Contact Dustin @ Strafe for either a VIS Techno R (Nismo replica) or Strafe Nismo front. Then hit me up if you want Nismo skirts!!!

Front bumper, license plate cover and skirts were all painted. The rear lip was already color matched (been sitting in my garage for about 8 months now. I plan on getting the skirts and rear lip on tomorrow. I got a set of wheels I'll probably swap out too and Z/G suspension to install. Don't know if I can get it all done tomorrow, but I'll try.

Awesome Rob Looks good! I am still searching for my front bumper. Again thanks for the sides and the rear. I know I haven't posted pics yet but just seems weird to post them without the front.

If any of you want to get rid of your front bumper let me know hehe :O)

OK, catch me up here... What front did you find and use? Was it too much to handle yourself or were there other circumstances that had you in the body shop?

I'm still running with your skirts, but oem front and rear.

I found an authentic Nismo front bumper on Ebay that was "reconditioned". They did a mediocre job on it and my body man basically had to strip it down and re-do it. My suggestion is that if you can just find a used one (maybe has scratches or mild damage (but repairable), I'd go with that because you'd probably be able to pick it up cheaper than a reconditioned one and your body shop will still have to put a good amount of prep work into it.

My sedan got rear ended (very light scratches and some paint spiderwebbing) several months ago and it was due to get repaired, I had just been waiting to locate a front bumper so I could have the rear bumper fixed, skirts and front bumper painted all at the same time. I also already had an authentic Nismo rear lip which was already color matched DP, so it was sitting in my garage waiting as well.

So got all that done and it's back home. I put some 06 Sedan 18's on and am contemplating keeping them or switching to the coupe 18's (which I also have a set of, just need to have powdercoated).

Here's what it currently looks like:

The Z drop and coupe wheels are going to give you a perfect factory modded sedan. Congrats Rob.
