I didn't post about it on the forum, but I got t-boned about a month ago by a girl who decided not to stop when the sign told her to. Insurance wanted to total the car (and give me 4k) but I refused and told them to fix it. Anyway, I finally got it back today and I have two major complaints.

1. at some point the plastic trim around the radio got cracked.. it went to three different shops so I don't know who to point the finger at.

2. they didnt give me a new front lip spoiler. It wouldn't be a big deal, but the more I look at that stock front bumper the more I hate it. How much do those bumper covers go for? It's brand new, painted ultra red. I was thinking about goin for a GTR front bumper or something and just selling the stock one, cause if I'm not mistaken, the lip itself is gonna run about $200. What do you guys think? Anyone lookin to do a trade?

Who installed your radio? Or at leas,t who had a reason to get behind there? Seems like a lot of shops who install them can't figure out the very difficult task of unscrewing the metal mount that the outer palstic trim attaches to, end up pulling the plastic trim real hard, and breaking it.

you could get a gracer lip oem sideskirts, that would look pretty good and wouldnt cost too much. i personally would not get a gtr bumper unless you were gonna get some sideskirts or somthing to finish it out. if you have access to cheap paint a full body kit isnt really that costly, i ordered a full bomex kit for a little over 500. ebay ones are like the same price and they dont fit, *shrug*
