Thanks to a bone-headed moment last Wednesday, I had to go ahead and take the G into the bodyshop for a little repair to the right-rear fender. Nothing serious at all, just enough to warrant a repair to my otherwise pristine coupe. But I'm being optimistic and just taking the opportunity to have them start the prep/paint/install of:

NISMO Front Bumper
Gialla Grill
Data Systems R-Spec Rear Spoiler

Still waiting on the NISMO Diffuser to arrive.


They said that they hoped to have it done by the end of the week, but I'm not counting on it. They look busy.

Pics will follow as soon as it's done. Until then, here's a couple of before pics to tide you over.





Sorry for the early post. Just had to run around yelling 'It's at the bodyshop! It's at the bodyshop!' I'm sure some of you can relate.

 

cant wait to see

 

I'm having them paint the Data Systems rear spoiler but not install it yet. I'm going to have to see it sitting on the car, from several angles, before I can decide if I want to run it or not. I love the clean look of no spoiler, but it might not work as well with the NISMO items added. We'll see.

 

I checked in at the bodyshop and the front bumper was removed, along with the rear (in order to repair a slight ding on the rear fender). I couldn't get in to see the NISMO front because the booth and bumper were still too wet. I could see it through the door.

They're working out how many coats of ivory and how many of pearl were used to get the same effect. They showed me 12 test panels (just for the pearl) and almost all of them looked so close it was hard to tell them apart. Hopefully they'll get a good match.

As soon as they get it right they can start painting and installing.

FWIW, he said the NISMO front bumper was a really good fit and he seemed pretty impressed with the quality.

I'll check back in with them in a couple of days. Hopefully I'll have completed pics by early next week.
