Lost front lip on freeway

My wife was was driving my g on the 14 fwy.I guess there were some objects in her lane and and could not avoid them. I did try to go back and look for it but it was so windy and with to much traffic I was unable to find it.Anyways this is the lip that fell off(nismo replica lip)Yes I know there isnt a nismo lip,This was a fabricated from the nismo bumper made as a lip. Im not sure if I should go with the same one I had before or a different one.I recently bought the ings air ducts. So I'm not sure which lip would look best.I currently have nismo rear diffuser and veilside side skirts.

That sucks especially when it gets damaged to. I had a Greddy lip that fell off my SI in the rain after going through what I thought was a small puddle. I complained enough to the body shop that installed it where they purchased another one for me and installed it.

Sorry about that! Dont blame your wife for it :-), Specially when you are in the busy fast traffic, mostly, you can't avoid something on the pavement! I got some 4x2 piece of wood almost knocked out my headlight. I couldnt'a void it when everyone are tailgate each others with high speed, glad that it didn't get my windshield.

Yeah it was painted black I was trying to keep the nismo look. My dad works on auto body and was planning in the future to get a custom paint job.I m still gathering body parts before I can paint.Now just missing the nismo rear fins and of course a new lip.
