I have one.

The car seems to be fine, thankfully. Physical damage seems to be minimal. I just need to look at in the daylight and see if the bumper cover itself got messed up or not. Last night it did not appear to be damaged other than my smattering of rock chips that were already there. My chin spoiler was already scraped all to hell anyway (from the previous owners), I might use this as an excuse to go ahead and replace it if it's not to costly. The lower grille insert is only $105 plus shipping. If that's all it takes to get my car back to looking the way it was, I guess I can't complain too much lol.

Let me know guys, I'd like to do it sooner rather than later. Willing to bring adult beverages in exchange for equipment "rental"

I'll be home today until 6PM, tomorrow I'll be around all day. Whatever works for you, I'm on Westmoreland and SC14 so only a ~15 minute drive or so I think.

Let's try to get at it tomorrow (new) Brandon. I am not sure I can even get there before 6p. I appreciate it, sir. Shoot me a pm with the address when you get a chance.

By the way, old Brandon...thanks. That's all I can say nicely. I can't get the sound of that exhaust out of my head and I really had funds planned for other things.

Just remember, it's your fault. I've told my wife about you too.

I got a brief chance to look at my bumper this morning and it is a little worse than I originally thought. It does appear that the lower grille going in broke some of the pieces on the bumper that hold it. In addition, there is a crack on the FRP that goes back to the grille about an inch long or so. I believe that if I can replace the lower grille insert and get it to stay in place securely somehow that most of the crack will be covered up. There is also some scuff marking on that lower area that I didn't see the other night.

I think my best option is to bring the car straight over to OG Brandon since we had been talking about getting it detailed anyway. If you have the tools needed to pull the bumper and I can get the replacement part in, maybe together we can knock all of this out at one point. I can send you some pictures OG Brandon if you want to see what I'm talking about.

My plan would be to get it as good as possible now and get it properly repaired by a body shop later after I get the car paid off and get all the rock chips fixed at the same time which was my original plan.

Thoughts?

I'm down, I'm sure we can get something going. I'll be gone until next Saturday but anytime after that I'm game. Send me the pictures.

Yeah, I'll need to get that grille insert ordered and I don't know what the lead time is on that. I'll look into that tonight. Thanks for your help, both Brandons

Hey guys, AV tuning is having a dyno day tomorrow. They have had them in the past and the turn out has been pretty good. I will probably head out there for a bit just to see what shows up. I'm assuming there will be some really nice GTRs in attendance. You can check out the post on thier website.
