Fender bender...need a new bumper.

I got a dent in my front bumper and was wondering if anyone could give me pricings on the aero/nismo or kurookie front bumper and where I could get one or if anyone here is selling one.

Thanks

OEM Nismo/Areo is not made anymore, so your only route there is used, or the Hikkatadori replica. PM Kris79 or I Ride G for pricing on it.

^The HikkataDori is actually really nice. I just got mine, don't have many good pics yet.

G35 Papa and JohnnyOne both have them. You could PM either of them, they both have lots of good pics.

Fitment is very very good, not quite oem, but better than 99% of the FG kits out there. Much of the fitment will depend on the body shop really.
I've seen careless body shops make OEM parts fit poorly

It will probably run around the price of a used areo kit, maybe more, maybe less... that kinda depends on if you get the INGs ducts with it and mainly, if you find a steal on a used kit... they're getting really hard to find.

^That would depend greatly on your shop.
Remember that even if it's your same color, it was painted at a different time and has been exposed to the elements differently, so color may not match.

A really good painter can match colors amazingly well (My car for example is Ivory Pearl, a VERY difficult color to match, and they did a flawless match)
They can also do a paint blend on adjoining panels to make any small difference in color much less noticeable.

That being said, a used bumper with OEM paint just might match up fine... hard to say.

The HikkataDori has a shaved center section, so there's not a place to mount a front plate. If your state doesn't require a front plate, it looks much better shaved than with the stupid 'filler panel' up front. If your state DOES require a front plate, then you'll need to get some kind of bracket.

Just so you know, the front bumper was going for around 1000 brand new, painted from Infiniti when they were brand new.

Basically, you need to PM "I ride G" and ask her for a quote on the HikkataDori Sedan Front bumper (include your year!) she'll take care of you.
Then go to your shop, and find out how much they would charge to paint and mount a fiberglass bumper. Let them know any concerns about fitment and colormatch that you may have.

Once you have those prices, you'll be much better equipped to make a decision.

What color is your car BTW?

^ WOW!! Thanks for all the advice and help!

I will get on those as soon as I find out what the pricings are from I ride G.

Do you have the entire kit all around? Would you recommend gettin the whole thing or painting the sides and maybe adding the rear lip?

The color is Desert Platinum. Hard color to match too. Well I would think so.
