I kidd, I kidd.
But really, I'd like more details on the what you guys paid for the rear bumper, and more specifics on the install, now that there seems to be sufficient data on the painting portion. Did you guys remove the rear bumper prior to installation, or just leave it on the car? How much did you pay for the NISMO rear? How long did the installation take? What tools are needed, other than power-drill. Any strange bit-sizes? Problems with the install?
thank you thank you thank you.

OP, I had a bodyshop do all of my install about 2.5 yrs ago and I bought my full nismo kit from a g35 group purchase.
Details:
Dealer wants 2492 for all pieces and 685 installed. $3177+tax
everythingG35 1950
group buy 1680 shipping&tax included.
The diff. b/t group price and everythingG35 is $270, which pays my installation + $70 in my pocket.
bodyshop confirmed that they would drill holes/use screws in rear and NOT glue or tape.
I paid $1880 total, vs. 2150(everythingG35), vs. dealer $3172
No way bro, its a keeper. You know what I may do? I might put the G in the garage and get an 06 vette (not 08) with a bit higher mileage as daily driver and keep the G35 in the Garage and drive it once or twice a week on dry days. Then every 4 yrs or so, sell the vette and get a newer version.
When I have my G in the driveway temporarily, I just can't imagine it being a driveway car in couple of years. Just thinking out loud.

The paint will turn out fine assuming you use the OEM color. I bought a Husky 26-gal compressor for $250 and it came with an impact, ratchet, hammer, bottom-feed paint sprayer, air sprayer, air gauge, and air hose. I then bought a detail sprayer to apply the paint for $35. The OEM paint including hardners, scuff pads, etc was around $110 if I remember correctly. So overall, I was out about $400 to paint the sills and I got an entire set of air tools that I use weekly.
