From what I understand (and this is coming from an Infiniti Parts Rep), dealerships had either special ordered parts for customers (and they didn't pick up), ordered parts for stock (thought they could move them), or Infiniti had auto shipped parts to dealers based on forcasted sales demographics. These unsold parts would sit on the dealership's shelves for a certain amount of time and then would be sent to an overstock warehouse and removed from the dealer's inventory.

Some of these parts have been located (that's what I've been trying to do since I've joined the forum) and some are just non-existent. Infiniti can compare stocked dealer parts to parts sold (or unsold) and can determine whether there's a chance the part may still be around (possibly in the overstock warehouse), then place a call to said dealership to have them check inventory. Some were sold and not accounted for properly, some went to the warehouse and there they sit.

So far, I have found only (1) one front bumper. It is Ivory Pearl and has cosmetic damage. Think the dealer is in Arizona and they still want cost plus shipping for it.

There are still approximately 35 to 40 rear lips available (no you don't have the last one, sorry).

And, I happen to know where several sets of skirts are located (mostly Garnet Fire, Twilight Blue and some mismatched), but that's a secret...

Granted, since Strafe and Ionic have stepped up and replicated some of these saught after pieces (in POLY and IonicFlex), their replicas are a great alternative to the authentic (price-wise) yet still offer the authentic appearance, without the customer having to pay an "authentic" price.

However, the VIS Techno R (fiberglass replica) is a VERY good alternative (with an even cheaper price point) in authentic appearance and fitment. The ONLY PROBLEM is that the VIS rear lip (unless this has been recently addressed) is formed off the JDM "Shorty" rear bumper and is about 1 1/2" to 2" to short on the sides. It will not fit the USDM rear bumper without heavy modification.

Food for thought.

EDIT: Almost forgot... I also found (2) JDM Nismo Aero front bumpers (NIB) through the same parts rep. These are the ones that are primer coated (not color matched ANY USDM color), but are still around $1500 plus shipping...

 

Ah i got some knowledge to drop on you!

We fixed the 03-04 nismo rear lip so it fits the usdm rear bumper & we are almost done getting the 05-06 rear lip made for the sedans as well. All the other stuff you mentioned your 100% correct on. Lol i remember our phone convo about the oem stuff.

 

So the vis rear lip is fixed now, hey rob fid me a cb rear lip..

 

bumper, bumper bumper.

 

^yes we helped fix it. Its howeever exclusive to strafe.

 

Pm me a price sir

 

To 07055

 

^ Sweet! I love knowledge!

Nice work, Sir! The gifts just keep on coming!!!!!

Good looking out for the 1st gen sedan B's and G's.

 

Pure awesomeness!!! Don't know how the fitment on the skirts was, but the VIS Techno front bumper I got from you was a really good fitment (just needed a little touch up around the side markers). I can only imagine that the rear lip will be a clean fit too!

Nice work.

 

Very cool I had no idea you had taken this project on. Any pics installed?

 

very soon marcus we will.

 

LOL! This thread is funny. I have a master list of all parts that are available for the sedan at certain dealers that don't know what they have, but are willing to sit on the parts as dead inventory for them. The 2 primed bumpers that were mentioned were sold over a year ago by me and Tony. Those are still available in JAPAN, but the pricing is super crazy compared to the knock offs that are out on the market today.

 

You guys are making me want to do a complete kit now.

 

With the reps that are available from CBK, Ionic and Strafe, and the authentic sides that can be had for cheap, there is no reason for you not to do a complete Nismo kit.
