One more question on the Nismo bumper. How much lower to the ground is the Nismo bumper than stock?

I'll try to post some pics tonight. It's the authentic nismo bumper. I was going to go with the replica, but the car is my daily driver and the temperature drops below freezing all the time, so I didn't want to take a chance. Although the real nismo is fiberglass as well, they add a bunch of other components to it to make it more flexible than regular fiberglass. I'm keeping the tow hook in place. You need to use the square that comes with the OEM bumper for it. I'm just getting the pre-drilled license plate holes filled in. It does come with black mesh. I don't know if it's plastic or steel. I haven't opened up the packet they come in.

LOL! That's the only reason why the wheels and the nismo front aren't already on.

Very nice looking setup. Do you have an estimate on how much it will cost to paint? One thing is paying for parts but the big problm is transporting them to a body shop (assuming you dont have a pickup like I dont) and paying for paint labor and all.

I've been wondering what the Kenstyle sides would look like with the Nismo front bumper... and they look sick!

My car is going in the shop next week, can't wait to post pics with the finished product! (damn wheels have been put on hold yet again - eta went from Feb. 14th to Mar. 1st - so I'll be rolling around on stock wheels for awhile )

Ummm... I did say "couple of months." I ordered the kenstyle sides. Just need to find the impul rear. I'll post a shot of the stock car with the new wheels once winter actually ends.
