Well, just last night my Blitz front bumper got damage from coming back home from NOPI. I'm not sure if my side skirt need to be replace either. I was wondering, do you think the KAM front would go great with the RMM sides and TRD back skirt? Maybe you have something else you think looks good, let me know.
Thanks,
Dan

Yeah.. It hard to tell what the Kam front would look like in a pic with the RMM side and trd rear. It just a shame I have to get another front end in the begin with. My insurance told me to pay the first 500 then whatever it cost after that, they pay.

Ok here the story. Well about 12:30 am I decided to go home early to get a fresh start to get home. About 1 hour later while I was still in Georgia driving. Since most of you not sure how the road are setup in Georgia. The road were like a up and down roller coaster hills. Anyway, when your driving up these hills you don't know what on the other side of the hill. Well when I just got to the peak of the hill. Right just below that hill which you can't see, was a 7 foot wide and a foot and a half high debris object. The highway at that area didn't have lights. So that makes it even harder to see it. Well.. I had no way to react to avoid it, so I wind up hitting the debris. The whole debris went under the car and work it way to the end of the car. When it all happened all I saw was paint flying everwhere and scrapping noise from hell. I was like SH*T!!! So I pulled over to see what the heck happen. From that point I wanted to just cry and wish I knew who left the debris on the highway to kick his a$$. After that, a 18 wheeler started headed to the debris and ran over it sounding like a loud gunshot going off. That guy pulled over little down from where I was. Then a 4runner ran overed it and pop a tire. Right after that a 88 accord ran into it and his whole bumper got rip off. I was like:AF: This is nuts!! So I when under my car to see what else was damaged. The whole undercarriage plastic got rip off. My oil pan got bang up and who know what else is damage under there. My RMM side skirts got skidded and cracked the paint. Lucky those sides are able to be reprep up and painted again. My front bumper:wtc: was so mess up. Just to let you know I do have the poly version, not the fiberglass one. I even had support bars on the bumper in case something like this happen so it won't get rip off. I thank my brother for the idea on that. If it wasn't for the bars my radiator would of been so damage, but lucky it didn't do anything to it. My rims were fine but the driver side front rim got nick but too bad. "Knock on wood" Once that was all over, I started heading my way home.
When I got home I showed my brother what happen, and he said my front bumper can get fix but need alot of work. This is why I posted to see what front would look good for my car. That way I know what to get if the body shop reject my bumper cause I need a new one. The craziest thing about this was, when I look up at the sky after I hit the debris, it was a full moon that night. Now tell me that was one hell of a night for myself and my car. LOL!!

Man...sounds like you lucked out and that things could have been worse. I mean, what happened to you was bad, but it sounds like the Accord and 4Runner had it ever worse. I never understood how idiots could leave things in the road and not care about it. Good luck.

Well I went to the Body shop and they said I need to replace my bumper. I was also thinking about the Octane front bumper. What you think about this front end with my RMM sides?

I heard that the Octane front fits like crap. You're going to have to do a lot to make that sucker fit right.

Someone on this site has that combo. It looks really good. Thats actually what I want to get when I come up with the money. I bet if you did a search for "kaminari and RMM" or something like that you could probably find some pictures.

Well I did went ahead and got the Octane front. If their a problem with the fit, then the body shop will have to handle that. Since now the insurance is going to pay for it. I also like the KAM front too. But to me it look more stock looking. I really wanted to go for a more of a aggressive look. That why I went with the Octane front. I hear some people say that it fit really good. Just have to wait and see. So what you think? Octane front RMM sides and TRD rear and wing.
