As for the nismo. Call Tony at Riverside. He can ship it up there to you.

As for the $225 standard bumper that is not including paint. The Nismo comes painted.

Not available in Canada and never was, shipping would cost
too much not to mention the duty, taxes and brokerage fees.

Looks like my only option is driving to NY state and having it
put on there, total would be around 1000$, the question is
that do I feel rich, I don't think so, my luck I would get hit
driving back so looks like I can't do it new but if I could find a reconditioned one, I will keep looking..thanks for you input guys, appreciate it..

I've had most of my stuff sent in from the states - including my Gialla front end. That sucker was in a big box! Yes, you pay shipping, tax & duty, but then you have a unique ride. Well worth it IMHO. As for the rivet thing... don't drill them out; just go to your local dealer and get another set of side marker brackets. They're fairly cheap and will save you a lot of fiddling in the end. Then you can switch back and forth in about 15 minutes.

The brackets take no time at all to drill out and move over. Back when I had a nismo on my car I installed it in under an hour as soon as it came in.

no need for rivet gun on the sidemarker bracket. Just go to homedepot and buy a pack of small bolts and nuts it was 99 cents when i got it.l

Question guys, would a 05 bumper cover fit on my 03 sedan, I called
a local jobber and he is looking for the aero bumper but I think my chances
are slim, and he does not have a 03 regular bumper, but he does have the
05 so was wondering if it would fit, its not an aero but its better than the
03 regular bumper....

Thanks

GBoy, the '05 front bumper won't fit to an '03. The grille cutout on the '05 bumper is different than that for the '03 bumper, that's the only noticeable difference I've seen.

Bummer, guess I will have to get the regular bumper until I win the lotto..
1000$ just seems a bit much on a 5 plus year car for the aero bumper
cover unless my body man says here is the bread from the insurance
company and then I can take a drive and have the thing put on in NY, 400-500 I don't mind spending..
