I still don't get why you don't fix the bumper? You're obviously capable, it just doesn't make sense to leave it the way it is.

It's late in the game, and I think everybody has decided to play nice based of the more recent posts I read, but here is my take.

At 20 years old, you are already more capable than the majority of the members on this website.
Many of us wish we had the equipment or know-how to repair our own paint and do things like shave trunks.

I believe the car could use a few things to look it's best right now, but there is no denying that with a little push in the right direction your car could potentially look better than a lot of ours.

You're trying to be different, and I can respect that because if we're honest, most of us want our ride to look the same as a 1/2 dozen different members here.

Candlestickpark
G35papa
VTEC
TTRank
SDGenius

I'm sure there are a few more, but those are the stars of this forum and most of us just want to look like them.

Do your thing, I'll be checking up on you periodically to see where you are. And I hope you use the talent you have and make your car look really nice.

I think you're like a baby D.Reaper. A little rough around the edges, but could really shine once your mods are refined a bit.

Check this dude out, he's silver too.

Not saying that's what you need to do, but this is what folks on the forum like to see. Just check it and take it for what it is.

The car isnt ruined. All he needs is to paint the lip and trunk. And maybe oem color on the wheels or a gun metal greyish. Thats all this car needs

Might want to re-investigate the pictures. The bumper is poorly alligned, though he did appear to do something with it, and has tape or something on it, the left front fender/bumpers all dented up, the drivers door doesn't close from what i see in pics, rear right valence missing, to start the list.

With those items fixed, the car would look half-way decent. The fact that a body guy hasn't fixed pieces that are either missing, falling off, horribly mis-alligned, etc, is mind boggling, to say the least.

Not my style and it's kind of an embarrassment to the other G owners but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Paint your trunk bodycolor and put a black mt fuji emblem, also bodycolor door handles, blk roof and get a nismo bumper. Trunk looks weird flat black since the rest of the accents are gloss
