Kuruma Z Bumper on 06 G35c with T-Boned Pictures

Well on 01/26/07 I was driving pass a gas station when some girl
coming out decides to T-bone the hell out of my car.. She must
have floored it out of the gas station and not seen my car at all..
well it went in the shop on 1/30/07 and I finally got my car back..
After almost 8 weeks of waiting i got it back today 3/19/07..

Well here is my brand new 06 with 1month old with only 2000 miles..


Well I was able to order an aftermarket bumper.. I was scaried
that my sides were not going to be low enough.. I think its b/c
of the 06 sport suspension Sides... but i think it came out
better than i thought.. But body shop did a real good job..








Ohh yah.. my car is lowered on oem revised 350z springs..
If people wanted to know how 350z springs looks..
It droped the front very nicely but back still the same..
But I was wondering roof spoiler? or No roof spoiler?

Definitely helps having the splash guards...matches up with the front bumper better. Looks good.

Well Its the mesh from CZP and the shop that did my car is called
GT Motorcars.. They mostly do high end Mercedes and Porsches
in Gainesville.. but b/c the girl was paying for the damages i took it
there.. and they were willing to do the paint and install as long as
i bought the bumper myself.. but they said it took alot of prep
and fitment wasnt perfect but they knew what they were doing
soo i dont have fitment issues...

Well I took the brake caliper apart and then painted them individually
with 5 layers of gold and 1 layer of clear.. they came out better in
person.. I just wished that the 06s still had the brembos..

Yea the shop is super professional.. except the fact that they are
always busy.. and takes 2 months to finish your car.. they mostly
do mercedes from the Mercedes Dealership in Gainesville.. but
even my paint friends cant tell that this car has been repainted..

They did a bang up job of refitting the panels and matching the paint. Bumper looks great, maybe reconsider some lower side skirts like a few mentioned..

You got your money's worth on that fix.

Good job.
