Nismo front bumper install

Hey guys,

Spent the better part of the day installing the Nismo sedan front bumper. I didn't have any instructions save for the ESM. Have a Vortech but no mods needed except for some removals of some bumper reinforcements for the headlights. Anyone else?

That sounds about right. Take off the two side reinforcements and trim some foam.

The final product... I'm a little pissed cuz I scratched the fenders a bit while fitting. All 'n all looks great IMO. Now I need the sides and rear. Lol!

Looks great. One of the best non-engine mods for the 03-04's IMO.

why wouldn't you go with something more useful - more air flow to the ic? don't get me wrong, i like nismo as well but it seems kinda useless for your vortech.

It is a bit restrictive for air flow to the IC. I may clean up my OEM bumper for practicles and swap out. It just looks so hot.

So are you heading to a body shop? Luckily I realized what was happening and wrapped the edges with electrical tape before and further damage was done.
