Default Few pics, and one big question

Got bored waiting for a friend and decided to snap some pics. They're no crazy level photography pictures, just some off my iPhone. I need to take my center caps off again. I don't know why I put them on I think they look better with no center caps. Yes, I know I need to go lower and get spacers! hehe. Soon though, soon. For some odd reason, the angle of these pics make the rear wheels look small, and the rear less... flush? If you see the car in person, the rear wheels don't look this small, and sits more flush than these pics. lolz

BTW!!! Don't mind the front bumper!! I'm currently debating if I should keep it and fix it or if it's cheaper to just buy a different bumper.

What do you guys think?? It's made of that Hybrid FRP or w.e... Cheaper to fix or cheaper to buy a new one? Also, does my car's stance kind of look... raked? Anyways enjoy!

























lolz found this gem lurking in the back of the parking lot. LOL. HELLA CUSTOM YO!

I like it dude. Depends on your bank account on fixing what you have or buying a new piece.

it does look like your rear is higher but you only gave those angled shots which could be an eye trick
nice car anyway, i need to find a good local painter, seeing all these aftermarket bumpers is making me crazy

This ^^^^^^^^^^
Getting a new bumper from a vendor will run you at least 200 shipped to your door. Getting it painted will cost you a good couple hundred easily.. White, black, and silver is the hardest to paint match, so that the paint could end up in a horror story.

I gagged looking at that car.

OPs rear does look like it has a good gap between the bumper and trunk.
Hopefully eye trick + shadows + angles.

@Mattleegee, from my own personal experience. I just got my N2 kit painted. 1400 for paint and 500 for the kit itself, was a little outrageous.
Unless you got hook ups for paint, or if you don't mind paying, it's expensive.
If I knew it was going to be this much of a pain in the ***... I would have gone with a lip kit all around.
Veilside V1 lip. Veilside side underwings? Or even Chargespeed sides? Rear diffuser. All in sexy CF

Well... It's not just paint, there's about a 2-3 inch square hole punched in the middle of my bumper from a hit and run so cheaper to fix? Or buy a new one?? I guess I could ask my family friend who owns a body shop. And yeah my mom backed in to ithe corner of my rear bumper so that's why the fitment is a little off. But yea I'm on NF210 springs and the rear does seem higher then other people on the same springs or GF210's. I might just do the rear spring mount cut mod. To even it out. Also for my exhaust it's kind of a long story but my friend is givin me his HKS hi power single muffler so I'll have an exhaust soon. I have no flange on the end of my mid pipe to put my stock muffler back on. So I'm just going to weld the HKS hi power on. Thanks for the complementa everyone. If I do get a new front I might go with the same or find a cheap oem front and get a lip, but if I get a whole new front then I'm not sure which bumper to get. Maybe Nismo v3?? Or just another V2??? Agh I don't know.

im unsure what hit and runs claims do to your rates
its not a ticket so it doesnt hurt you that way, but a no fault still sits on your record... i dunno
most of the time its worth it to take care of it yourself if under $1000
accident could go on title also if insurance is used

Bumper getting fixed will run between 600-800 with paint. If Walt or someone can to the body work for you on the cheap might get lucky and get a spray for a few hundred.

Whats your deductable?
