Need Opinions!! Shave bumper or not

I Run L.A. · 04-23-2010, 08:55 PM

I want your opinions. I'm really confused as to which route i should take.
First off the car is black. Someone backed into me while the car was
parked. Very minor damage was done but I do need to paint my front bumper, so i figured i would change the look a bit. I'm stuck between either shaving the front Nissan hamburger, or purchasing the Z front emblem from THE Z STORE.

See PICS below. (I FOUND THIS PIC ON HERE I FORGOT WHO THE CAR BELONGS TO)
NOTE: Car will have matte black fangs and also matte black headlight
housing.

Hey Sal,

I like the cleaner look...

i like the Z emblem. You should also clear bra as long as you have a new painted bumper.

i agree with both comments. The Z emblem looks pretty cool and clear bra FTW

If it was between shaved and that carbon fiber "side marker", then I would go with shaved

Or you could do black, it would be there, but blend in stealth like.

Emblems!

Don't like at all without them, the car loses his identity (let some glory for Nissan who designed this fabulous car! At least put a "Z" emblem

)

That's sweet shaved Z is mine. I'd do it over again for twice the price...

??...Sure they do...

I would shave it.

Dealership owner did advise me against it because if not done very well the filler tends to crack easily because of the plastic bumper
