I know we're all G35 freaks here and can identify every body kit for our cars in the blink of an eye, but recently I've been considering picking up the Nismo front bumper to put on an IP G35 coupe. I've had or been around G35's for over two years now and the Nismo bumper is instantly noticible for me, but I know I don't have the most objective view of our cars.

Question is, do you think the average car enthusiast looking at our cars can tell that we have an aftermarket bumper with the Nismo?

 

If you want to "impress" people or "instantly stand out" then, I'd pick something else. The Nismo front end it noticeable to G/Z enthusiasts because we pay attention like that, it's our car. A more general car enthusiast might notice right off, or think you just added a lower lip to the stock.

The problem with posting the question here is, your getting feedback from a very focused group. Not a general/average car enthusiast.

 

Well I think the Nismo front is the best looking aftermarket bumper, so that's the one I'm going for. Being 'noticed' isn't important for me, I guess I just wanted to see if people could actually tell a difference. But you're right, this is the wrong place to ask.

 

No.

 

hmm-well to an avg car enthusiast-i'd say probably not, maybe if you paint your vents to matte blk

 

IF your car has other mods on it such as rear bumper, sides, hood, trunk then ppl will notice your NISMO bumper.

But if you only have front bumper and that's it then it's hard to notice for not a G/Z owner.
But they will deff pay more attention to your car then other G with stock bumper.

As you have pointed out already. Nismo is the best looking bumper.

 

here is an mine with vent painted flat black

 

Richard that looks amazing, great job on your car. I'm jealous.

 

you need to get clearcorners RIch!!

here is mine!

 

^^ nice nismo bumper, but shouldnt you consider something else because it's blocking your half of your intercooler

 

yeah i have looked at some other bumpers but my buddy and i have done some test with the cooling of the intercooler and its not effected really...everything is still cooling normally. I have been looking into some other ones though....

 

i have been considering this one....

 

^so am i....you can never go wrong with this bumper....the price is a little to steep for my blood though

 

yeah i know which is why i got the nismo....I was almost considering modding the nismo with a whole in the front or trying to run dual intercoolers in the back....

 

nice nice...im not going to painted my ducts....but damn it looks nice
