What a way to start my V-day....... Any idea how much it will cost to replace? This puts a dent into my Vegas trip that I was taking next month.


Cliffs
Snowed sunday/monday
Pulling out of the Driveway
Hit snow bank


Do not want to go through insurance since preimum will go up. Plus $500 deductible

I work for a dealership so I hope that I can get a discount through the bodyshop they use.




I found a place online through ebay that will sell me a new bumper and paint it for $400 but idk if i should do it. I dont want it to not match.

 

Thats a new bumper you need! that blows!

 

What did you do to man??

 

Hit ice at the end of the driveway, i had just put my hids in the fogs too.

 

Dude

That sucks.

I found the part for about$300 at the website below. Hope this helps,

This happened to my old Altima but it wasn't that bad. Only had a dent. Goes to show how thin these bumpers are nowadays.

 

you can find primed front bumpers on eBay and stuff for cheap too, good way to save money if you know the body shop guys and can get a deal on paint.

 

Thank you!

 

I would have never thought that a bumper would crack like that, i have heard of bumpers bending and paint cracking but that's kind of weird... nissan must of started to make these bumpers out of cheap material... I would suggest you plastic welding the pieces of plastic back or other pieces and putty it up have it sanded primed and professionaly painted should run you at about 150.

 

How about buy a Stillen lip to cover it up.... I think that would save you more money than a repair. Plus it's a mod too

 

the stillen lip wont cover that, the lip rides the lower edge of your car and the smashes part near the fog light would be clearly visible

 

Im probly going to just wait till I get back from Vegas. Early April so that I can also get my rear valance painted aswell as my roof done.

 

rock auto. They are pretty good. 5% discount codes can be had pretty easily.

If you work at a dealership, consider using your discount there on the bumper as well. There is significant markup. When I worked at a dealer they offered 25% off parts and 50% off labor. I would imagine it is a similar situation at any halfway decent dealer. Once you combine the basic cost of an aftermarket bumper + shipping you might come close to the same price at the dealer with your discount. The nice thing about a dealer purchase is the warranty that nissan will offer on the part and installation, even with your discount.

 

That sounds like a good idea cause you never know you might win the jackpot there. If you do win, you'll probably buy a Lambo and all your problems are solved.

 

Yes I would do above and maybe also a grill at same time since
Bumper will be off

 

Problem is that its a Chevy Subaru dealership and they dont have a body shop but we use a very well known one so atleast i can get some kind of discount on labor.

 

Im actually going to be doing this with the new Aventador

PLEASE post pics of the Lambo and thanks for the link. I've always wanted to drive my dream car (Lexus LFA). I heard they are super smooth in high speeds

 

Will do . To bad no LFA....yet!

 

Damn, I’m jealous Joker. I'll also be in Vegas next month (9-12), but the track won't be available when I’m there. I was planning on driving that GT-R and breaking the course speed record!

 

Whats the record? I want to unleash the lambo. I already taught my buddy how to launch the 458 Italia (launch control) now we just got to see if the instructor will notice.

 

The show I watched said the record was 140. I think that's low for these exotics, but maybe the track isn't set up for top speeds?

 

OMGGGGG I JUST HIT MY REAR!!!! AND DI THE SAME THING BUT WORSE!

 

WOW…………… pics??

 

So you got it from the back?




Post pics and vent young Padawan.
