Installed front Aero Kit????

Just installed Front aero kit but ther there is a slight gap between the side marker lights is this normal? And there is a slight off track on the headlights. Does anybody else have the same problems or did the people that installed my aero kit dont know what they are doing?

Is it a genuine OEM bumper or a replica?

Where did you get it and how much did you pay?

If it is OEM it should fit better.

I installed mine myself it is perfect.
Alignment should be just as good as the one you took off!

FWIW......
There is a notched clip at the bottom of the headlights.
If they missed the clip it will not align properly,

Try www.infiniti-parts.com. I just ordered one today - cost me $1055 including shipping. That's the cheapest i've seen for a Nismo front bumper.

Fixed the problem had to get the 1 inch square metal pieces on the frame cut in order for the aero kit to fit perfectly.

Yes there is some square tubing that rejects the sport bumper.
This may have been added in '04.

Just needs to have ~ 1" trimmed off the bottom.

Here's the specific link for the Nismo bumpers -
http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...&subcat3=75627

I actually called everythingg35.com to see if they would match the infiniti-parts.com price and they refused to. This was as of last week. Maybe they have dropped it since but it's always good to do your homework. I ended up buying mine from infini-parts.com and received the bumper the next day after I placed the order.

Removal of the OEM bumper was straightforward - just time consuming especially removing all the bolts from the undercarriage cowl and the out-of-the-way side marker bolts. You have to remove the metal bracket that holds the side markers from the OEM bumper and re-use it on the Nismo bumper. They are riveted so you will need to drill out the rivets or get a rivet removal tool. In my case, I just popped the bracket out using flat screwdriver - basically destroying the OEM bumper - and drilling the rivets out. I did not use rivets to mount the brackets but ended up using bolts/nuts/washers to place it on the Nismo bumper. Easy removal if the need arise in the future.
