ETA is about 4 weeks out. the good news, the test car also has nismo sideskirts. so debating if that will be a good combo for the ait/ings front.

arch, can you possibly refund my deposit, ETA was 7 weeks, ive been waiting with a broken bumper thats tied up by a string. I think im just going to buy a fiberglass bumper. I had been told that you guys were very efficient and on schedule. I understand the delay is from unforeseen circumstances, but I really cannot afford to wait anymore.

ETA was not 7 weeks. It was minimum 7 weeks, as in that's how long it takes from start to finish to build the mold and start producing the bumper (if all goes to plan) which this did not.

Personally I would prefer the bumper to line-up and flow with the Nismo sides. I believe some of the other guys in this GB have them already as well. When I signed-up for this poly bumper deal I wasn't planning on purchasing additional side skirts. Also, if there isn't plans on making a matching rear bumper/lip I don't really see the point.

Well if they're making skirts, the bumper should match the skirts that go with it... I'm fine with it hanging a little lower than OEM. Now that I have my OEM on I have tonnes of space.

Please keep the skirts OEM height or just lower a little because I'm already on 2x8s to get a 3" jack under my car.

So bumper, just lower than OEM? (maybe 1/2" if that) Whose in?

Works for me, I'm pretty much over scraping all the time. I was also thinking it would be nice if the bumper could fit nismo rep inserts?
