Nismo look front bumper on eBay

Hey guys I found this sedan bumper on ebay and was wondering what you guys thought of it. Price is decent and it looks just like the nismo bumper to me but I'm no pro so some opinions on whether or not I should purchase it would be appreciated,

Here is a review of the VIS bumper: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...-techno-r.html

I say go with the Hikkata Dori for sure. Fitment is way better than the VIS and it looks sweet!

In the review you posted, it said the front bumper actually had a "better-than-expected fitment" and that is the only part of the VIS kit I plan on purchasing. I would love to throw the hikkata bumper on but I'm a 21 year old broke *** college student looking to upgrade my 03 front bumper lol. I know I'm gonna get the "go for the quality or you'll regret it" lines from everyone buuuut I'm not as baller as most of the guys on this site. I'm still having trouble finding out how much the hikkata bumper costs...could any one help me out with that?

^ I'd rather pay a little more for something that fits than pay less for something I am going to pay a lot more to fit.....

PM Kris, he'll get back to you before the end of the day tomorrow.

I think it was better than expected because VIS puts out a lot of crap so most of us familiar with their kits would assume it would require a lot of modification to fit, whereas in that review it only required a "less than expected" amount modification.

PM i ride g or kris79 for pricing info on the Hikkata Dori,

My fiberglass hikkatadori coupe front had pretty crappy fitment and cost me a good bit to have it corrected.

The Sedan Hikkatadori fitment is really good, nothing like the Coupe bumper you posted up.

I have a Hikkatadori front on the way right now. I'll report back on the fitment, but I've heard nothing but good about it from others.

I will warn you that it's not exactly cheap (as compared to the vis that is) ... but I feel confident that it's worth it for a quality product, and it's still less than you would have spent on a real Nismo.

If you pay less for poor fitment but end up paying more to modify to fit..just doesn't make any sense.
