That looks somewhat like that thin arc lip with those blades on the tips

Can't wait to see the actual product!

I have a black OEM grill now, the Gialla was only bought because I had an ARC oil cooler to put behind it. I sold the oil cooler so I went back to the OEM but I would like an emblem less.

Thanks for the advice guys, I might pick up some enkei wheels they are affordable so I could keep both sets of wheels. I am not stuck on the black either most sets come black so I might run them that color for a year then paint them silver ir gun metal I just impulse bought a N2O kit with all of the bells and whistles so I need to slow down the spending on the car a bit

In case you guys didn't see on my FB page, I was headed home from visiting my family in Kansas and going back to Texas. It was raining essentially all the way down, but still took it kind of easy on the highways.

Got into OKC, I hydroplaned and hit a wall. Damage so far, that I could physically see until the car gets to Baker Nissan and they look at it, is a bent and cracked rear driver's side wheel, bent tie rods, possibly warped sway bar, rear SPC arm snapped in half, and minor cracks and scuffs to my impul side skirts and Strafespeed rear bumper.

Let's just say, I'm lucky to be alive.

Edit: Cause I'm too lazy to upload to photobucket, below is an attached image of me taking my wheel off.

As said, car is replaceable ( and yes, even one such as yours ), but you're not.

Glad your ok Xin! I drive with crazy camber in the rain and always drive super slow. But sometimes that's not enought to prevent hydroplaning :/

Thanks for the concern everyone!

Wheel lip is both bent and cracked, inner and outer barrels. Face of the barrel seems to be okay, but some of the matte finish is coming off so I don't know if it is cracked underneath or not.

I already spoke with Lusso Forged and they're willing to either rebarrel the old face or get me a new wheel. I'm going to worry about my suspension first before I worry about a new wheel though.

Regardless, this is an excuse for my car to come back better than ever. It'll just be awhile.
