I agree, this segment of the Sedan market needs to be addressed. The only bolt on rear lip option right now is Stillen, which isn't a bad option IMO. The Wald replica is out there too, but will require modification for it to fit IIRC. The Nismo design is so popular that someone should make a replica. As more people buy our cars used there will be more people coming to the market looking for body kit options. They have options for the front and sides and nothing for the rear. For the 05-06 guys this isn't a huge deal, although I think a rear lip really completes the look. For the 03-04 guys its a must to have a rear lip IMO to complete the body kit.

Based on what I've seen (and know) I think that Ionic would be our best option to make a Nismo rear replica. They completed the OEM front lip project very quickly and it came out perfect from what I've seen in the pics. They are pretty busy with other projects right now, but hopefully they can find some time in the near future.

I know that HD was talking about this last fall/winter, but I haven't heard anything from them about it. I approached rookie about it before I put my Nismo rear on just in case he wanted to use it to make a replica, but at the time he wasn't interested in doing a rear. Strafe has a bunch of items in work for the Sedan, not sure if a rear lip is on the list. I haven't seen anything from Arch that would indicate that they are working on a rear lip.

This subject has been brought up many times with no action taken, the closest one I've seen is this: Poll: Group interest: 03/04 OEM Nismo Rear Aero Replica. Not sure if boostedforlife is still taking on the project though.

Speaking of silly....


But yeah, I agree with Marcus. Ionic did great getting the 05/06 lip going. Hopefully he'll pick up the Nismo rear once they get some of their other projects done. He's already said the Sedans will be getting more attention.

I prefer that you use a block of colby jack.

^Too inconsistent in texture. Straight up Cheddar would be much better

Monterey Jack tends to melt smoothly.

How bad would it be to put a stillen rear lip on and have the diffusers deleted?

On a serious note .......
if some one can send me a Nismo lip that has already been modified to fit perfectly then I would not have any problems in making this for your guys, I can fit it into our roster.
