Body Shop is Trying to Install My Sport '05 Lip on a Sport '06 Bumper
Hey fellow enthusiast. Here's my current issue that i need help with.
Last week I had put my G35 '05 Sport Coupe into the body shop to get some painting done. I purchased a new front bumper since the old one had a bad crack in it. The replacement bumper is an '06-'07 Sport bumper.
Today, I received and email stating the lip on the '05 bumper is cracked and needs to be fixed prior to installing it on the sport bumper.
I called and emailed the body shop alerting them that there is no need to use the lip from the old bumper, since the new bumper has a built-in lip. The shop owner stated that he knows, but figured I would want to add the lip since it doesn't have that special '05 flare and stance. I proceeded to ask if the '05 lip will even fit on the '06 Sport bumper. He stated it should and will send me pictures later on today.
I'm still wondering if the lip will fit and even if it did, should I install it? I think the new '06 Sport bumper will grow on me in due time. What should I do? Thanks.
