Curb Damage...370z Nismo Front chin Bumper

EValentin1 · 11-07-2010, 06:46 PM

So today as I was backing out of a spot I cut the wheel too early assuming I was out of the spot enough ( I know amature move) and swiped the front bumper on the curb (the thing must be about 7 inches high...no way i was gonna win this one). I gotta admit it hurt deep down inside hearing that scaping sound. Then I saw it..

.and after cussing myself out and damning myself I realized getting this upset wasnt going to fix anything. Anyway so I was doing a search for nismo front bumpers and couldnt pinpoint the exact part #. Anyone have any idea? I also figured since its plastic it shouldnt be too hard for a body shop to fix and paint it rather than me dropping a few hundred dollars on a complete new bumper? Any help would be appreciated!

OUCH!Hate to see that but forget about replacing it, that cover is definately repairable. The lower part of the cover is going to be tricky as its textured and those parts aren't usually repaired.

they can just spray the bottom piece off the car in trim black and repaint your bumper ...

500-700 dollar parking spot

Sucks. Replacing the bumper will mean paying to replace and paint it as well, so you might as well just get yours sanded and painted. Probably $400-500.

Or you could do what some other guy is doing on here and just put a decal over it
