Wanna spend a stupid amount of money for tiny little "nicks" in the bumper?

Long story short, he had a fender bender with a white van. Causing the Pedestrain Saftey system to go off. Cost to fix? $11,000 pounds.
Hitting the tow bar of the white van

Does anyone know what the purpose of the Pedestrian Safety system is?
All it seems to do is give your hood the JDM tilt lol!

launches them overtop of the car as opposed to hitting the windshield?

it gives a cushion to the person when they hit the hood.

I hate it how manufacturers can pull this shit.
Was there anyway the guy could have gotten rid of the pedestrian system and bolt on normal hood adjusters?

hood thing is on a lot of euro cars cause they have to pass a pedestrian safety thingy... some cars just have a higher hood to over compensate for looks (the bmw "Z")
north america doesn't have that law.... yet... so continue buying your GTRs

Say that to pedestrians who are crossing the street legally who get hit by drivers doing illegal turns/running signs.
I've seen A SHITLOAD more bad drivers than bad pedestrians in my lifetime.

not much because normal cars don't need gtr mechanics to put back the hoods.

Downtown vancouver is not indicative of the rest of the world. Sure there are shitty pedestrines, but I rather live with incovenience of my car making it safer for head on collisions with predestrians rather than taking a life.

thats actually a pretty useful system.. but i think to replace the bumper, bonnet and ram is a bit of an overkill and not so environmentally friendly.

now what happens in a head on collision? doesn't that make the hood more likely to take your head off or something?

Go try crossing the street illegally in downtown London.
You'll fucking die. It's hard to not die when crossing legally there half the time.
