That's a good idea but there's plenty of clearance now that all of the paint chipped off.

Mine is exactly the same way

I didn't notice it until I had pulled the bumper off for my intake install.

Seems common on the NISMO.

If history repeats itself (which supposedly it does, or at least people throughout history keep saying that... ) I'll be getting the car sprayed at some point anyway and I'll just have them do the bumper cover at the same time.

At least for now I can relax and follow dump trucks too closely and do full speed runs into those dumb geese crossing the street.

First chip: DONE

Really I'm just a little bummed right now. I aired the tires up to 41 psi (hot, just drove it 30 miles, driver's front was only 37 psi!) and took it for a spin without the wife which included a few fast turns, and I think maaaaybe the shakes are gone between 70 - 90.

But it still feels really darty and the steering is much lighter at 70 than at 50. I'm convinced the toe is at 0 and goes to toe out when you're at higher speeds.

My '12 would cruise 80 like it was nothing, this car is a real handful at 75, especially in the rain.
