Scrape front lip?
 
How often do you guys scrape your fronts? Any of you going to replace that black duffuser soon? Seems like a good thing, as you don't have to paint. But it costs like $400.

You can't really see the scratches unless you're laying on the floor looking up lol. Those 400 bucks could be better spent on something else. IMO :)

so far, thank god, its all black not something white or yellow that they painted black that after the first scrape it sticks out, just dont rub anything brighter than the bottom haha

Mine was scrapped when I took delivery, did not see it until I put on the CAI.

Check out Courtesy Nissan

Front bumper: $315

Front diffuser: $225

I scrape the front diffuser multiple times a day.

I scrape mine at least twice a day, pulling in and out of my driveway. Figure it makes a nice buffer between the concrete and the painted bumper. :p

The Nismo Diffuser is more expensive and bigger over base...

ive scraped mine maybe 2-3 times since ive owned it. however, my nismo will be dropped on kw v3's this weekend. lets hope the scrape count stays under 5! :ugh2:

I scrape at least 3 times a week if driving everyday. Im only lowered 1". Be mentally prepared or have your radio turned up. Its almost impossible not to damage that black lip when lowered. Can't see it anyway less you strap a mirror to your shoe.
Nismo bumper 700
Nismo diffuser 475

been there done that.
When I saw those prices posted above I was ready to order 2 of each.lol

Does this count as a scrape? :p

front stress crack?
 
noticed this on my 2010 today and wondered if it could have resulted from one too many scrapes on speed bumps etc. up close it appears the dent/cracks welled up from the inside and a friend said its likely from stress when getting scraped. while i try to take speed bumps and the like at an angle i have definitely scraped the bottom on a number of occasions :o any other thoughts on what could have caused this? and what it would cost to fix? i'm not sure if the warrranty would cover it, thanks

Hmm, so do you just leave it there, or do you pull it out each time you pull in/out of your driveway? I'd be afraid of someone stealing it if I left it out there.
