Serving my G35 community one thread at a time.

 

I got a good idea, it's actually what I will do when I get my nismo soon. to hide the license plate in either one of the vents. will cops give you hard time for doing that? cuz it's still showing.... I'm sure cops dont give a damn if we do it here, and it still keeps the clean look of the nismo!

 

They can still give you a ticked, blocking any of the plate is against the law, and the vents arent large enough to not obstruct the letters and the registration stickers

 

no pix of the under the car with the plastic?

 

Got too dark yesterday and I did not want to get on my back to take pix. So I'll do it today when I get home.


Damn the things I do for you guys........................And nobody gives me do Dallah

 

OK Here we go

This is the bolt on the corner of the bumper.

What I did is placed the undercarriage plastic over the bumper. Scratches the pain on the bumper through the nut that the bolt needed to go to. Then drilled the hole in the bumper. Placed bumper over plastic and put the bolt in.
Same on the other side.


And Middle I just left alone.
It holds on pretty good and holes don't quite reach the bumper so what I could have done is just drill the holes in the bumper and zip tie to the holes in the plastic. But I did not want to do that cuz I change oil at the dealership all the time. So I did not want them to cut the zip ties and then put new ones on and charge me for it. So I just put bumper over plastic so that when I drive air that goes under the car will not bend the plastic out and make it scrape.

 

oh really?!! that's not cool....
but ya, as long as we show our license plate number here, we are fine. at least no one I know got pull over yet

thanks for the writeup. planning on getting nismo real soon

 

^No problema

 

UPDATE:



OK I take everything that I said about not fastening this piece of plastic to the bumper back. YOU GOT TO ATTACH IT.
Force of the air that goes under your car will actually push it out from behind the bumper due to that vertical piece that's hanging from the bumper at around 120mph. And it will scrape like a Motha Fvcka.

I came up with a few ways to attach it and I'm going to attempt it today.

I'll post update when I do it.

 

We had the same problem when I installed the Automotivemods version of this bumper. We had to make up a mounting plate out of aluminum and mate the bumper with the skid plate.

looks like someone cut off half of the bottom of your bumper?

 

^that's how it is. Nothing is cut out.

 

Da**, there is a ton of work that goes into making these things mount and fit properly. The finished product is nice though.
