Can't FI because I have 2 child support payments and with the price of gas it might as well be 3

I'll stay clear of the Nismo-Kenstyle combo

 

I plan on going Kuruma front, greddy sides, and Kenstyle rear, with staggered rims. Do what you think looks good. And +1 on gas being like a child support payment...

 

if u got money to blow and insurance is paying for it then kuruma. If you got to pay for that then Nismo.

 

decided to go with the Nismo for now because the paint shop said it would be about $1000 to prep and mount everything. Dont understand how it went from $200 for the bumper to $1000 but anyway I'll keep it simple for now till I get my wheels, then I'll change it up a bit

 

If the $1000 is not including the price of the bumper itself, then you're getting ripped off. Find another shop.

 

really depends on what kinda look you wanna go for...if you want that "clean" look go for the nismo but if you want it to stand out and be very noticeable then go kuruma

 

If they are charging you $1000 to paint, prep and install a bumper, and you are willing to pay that, then you should have no problem affording the Kuruma. Try a different shop...

 

where do you live? im sure someone could recommend you a cheaper place

 

Yell well I figured that was too much so I called the shop that did some Insurance work on my other car (great work) and asked them if they would still do the work if I went with an aftermarket bumper and they said they would so I'm just gonna use them. My concern was since my insurance is paying for it I didn't think they would allow me to go aftermarket.

 

I'm in Orlando and I was gonna use MAD MODS who originally quoted me $200 to prep and mount but he has moved to Fort Lauderdale. He said he could still do the job by coming up to Orlando and fitting it then taking it back to Fort Lauderdale to paint then bring it back to install but it seems like it will take longer if I do that.

If anyone can recommend another shop I'm open to suggestions

 

you should go to the florida section of the forum. theres alot of G members in Orlando that im sure are more than willing to help you out!

 

Don't get the Kuruma. There are too many on the roads these days. I only know on one Nismo front.

Samuel's Auto Body near Sanford Florida does good work. They aren't the cheapest place in town though.

The insurance company will give you a check. You can do whatever you want with that check. You don't even have to fix the car.

 

got the check and I'm still shopping for a bodyshop. I called Samuels and left a vm. I really wanted to use Mad Mods cause he quoted me $400 for the bumber and drivers side fender (has a bad paint chip) and everyone else is saying about $400 for just the bumper.
