Karumaz Bumper Owners Chime In

I'm interested in this bumper and I have tried contacted a few G35 owners
that I know have this bumper through AIM.

A few questions for you guys:

How was fitment?
Any adjustments needed to make it fit almost OEM?
Did it line up with the undertray or did you have to do extensions?
What sides you guys running?
Whats sides would look best with the bumper?KS or Greddy?
Do you guys regret choosing this bumper?

TIA

How was fitment? Out of 10 (10 being the OEM) I give fitment an 8 - only because the right side nearest the fender has slight gap. It's not huge, but everytime I look at it, I wish it fit like the other side. (see pic)

Any adjustments needed to make it fit almost OEM? I didn't install it, but my body shop had to remove the front bumper pads and modify them to make it fit nice. No biggy.

Did it line up with the undertray or did you have to do extensions? It fit with the undertray. No problems there.

What sides you guys running? I have authentic Impul sides.

Whats sides would look best with the bumper?KS or Greddy? I didn't want anything too aggressive so I went with Impul. If I had to choose between the KS or Greddy...Go Greddy.

Do you guys regret choosing this bumper? NOT AT ALL! Sometimes I think about buying another, just to have as a backup incase something happens to the first one

Here's some pics to get the visual...Good luck with your decision.

id say that the kuruma front is a 8/10 too. alot better than what ive been seeing around.

id go with either ings or impul sides. between kenstyle and greddy. id go with kenstyle because that greddy one looks too ricey and too low for my taste.

love the bumper.

How was fitment? The only issue I have to the naked eye are that my amber corners aren't so flushed.. but i'm taking it in to the body shop next week to get that fixed. So fitment for me right now would be 7/10 hopefully when it gets fixed it'll be a good 9.5/10


Any adjustments needed to make it fit almost OEM? My previous body shop said it was a little hard to line up here and there. But I have an OB and you could hardly even tell.. Under the driver side headlight is where it was a little sketchy supposedly.


What sides you guys running? As of right now i'm running GT COMPETITIONS.. but I'm getting rid of them next week to throw on my KenStyle sides


Whats sides would look best with the bumper?KS or Greddy? There's a reason why I'm changing my sides to KS


Do you guys regret choosing this bumper? Nope.. I think I might be one of the couple of people with OB with this bumper.. it looks dope. I like it.. When I throw my front mount behind the mouth.. it'll have a bling bling grill like Mike Jones.. it'll look sickie.

I like the way the Impul sides look it's very clean.
I have a chance to buy some KS sides replica brand new for a mere $200.
I'm still torn I look at some pics of my car and love the OEM look but I'm getting some work done on the car now and figure if I wanted to change up anything now is the time.

Decisions decisions decisions

It's has been just over a month that i had my kurumaZ bumper installed. Overall the fitment was Perfect no fender gap, didn't had any problem with the side markers couldn't be more happy.

I have to say that kuruma z is one of the best. Going to order mine soon.

I do have a question for anyone who can answer this, Does anyone know if the Veilside Skirts line up okay with the kuruma?

Thanks.
