Back from bodyshop! (bumper/grill/spoiler)

Finally got the car back from the body shop after the getting a minor dent repaired and having the following installed




NISMO Front Bumper & Gialla Grill


DATA SYSTEMS R-Spec Rear Spoiler



Expecting the NISMO Diffuser to arrive very soon as well. Also have some overlays on the way for the headlights and plan to get some Volks (No, not those ) before too long.

Yeah the front plate is a no-no and I would need some more pics of the spoiler to make a better judgement.

GT-Ron, did you get to see the pics I posted w/ the hood installed?

Looks good! Can you take more pics of the front end at various heights?

Seriously... that front plate on the nismo front makes me cry.

Yeh, forgot to mention that I FORGOT to tell the bodyshop to fill the holes in the bumper. It was painted when I saw it and was instantly bummed. I was ready to get the car back so I figured I would let some chips develop and make sure I didn't crunch it up right away and then I'll take it back in. Believe me, it catches my eye every time. Oh well, there are other small things I want to do when the diffuser arrives anyway.

License Plate: They enforce the front-plate law in this state, possibly with the exception of the biggest cities. I'm not interested in creating any reason to be hassled. Besides, when everyone else runs one it doesn't seem so out of place. BUT, I did spend the money on the LP bracket so I SHOULD HAVE removed the fugger for pics. I'll get it next time. And if they aver repeal the front LP law requirement here, off it goes and in pops the plug!

LP holes: That's right. You'll be dissapointed too when you open the box to reveal your new NISMO front bumper was pre-drilled for JDM and the US plates! 6 F'n holes!! >_< HaHa!! Me pee in your Coke! >_<

I had a really hard time deciding if I wanted to run it. In fact, the trunk isn't drilled, it's all 3M'd on there. It wasn't until it was painted and set on that I decided I wanted it on there. Of course, knowing that I can remove it at some point made it easier.

I think it compliments the NISMO front pretty good. Wasn't certain that it would when I ordered it, as I don't think I saw this combo posted before ordering.

Thanks. And when are you going to submit your ride to a magazine for a big spread?

I think you are the only one that didn't get them filled in though at the body shop.

After double-checking my list of stuff (yes, I took one so I wouldn't forget something), it looks like it was the bodyshop that overlooked it.

...It was sooo hard not to tell them to pull it off right there and redo it. It will get done with the other stuff.
