Anyone else have this installed? I only know of 3 other people that have installed it and posted pics.

 

are you talking bout just the urethane version? because i know of alot of people who have this bumper installed and with pics but i dont think it was the urethane one from automotive mods. mines was the fiberglass replica and it fit fine.

 

Looks good

 

At least from the ones that posted on here and G35frenzy, they report that the overall result was satisfactory. Some common remarks:

-All/most seemed to have issues with the passenger side near the clear corners not matching up perfectly. A 1/8" off. I noticed you had the same issue on the driver's side.

-The bottom portion not extending far enough to properly attach to the chassis is another common remark from the others who have installed this bumper. The solution seems to be the same. Install a plate to extend the reach and bolt on.

-All of them remarked that there were some considerable work needed to properly prep the bumper for fit and paint. I'm not entirely sure what this means. Does this mean the bumper quality is so so and will take quite a bit of work and skill to prep properly? Or is this considered par for the course with replicas?

I think that wraps it up. Looks sweet! I really like the Nismo front, after seeing some nice installs.

Good Luck!

 

Wasn't the fitment of this bumper guaranteed to fit?

 

Technically it fit, it just wasn't perfect. There were a couple of issues and the deal was that if it didn't fit, you would have to pay for shipping to return it. To me, wasn't worth the extra hassle for issues that my installer took care of. All in all, all the lines matched up well, it's just the prep that was needed was not a small issue.

 

ive read about good fits and bad fits.............its the luck of the draw
