Re: Top Secret front bumper installed (pics)

I had thought of trying to stick the stock grille back in there, but it would be quite a job, to be honest I'm sort of glad that part is gone, really transformed the car.

Thanks for the compliments guys..

Re: Top Secret front bumper installed (pics)

I was salivating for this bumper as well along with the side skirts. I didn't get a good look at the rear bumper, but after going to the Top Secret website and seeing a couple of shots, it doesn't look all that exciting. Can you stick with the stock rear bumper and not have it look out of place with the sideskirts?

I'm assuming that the bumper and side skirts are fiberglass? How much did you pay for paint, clearcoat, molding, install?

One more question, for those who don't have a SC and a shiny intercooler to show off, does the bumper come with a mesh grill for the bottom opening?

Thanks and schweet ride nark! Mos def a PIMPIN ride.

Re: Top Secret front bumper installed (pics)

g35audioman- Thanks! btw guys this guy has the most awesome audio setup i've seen done in a g35 (sound quality)... if ya wanted to meet up to check it out shaam let me know..

I'm hoping that using the stock rear mudguards wont make it look too out of place, they lowered the rear end about an inch or so, so we'll see.

Dollar99 the badge I got from a buddy of mine, got it to be unique and didn't notice that you had wanted the same thing. Sorry...

I paid quite a bit to have it painted, but I used the shop that Infiniti uses (as well as the local lambo dealer platinum motors) so that it matched perfectally, and it does. I had an issue with the left sidemarker, the beveled edges weren't there for the snaps to hold onto, so far i'm using double sided tape but I will figure something else out later. There were also a defect where that marker was, following the edges of it was an inset line, that the shop had to fill in and paint over. Total was $415.00. I installed it by myself. The sideskirts will be here in a few weeks hopefully and i'll install those as well... Yes it's made of fiberglass, hand-laid from japan and it's the upmost best quality.. Urethane is cool but it sags over time and flexes too much where it will ruin the paint (plus its way heavier).

If you don't have an intercooler, yes it comes with mesh for that area, I opted to not put it on. But I believe in my opinion this bumper will look sort of weird w/out an intercooler in that area.

Thanks for the compliments

Re: Top Secret front bumper installed (pics)

By the way guys, it's currently at a shop getting a custom made clearbra for it... I coudln't see investing all this money on such a beautiful (and expensive piece) w/out protection. I'll let you guys know how it comes out, should be done by the end of the day. Wasn't cheap either.

Re: Top Secret front bumper installed (pics)

Can't say what the bumper cost me...

Just got the car back from getting a custom clear bra, and OMG it looks amazing. This guy really knows his stuff.

Guys, if you need any clear bra stuff done custom or regular, hit up Ken Luna at DP window tint in Santa ana. # 714-751-0883, tell him pete w/ the g35 sent you. He does factory BMW cars, as for other factories as well.

At first I thought the "S" was a Suzuki logo. LOL

Also, I could do without the cursive text thing in the top of your windshield. But everything else is OK.
