Latest mod: Got tired of scraping my new Nismo fascia! It sits lower than base, and I am dropped on Swifts, so there was no other way. Was using some 2X6's before... Bridjit rolling curb ramps! Picked them up in person since they are local. Saved on shipping.

Well the body shop messed up. They originally painted the whole front bumper blue. I had told them to paint the grill area black but they forgot. They tried to play it off. When I mentioned it to them they were like "Oh yeah we are going to paint that black, we are not done." I said won't that cause an issue with rock chips? They said Nope. Well my better judgement said otherwise. Well I was right. After 3 weeks I was starting to see lots of little "blue" rock chips! Not good! I was like WTF! What's it going to look like in 6 months? Went back and they said "Sorry, we can't avoid that from the rock chips". They were willing to repaint it, but all that would do is prolong the apparenly quick return of rock chips. I just let it go. Not worth arguing over it and dealing with this BS. I will simply rattle can some Matt black High Temp engine spray paint and see if that holds up ok. Or I might try PlastiDip or black Vinyl. We shall see. Just waiting for the damn rain to stop already! Gotta love Seattle.

May 10, 2011. Nismo edition side skirts finally installed. Wanted to do them while I did the rear bumper but figured I'll do it now while it was nice out and I had some spare time! It's a flippin rare a$$ day when the sun is out and I hate doing mods in the rain. Good timing as the next day it was raining cats and dogs. I hope to get the rear bumper installed next...

I have them but a few of the snaps inside the side skirts broke. I think they can be glued in place though. They are in good shape otherwise. What a PITA to remove!

Looks great TJ!
When you do the Nismo rear bumper cover are you going to keep the OEM spoiler?
