New Nismo bumper

Hello,

I just received my poly Nismo replica bumper from Strafe and am wondering how hard it is to take off the old bumper and put this one on?? How long will it take approx? Also, does anyone have any links to a step by step? Thanks in advance for any feedback as it is always appreciated.

Mine took about 25 min to put on my mechanic had to modify the area on the fender where the bumper is bolted to make it actually fit n lock. Easy

Not sure on the condition yet, it is still in the box that it was shipped in..... I am trying to decide if I want to put it on myself to test fitment or just take it all to a body shop and have them do it. It was delivered today and it took about a week from when I placed my order

You can edit your post to correct spelling or add stuff. No need to make another one

My poly Nismo took about an hour to test fit. This includes cutting out the grill clip holes and drilling all the other holes for clips and bolts.

Can someone verify if all of these steps are necessary for the Poly Strafe bumper as well? See link.

Yes you have to do the same steps or the bumper won't fit perfect.
