#15731, "My front bumper is smashed to shit..."


          

Well, the other day I was crusing at around 35mph and hit a speedbump. My sensei front is fucking low to the ground anyway and had already been smashed a little bit before this event, but bow it's pretty bad.

The fiberglass skid plate on the underside of the front has come off in some areas.

There are spiderwebs and visible cracks in my front.

Both of my foglights have been shattered.

On a scale of one - ten I rate this bumper with a 7.5 It really hold up well to abuse. ANYWAY, the bumper is a little too low for my tastes, so I'm going to have my body shop cut it in half and remove 1.5" all the way around, raising the front up. They will also fix all the cracks and repair my skid plates, ALSO, they are going to remove the peice of fiberglass that hangs down (to mount a front liscence plate), AND add RhinoGuard to the bottom of my skid plates (that hard plastic stuff in the bed of trucks, this keeps you fromt actually scraping your car) all for $325 painted.
I'm not sure wether I will have this done in time for Daytona though, we'll see. emoji

I was thinking of getting that bumper, it is really that low? how much did you lower your car?

My coilovers are weapon R and they are at the highest setting. (2.25" drop) anyway, I can barely wedge my shoe under my front bumper.

I have the same problem with my blitz. I am taking off my lowering springs and looking for stocks now because the shit is so low but it looks hot just can't drive like that.
