Calling ALL G35 COUPE NISMO front bumper owners!!! Help!

Ladies & Gents,

I have a fitment question:



In this picture, I have circled 2 things primarily:
1.) the black/gray/dirty plastic fender liner
2.) the part of the silver front bumper that curves into the wheel well

Note well: the picture is for illustration purposes only. The car has an OEM bumper + OEM lip on.

Now, with that being said, you guys and ladies who have Nismo front bumpers, does the fender liner fit behind your Nismo bumper like it does with the OEM bumper in the above picture? Does the fender liner tuck behind the silver part of the bumper curving into the wheel well?

If so, how is it being held like that? Mine seems to be popping out.

I hope that makes sense.

Please let me know!

Yes. Is there anything special holding in your passenger side, then? I'm trying to get the fender liner to fit/tuck behind the front bumper like it does in the picture I posted in the OP.

Shush, the picture was of an anonymous car until you posted. You certainly didn't object to me taking the picture when I did it right in front of your face.

It would also help if you could tell me who made your bumper!

I.e.
Klumzee
Strafe
ShanesG
Hikkata Dori
Etc.

Thanks guys!

the reason the drivers side pops out like that is b/c one of the holes on the bottom broke off.


* i dont know who made my nismo front but i bought it from skyline_V35.*

when I had my first Arch poly nismo, I had the same problem. Just get some of that heavy duty double sided 3M tape and voila!!!

Thats what I wound up doing and it held up rather well.

I'll do the same with the next one I install just for good measure

I have the same issue right now on my nismo v3 the passenger side is perfect the drivers pops out a bit like the previous pics. I haven't tied the bumper down yet to the undertray. What did u all use to screw down the undertray. Did u guys reuse the metal clip inserts that work like a thread for the screw of the factory bumper? Or kust used a different system.
