ShaneG vs Hikkata Dori Aero Kit's

I'm planning to buy a Nismo bumper for my G coupe but can't decide who to buy from. I want to know which one has better fitment. Thanks in advance.

Well Hikkata Dori bought all the molds from the guy EricIsKlumzyee used, and from what i read the fitment on the Nismo is not so good, before Kris bought the molds and after he bought the molds.

If you're buying the polyurethane Nismo bumper it doesn't matter who you buy it from. They all come from the same molds. The only exception being Erics "V2" Nismo with the extended under tray. You should be able to get it from either vender.


Beebo read wrong... Nismo replica bumpers fit fairly well. maybe he's thinking of the Kenstyle replicas that have crap fitment

Shane wants 525 shipped and Hikkata Dori wants 440 shipped for the Nismo poly. If they are coming from the same mold why would one be more expensive than the other? Thanks again

Why does Best Buy sell the camera I want for $3999 while Amazon sells it for $1699?

I don't think you'll regret working with Kris, or Veronica at Hikkata Dori. They have excellent customer service and great quality pieces

just because it's the same bumper, doesnt necessarily mean it came from the same mold. Shane and Hikkatadori don't share a manufacturer so both of our bumpers and molds come from and are made in different places.

Our stuff is made in house, so there's more quality control of our products.

i think the word your looking for is manufacturer!!

i was only speaking for the poly bumpers. nismo and top secret. i see how you could have read what i said in the wrong context. i wasn't trying to say every bumper shares a mold.
