I was driving this morning on I-10 and couldnt swerve fast enough to avoid what looked like a big plastic planter that a bush or a tree comes in when you buy it from a store. It was about 2ftx2ft so pretty big. knocked the **** out of it so now I need a new bumper. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

**** Dave that sucks big time, can you turn it into insurance???

 

[dave079]

I wish Jinx. I have a $1000 deductible

:banghead: Well at least you get to start fresh w/ a new bumper, no more rock chips, or do you have clear bra?

 

[dave079]

No clear bra thank goodness. I had a small crease that i couldnt stand looking at anyway. So like you said at least I will have a fresh bumper all over again

 

[nismokid]

That sucks You've had some bad luck with the front bumper area. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Are you going to replace it with OEM? Or aftermarket?

Havent decided yet. I have found an extremely good price on an OEM. $360 shipped brand new and painted

 

[jetpilot718]

What about that CF one they make.. you can spray that and it looks like the NISMO front bumper.

 

[dave079]

Actually just went and pushed the huge dent out of it and it looks halfway normal now. Good temp fix for the time being. Will make my desision this week on what i will do.

$245 PLUS SHIPPING FOR NEW! (not painted)


A little slow at work figured I would practice looking up some parts!


Sorry to hear about the accident! It could have been worse!

Let me know if you need a bumper!


Zachary

 

[dave079]

Bummer Dave...sorry you got dinged ....again. If you need the paint codes for SS let me know...mine has been re-painted 3 times now..make sure the use DBC base (not Global) or it will be too dark.

Thanks a bunch Kenny. I wil find out monday what i am going to do with it. Regardless I will definately need a paint code. Do you happen to have it now? Thanks!

 

[smoothz]

Oh, ****. :doh: I would seriously think of going aftermarket, like the Vertex.

I hate highway trash!

Yes...listed as WV2 on the plate...I think...but here is the PPG code match...
Correct paint code for SS = (sparkley silver) PPG #BC 5873 B
Correct base coat = DBC...do not use Global base coat...TOO DARK

Vertex is sweet...hard to get just one piece...If you want the front I'll pay for the rear...

Well, the silver[stone] lining here is that you came out of this unfortunate event physically unscathed (except for the bumper $$ deduction). We HATE when these things happen and we'll say things like "Why Me?" - but unlike the human kind, those auto body parts are definitely replaceable. :doh:

Hey, it could have been a lot worse - I'm sure I speak for all in saying that we're glad that you're okay after that mishap. :cheers:

Then again, this may be a good excuse for you to go with a different look up front. :shiftdrive:

Sorry to hear about the bumper Dave. Like Frank said, it could have been a lot worse.
