Found a Nismo Aero front end

I was at a shop and the guy asked me about my "custom bumper" and mentioned that he had one just like it in the back. HE DOES!! I have personally seen and touched it 100% oem nismo aero!! It's in Tampa FL, PM me and I will give you the guy's phone number. He knows what it is now, so he said he would price it at $650.

In theory yes, but when my son wrecked my car and I started trying to buy an Aero- nobody- nobody- nobody could/would guaranty that it could be shipped with 5 days. I bought the Strafe front only because I couldn't find an Aero. Then, I thought I found one- bought it from RockAuto for $660 and I received a bone stock front-it was mismarked by Keystone. RockAuto refunded my money, but after I had bought the Aero LP delete and Aero sides. They showed one more Aero in stock, but couldn't confirm whether it was also mismarked. I was lucky to find one listed on e-bay. These are hard as hell to find, I know first-hand. I'm not making any money on this deal, I just knew that people are always looking for the Aero front. Figured I would let this forum know. I've seen it, it does exist, it is ready to be picked up/delivered right now.

It was in pretty good condition, can't remember the color, but I would think you would want to refinish and not just bolt on without refinishing and blending.

BTW, I bought a 04 trunk lid so I can fully debadge now!! Good bye Doggie Door!!!

3.57 LSD being installed today!!!

I'm not giving the car to my son due to the insurance increase issue so I'm all in now on making it faster!!

Great find, Jeff!

You should have told the guy that they are a dime a dozen, offered him $50 for it and got the hell out of there!

I thought about it for about a millisecond. Given that he is in a position to help me more than I can help him- I am hoping my honesty will be rewarded by him in the future. He only charged me $120 for the trunk lid and that was before he learned about the bumper, etc. It is a graveyard for nothing but G's, Z's, M's and Titans. If I would have found this guy 3 months ago I coulda saved a whole lotta cash. They build custom motors for all the above. It's a freakin' wet dream!!

He actually agreed to sell the aero to me for $300. He told me he had a customer come in and see it and offered $300, the customer was all excited about the bumper but didn't have the cash and never came back. I said "I'll give you $300 right now." He said ok, then I told him I couldn't do that to him and explained what it was and that it should go for about $650. He thanked me- then I mentioned this forum and told him I would let people know.

So here we are.

Nice find, I love the look of the nismo.

And where is this graveyard for G's, Z's, M's and Titans that you speak of? That would've helped me a lot when I lived there. Even though I live in Dallas, most of my friends fam still live in the Tampa area, so I could ask some of them to check it out for me lol.
