Default Sign said STOP I said NO

I swerved to avoid a jackass who cut me off, I regain control of my car just in time....to hit a stop sign.

ImageShack Album - 3 images

Ignore the white parts in the pic, that's just the flash. I think I got away ok. While the bumper was not cracked, or dented I still don't think I can save it because the plastic part is scrapped.

Also, nobody stopped, no cops were called so I'm just goint to leave it at that.

I'm so frustrated right now, but at least it's just scrapes, and I totally owned the stop sign. Snapped that hoe clean off it's base.

Edit: could a mod change the title to "Sign said STOP I said NO!"

I got my buddy at the dealership getting me the bumper at his cost, he'll give me a call with a quote(unpainted) tomorrow. I'm going to see if it's worth it, I might just get a Nismo bumper!

Is there a vendor on here that sells OEM and aftermarket bumpers? I would like to look at some prices and/or styles.

ouch... i suppose you can get a CF fang cover for the bottom and have the remote airbrush guys at the used car lot touch up your top side... if you want to go that route.

personally i'd just order a new bumper and have the fang area unpainted and just install myself.

buhahahaha ! I never said such thing . I swear to my Z, I was thinking about this two days ago. After hours of brainstorming, I couldn't figure out what I'll call the section. Then I gave up and fell asleep. . Pm me suggestion .
