As soon as it's done, we will post more pics. In the mean while, we would like to get some sort of list to see what we should make first.

The modification wasn't too hard. The line between sport and non-sport bumper are almost identical, just that the sport bumper are a bit longer.

That's what we will be doing, extending the lip and adjusting some of the mounting points.

On post #1 , i have posted the nismo lip installed on the sport bumper, and you can kind of see how it will look like installed.

But yes, as soon as we get the revision, we will be testing them. I know Paul will be here right away to test

Ravspec yeah i have seen the page with the kenstyle rear section but the two options were carbon fiber and fiber glass. let me ask a question and i hope i don't sound too stupid .... i have seen many body kits and many aero parts that are made of fiber glass and they tend to crack and chip pretty bad. the only thing i have had good experiences with are the urethane body parts from stillen ( i had installed on my altima ) i googled FRP but the only thing that i can come up with is that is reinforced fiber glass ? how does it compare to urethane ? does it crack bad ? is it flexible like urethane is ?

that is the only reason why i have NOT ordered the rear sections from your site because it says Fiber Glass and the material just scares me....

Then get the CF and paint it =). I've had these on my car since before they started production and I have never had any issues with them cracking or chipping.

Urethane are more flexible than FRP, but that doesn't mean FRP is bad. Most of the aftermarket body kit in the market now are make out of FRP.

FRP material will crack only when you have a impact. It's common for front lip that's make out of FRP to crack because that's the lowest point of your car.

But for a rear lip to crack .. your muffler will go first. There is no way you can crack your rear lip unless you have a direct impact, which your bumper will be destroyed.

A bottom impact will break your exhaust system first before the rear lip.

Very interested but I had a couple of questions.

I'm assuming the Kenstyle Lip will not have the engraved "Kenstyle" on the front right?

And if I were to remove the Kenstlye lip will there be any visible drill holes on my OEM bumper??

Thanks
