Yeah it's an actual city, lol. Car looks a lot better with the painted mesh and grille.

 

anyone know where i can buy some screens just like those for my kuruma z bumper? i tried some gutter guards from home depot but they aren't tall enough for the middle gap in the bumper. im trying not to have to buy the $75 ones from kuruma. thanks

 

OP, your car looks great now!

now i want a nismo bumper even more

 

Ugh, the Nismo and Inven bumpers looks so ****ing good! I can't deicde which one I want =(

I also think if you get the Nismo bumper, you gotta get a gialla grill. it just flows with the vents

 

the gialla is cool,but i rather keep the stock one, looks better to me IMO.
the nismo is great but the front really flares down more then the stock bumper.if i lower my car anymore its gonna be close to touchin the ground.i think the inven looks more aggressive.

 

thanks for all the opinions guys! appreciate it!

 

Lookin good buddy!

Stock grill stays nice and clean. You might look into the "Home Depot splitter" for the bottom of the Nismo. Its has saved mine several times and it looks like you are sitting low. Now go out and rock that ****

 

thanks brahhh ill look into that, btw what rims are you rockin?? those look like linea corse but not sure..the lip looks bigger.

 

NICE JOB OP, looks awesome ! and definitiely look into my patented HD splitter, lol, I posted some pictures for you below to get an idea of how it will look on your Nismo front, in the first picture you'll see a painted HD lip, color matched silver to the car giving it the appearance of being part of the bumper thus making the car look lower than it actually is, super aggressive




Nacho I've had both Nismo and now I got Inven front, the are both equally good lookin imo, I lean slightly more towards the Inven because it looks more OEM. What's funny though is that they both got 1 angle where you look at them and it doesn't look good, the shot from the top and side, lol.

tell me more about this Home Depot splitter please

 

Home depot splitter is a garage door finisher slapped on the bottom of any bumper with some red 3m tape. Looks good on some, looks like **** on others. Here's a picture of one of those crapbox neons with one:

 

Fail on picture post...^ I didn't realize the nismo above has one of the home depot lips already installed.

 

Parhamm, yea when I first started doing the splitters a few years back I went crudely about it, just the lip and that's it. It's been a while now and I've been doing them painted and reversed for a super clean look.
And I been trying to push that through so other guys will start doing it this way cuz as you can tell in my pics above, it looks way better than just slapping the lip on and leaving it as is, but it's not really catching on, I still see almost everyone doing it the old method how I first posted it back in 07.


edit: oh and I just realized looking at my last pic, that my Mt. Fuji emblem is crooked! damn gotta fix it now

 

What all did they have to take off and how much work was needed to get it fitting right? I have a Nismo replica, from Strafe, sitting in my garage but I've been having second thought about putting it on.

 

basicly all the inserts had to be made,the holes for the bumpers to clip on,the holes for the grill to insert in,and the 2 mesh ducts had to be superglued on because there were no inserts for that also.and they told me they had to shave the bumper itself just to make it fit correctly.if you look really close to my car theres a gap near the cars left headlight. but you have to see it in person
