper more then I like the Nismo V1.... Why? Because doesn't the Nismo V1 have that lip on the bumper itself? I don't like that, I like the molded look on the aerosync.








Edit: What's the ***? F.A.G? I'm no homo. =[

UPDATE::

Bumper won't be done in time for the XXX meet....you're just gonna have to deal with the stock look a bit longer.
I went to Lake's Auto in Lakewood to drop it off to be painted. They ballparked over the phone around 300-350 for paint, when I showed up they said it would be around 550 to paint and bake. I'll look around for someone else. Painting the bumper right now is not worth the mess I'll get into with the wife.

And I was sooo anxious to get this done...Oh well,such is life.

Same thing happened to me a couple years back when I needed something painted. I wound up going to body shop in Tacoma called Collision Specialists off Washington and 56th Street. I got my front rear bumper and lip painted for $200 I think
