You know, I've grown pretty fond of mine as well and have decided to keep it around for a while too! :?

The sun is shining for the first time in a while here and I got a good look at the full extent of the damage to the nose - the paint is full of spider web cracks in four places. I've got a meeting set-up with State Farm early next week. For what it is going to cost to remove the clear bra, sand down and fix the bumper, I wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper to just start over with a new one. They only cost $550 new. That's for the insurance company to decide.

While I was waiting for my ride to pick me up, I looked at a new Nismo on the showroom floor. The bottom edge of the front spoiler has to be a good two inches higher than mine. The drop turned out to be a lot more than expected.

Look for a new avatar soon.

yah, the nismo has taller front springs/stock combo vs base. tj confirmed this when he did the swap.

as for the spacers and offset, your car will look lifted with those spacers on. i think your front nismo wheels are ET42 so i would recommend a 10mm spacer up front and rear. the rear might be okay with 5mm spacer.

Thanks! I was thinking about changing spacers anyway. Once I get the car back, I'll be able to tell what I need. I was thinking about 10mm all around.

I guess that will involve changing the studs again since I got H&R DSR spacers. Can you change 5mm and still use the same studs?
