Worst feeling in the world is crashing your G :/ I useta scream "hit me" when someone would get close to me so I can repaint my car lol but it's honestly the worst feeling in the world. I actually Hit someone because they decided to turn and changed their mind without a signal + me with my heavy foot . (First accident too)
Anyway yes I'm getting my entire hood , fenders and front bumper repainted so no more rock chips 😉
I got a local shop going to paint and do all that is needed but I suggested that I wanted a aftermarket nismo bumper and he said It's something we can do so I hate finding old threads with 04 pricing. I need something more recent please ...it needs to be around the 280-400 at max .. Does anyone have suggestions good fitment and good price ? Heres a picture of her , she will be all better soon :/
Go with a sport bumper, that's what I did. Fitment is perfect (obviously) and you can get unpainted ones for pretty cheap. Or someone's old rock chipped one for even cheaper. It's a nice cross (aggressive-wise) between the non-sport and something more extreme like a Nismo or inven.
Well I'm fairly new to the G and my first instinct was to get a sports bumper and when I was looking to buy one I couldn't any at all .. They were all super old .. But I'll look again .. Thanks for the advice if I don't find one I have seen OG and their Nismo is pretty clean and a lot of people like their stuff ..
Will a aftermarket bumper like Nismo have all the screw holes for the factory chin guard or under scrape plate ? And wheel guards that attach like the original bumpers?
Sup benny I feel for you, i'm in the same position but a lot worse I've gotten my headlights replaced to CCFL halogen projectors and a new nismo bumper. Bumper was for $225 from a local parts shop
Yea I went with the nismo from OG its arriving tomorrow afternoon and I can take pictures of it when it comes .. I'm hoping it'll fit good and look great so we'll see .. The sport bumper wasn't enough for me to want it .
Got my hood, bumper, both fenders and some rear right painted. Here's a picture of the nismo bumper was a great fit thanks OG ! I recommend them highly and so glad I went with the nismo bumper .. Gonna put a 2 inch or 1 inch drop soon to finish it off . Only thing that didn't fit I was told was the factory skid plate underneath but idt he tried to put it on because it was kinda mangled up ..
The shop I took it to charged the insurance top dollar to get the extra stuff done that I wanted . But I think they quoted it at 2600 at first then I nearly doubled. Everyone should have full coverage on these cars because the repair cost is ridiculous the light alone they said was 1k ... My advice put full coverage on if you don't have it and report it in a week or so .. Theres no telling what's under the fender and bumper that's damaged .

yea.. i do have full coverage, but a $1000 deductible.. i figure it's not even worth fixing if the cost is ~$1200...
