I got a quote $1,156 for the bumper not painted including tax. What you think?

 

daaaaaaamn, that's pretty pricey, I'd rather go Top Secret

 

why not just get the replica. even the authentic is fiberglass.

 

I have the top secret, but there is still a little fitment issue. top secret is just as much too.

 

Replica is much cheaper but is a win a lost, so if you get a bad one to make it fit perfect will end up costing just as much,

 

i'm kinda confused by this statement..you already have a top secret bumper?

I'm assuming that the Nismo bumper will still have minor fitment issue. My beef is that you're getting a minimal face lift for close to $1200, when you can get something more drastic for around the same price. Unless that's the look you were going for, then it's all up to you! They'll both look good IMO.

 

i dont know where but i've seen it for $800 or so brand new authentic

 

Yeah I got the Top secret right now, I got it because I was thinking of turbo and the bumper would look nice with the intercooler. But now I am not and having the top secret with that large gaping hole is not all that great looking. I thought about putting the mesh but trust me it looks cheap and ugly. THat is why I was thinking of getting another bumper.

 

hmm, there isn't much choices in terms of full bumpers for the G...if you like the Nismo bumper, than go for it! My heart will always have a soft spot for Top Secret :P

 

If it's brand new in box, then it's not bad. Forget about getting replica. Don't go cheap because you are asking for trouble when it's time to get it fitted.

It will also make you feel good when you know you have an authentic Nismo in the front. It's worth every penny when it's all painted and installed.

Look forward to see some pictures.

 

Where did you order your Nismo bumber? I am thinking of getting one but I did not seems to find any online source for it.

 

I forgot the actual amount but the guy quoted me wrong, the final price in canadian dollars is for $1,300 somehthing. They have a homepage fairly well know in Toronto but I did not realize that the owner knows my dad and he is cutting me breaks. So if you want it let me know but is local pickup I am not sure will he ship to Ottawa for you.

Anyways I decided not to go with the nismo so I am going to install my TS bumper and hood. I hope to have it ready by the Oct Niagra meet but I need to talk to the painter to see if he has time for me.

 

I am interested. I come to Toronto (Scarborough) almost every month to visit my Mom. PM me and we can work out the detail from there. Thanks.

 

where did you order your bumper from? I'm trying to shop around for prices on other JDM kits.

 

Speedstar, call for Albert tell him Eric sent you he will hook you up as best as he can. Going to get some BRIDE seat from him.
