If the dog was just sitting there and didn't run out in front of you, shouldn't you have been able to avoid it if you were watching the road? Sorry, but I'm an animal lover would be pretty depressed that I killed a dog I could have avoided.

I was surprised I didn't have enough time to react tbh. It was dark there were no street lights and the speed limit out here is 75. It also doesn't help my driver side headlight was out.

I actually don't like the 15' nismo bumper. I was thinking about going stillen or amuse considering the entire front end was damaged. When I say front end I mean all the nismo specific plastic and liners.

I don't think there is any frame damage but im no expert. The front bumper and part of the lower headlight assembly/bracket and steering wheel is the only damage I have observed. Going to take the car in to the body shop tomorrow.

Man I totally understand!!! Earlier this year in my G I hit a raccoon and had to have the front bumper and radiator replaced!! I couldn't believe the damage, it was a raccoon. It ran out in front of me and I was going about 50 at night, but still I still can't believe it. It was a super loud cracking sound I can see now I'm lucky my air bag didn't deploy too. That sucks man I feel ya haha. That does suck for the dog too tho for sure I love dogs

i'm not sure why you guys say "i can't believe the damage" ... if you hit a chicken at high speed it will cause a lot of damage... you were going 70+ mph, hit a stationary object that probably weigh 15-20lbs...

10,000 dollars worth of damage. Anyways does anyone know if the stillen bumper fits with the nismo or base undertray and parts or do they send they're own?

Glad you're okay. And according to Disney, all dogs go to heaven.

All dogs go to heaven was a Disney Movie?

It was actually a Sullivan Bluth production. Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid released in theaters the same day.

The Nismo undertray does require some trimming to fit with the STILLEN Bumper. You can have your trimmed or purchase an OEM one from a standard Z.
