hey Rob, congratulation on the front nismo bumper.



still like for 03-04 g35 sedan rear bumper cover.

 

Check the Memphis CL, Joe. Someone is parting out an 03 sedan in OB. Front end damage so maybe you can score the rear bumper and mudguards.

 

i highly doubt he would do this, the market int there.

 

^Fo sho your right about that. I wasn't meaning for HIM to do it, just someone LIKE him... I, personally don't have the skills. However, he has stepped up to make the rear lip, so maybe he's stepping stoning his way to the full kit. I know I would donate some stuff to him to help out (help me help you...). Know what I'm sayin'?

 

yea i know what you mean, i think i mentioned this to ionics bro (having them replicate/make their own bumpers), and i dont think they will do front bumpers or rear bumpers. and about the donating.... i donated one of my front grills for the 05-06 emblemless.. and that was months and months ago, and the project still doesnt look like its quite done.. i think if u can find someone to lend you their inserts, and u find a bodyshop close to your place.. now that would be your best bet.

 

I actually purchased the VIS Techno R (Nismo replica) from Strafe before finding this authentic front. I'm pretty sure the inserts are moulded into that bumper, but it might be good enough to copy from. It should be here next week or so, so I'll take a look at that. If not, then doing what you said would probably be the best thing.
Thanks,

Cool thats great to see Rob. Hopefully mine should get here early next week. I'm thinking about using these for the missing vent issue. If they were black they would probably blend in pretty well and hopefully wouldn't look too bad.

 

UPDATE:

Just received my bumper thru fedex and in fact is a factory nismo bumper! This thing is in great condition, all clips are intact except for one on the back bottom right side, found the clip in between all the packaging. I took some pics, can this clip be fixed?? i provided a picture of me holding the clip where it belongs and a pic of opposite side with clip intact.

Overall im very happy with my purchase of my factory nismo bumper. no fiberglass here.

 

it shouldn't be that hard. take it to the body shop.

 

Yay for us!!! Very Nice find. Thanks for the lead Havok! Mine has a few minor issues, but nothing my body shop can't take care of.

 

My wife texted me at while I was at work tonight saying there was "a big *** box on the front porch" lol. When I got home at 12am I checked it out and its indeed an aero bumper! I'll unbox it and take some pics tomorrow.

 

Dammit.. i'd really want to get one of these, but wouldn't you have to replace the sides and the back after too? That'd be kind pricey..

 

Ok here are the pics. Its in great shape, there were some repairs done that can be seen on the back side, and the outside bottom tabs are missing (probably not really necessary to have them) but the front looks just like brand new!

 

Here's how mine came. but I didn't get the killer deals you guys got.
received


Painted

 

FYI the inserts on VIS replica are actually separate pieces like the OEM ones, so it's highly possible that they'll swap. Let us know how it turns out.
