And the winner is . . .

For those scoring at home, I ended up going with the Nismo Aero Front (real oem reconditioned) and an aftermarket "gialla" style grill Parts just ordered last night so I'm still a couple weeks from being back on the road. Will post the pics when its finished.

A special thanks to 19kdrill for helping me locate the Nismo Aero front!! Couldn't have done it without you buddy!!

I'm late, but my vote counts as 10 votes because I said so, and my vote goes to KuRookie

I guess your vote doesn't count for a lot since he's already purchased an authentic Nismo.

Congrats Jeff on finding the real deal. Now you won't have to deal with Strafe anymore. Good riddance I say.

Ah...Ashley got me the link. So much reading lol. I'll have to put it aside for when I get bored at work. Read parts of it so I don't think I got the full story but it seems as though OP was asking if that's what to expect from a FG bumper. In that case, it's not that it's expected, but it does happen. No FG bumper is perfect and it does take some work. Although Rookie did a great job with the KuRookie. Maybe they weren't made in as huge of a batch or maybe somethin else, dunno. Not takin sides on the situation since I didn't even read it fully. But the OP's body shop not knowing how to install the bumper because no drill holes were there? Eh, a proper shop should be able to figure it out.
