I am beginning to think that Mr. Kenchan's evasiveness about where he lives and whether he is truly Asian or not may be due to something related to the Witnesss Protection Program. Food for thought.

sorry to see this. definitely make a claim. but i would probably talk to my insurance guy first giving him a copy of the invoice for the bumper and paint... and have them take care with the village claim.

We had our big monthly meet yesterday so I took my time and washed my car as well as put on my nice V2 bumper:

Went to pickup my friend from his house and the street he lives on was really, really bad but didn't see how bad until I went through it and ruined my bumper:

Closeup of the damage with a sticker temporarily holding things up:

I will be calling the city he lives in tomorrow and insisting that they pay for the damages since it was their fault for not smoothing out the street after recent repaving.

Good luck with that claim. Lowered car with non-stock bumper.

I'm not trying to be a smart arse, because I'm in the same boat since lowering my car and putting on a Nismo nose. I scrape the nose every day pulling out the driveway. The City is going through the neighborhood now resurfacing streets. If they raise mine anymore, I won't be able to get out.

I've already broken two retaining screws in the fender well. We installed a ramp/grate becuase everyone was scraping leaving the driveway. I'm still scraping. it's a function of the pitch of the driveway in relation to the street.

Love the look, so I'll live with the consequences. I hope all works out for you, so keep us posted.

If you see the photos of the intersection I took you can see how poorly they left the pavement, literally everyone even stock height normal sedans are scraping through there. I had no chance

I'm hoping I can get them to pay for it but if not no worries, I will just eat the cost.

I normally have the OEM bumper on the car and put on my V2 for meets/events if time permits.

I see. That's a nice arrangement to have swappability (sp?).

I am awaiting taking the 370 to the shop in the morning for the steering lock replacement. Meanwhile, here is a shot from last weekend's photoshoot at Tower Bridge. This is me and Eric (not a Z guy, but a major photographer and geneticist). My son Colin shot this.

Let us know how it turns out ,b/c I'm curious when I installed my "D" lock I noticed that when it disengages it is a little louder and it does it with more authority see if your does the same.(you will have to be in a quiet place when you check it ,it is not that loud)
