Ok, a couple of us just bought some authentic Nismo bumpers (used) from a Ebay seller. These bumpers did not come with the vents, so... Looking at the bumper, it appears that this is a single vent that pops in place (right across the middle)?
Now, my question is: Do any of you Nismo owners have any of these left over and would like to sell them? (Ones who have possibly switched to a grill or mesh or something)
If not, would anyone be willing to donate theirs for a week or so to allow my body man to replicate some? I'd be willing to pay for all shipping and time/trouble and would not damage your vents. I got stuff to trade too, if we can help each other out.
thanks,
rob.g

Congrats you finally found it for yourself Where did you find authentic ones? are they colored from factory any BS ones? About the vents i didn't even know they go thru the middle.
Thanks Lev,
Found it used on Ebay. Has bunch of surface scratches and is currently GF, but won't stay that way long. Not sure about the vents (that's why I was asking), but looking at pics of others and pics of this bumper w/o the vents, it basically looks like a single divider that goes right down the center (horizontally) of the air ducts. Here's a pic of the used bumper I'm getting and you can see that there are places in the ducts where the divider (vent) would "pop" into:

Haha, yeah. Almost there. Is your bumper damaged Lev?
Ah...I see. The Infiniti Rep I made contact with (who found the rear lips) could not find any front bumpers except for an IP one somewhere in Arkansas. It has surface scratches from shipping damage and the dealer still wants $1000 for it. Not gonna happen. Other than that, NADA.... So, I was forced to go used.

You're correct it just pops in across the middle. To remove it, you have to push it out from the inside of the bumper. Nice find

It's no secret. Paid $265 shipped, but it's seen better days. Gonna take a lot of love to get it whipped back into shape.Originally Posted by G35SedanGrn
