westwood after you ordered it how long did it take to get to you.

Basically what day did you order, when did it ship out and when did it arrive

if you want it black and it needs paint, I suggest satin black spray paint. I did that on my veilside lip on my 350z after scraping it, and anytime it needs a touch up, you can just hit it with the rattle can and the satin always blends in on spot repairs.

around 10 including shipping! well maybe less cuz it takes more time for the CF so maybe 5 days in your case.

edit: ask Ken if your lucky he might have a lip in stock. if its on stock youl have it fast cuz they ship via fed ex.

I think I just read this post in a different named thread...

Yes, the Shine lip will cover it for sure...and looks great

ddvette9 · 11-03-2010, 10:33 AM

UPDATE...Ordered the evo-r. Whatever it doesnt cover im lightly sanding down and putting vinly "fairlday z" at an angle above the lip to cover whatever damage the lip doesnt covers. SHould bea great solution, ten when i get back to tampa i can have the bumper done by someone I know and then put the evo-r back on. WHat do you guys think of my plan?

My boy yung tony said no problem, whatever th lip doesnt cover he will sand down for me and place my vinyl overlay over the exposed scratches as a temp solution.

.... seriously ^

dude... why don't you just paint the bumper then buy a lip.

cover it with a sticker, really?

spearfish25 · 11-03-2010, 11:20 AM

We give out stickers in our medical clinic to children. I'll send you some just in case you get scratches elsewhere on the car. Balloons and candy canes would look nice on a Z.

Seriously though. What happened to the Shineauto idea? That seemed to be the easiest solution. There's no point in rushing to get this fixed in a half-a$$ed way. Either repaint and then lip it or get a lip that completely covers the damage. A lip that doesn't hide the damage followed by a sticker followed by taking it all apart to repair is a waste of energy.

And how did this happen? I see you have a donut on the front right in the photo too.
