Very. It's the best replica made on here. See my review and pics here: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...ce-review.html

If you want authentic, be prepared to shell out twice as much for the one from ConceptZ.

can't speak from experience, but pics I've seen have good fitment. it's the authentic kuruma z, of course it will have better fitment than others.

edit: you already have another thread about the same exact thing, and going against everything people have told you. I'm done here.

I believe Concept Z are the ones who made the original mold for the Kuruma Z, so I don't think their version is going to fit bad.

I heard (not sure if this is true) that they sold the mold design to VIS, so even if you are getting a "replica" poly Kuruma bumper from another vendor now, it will most likely be the exact same mold as the authentic one. Eric at BAUS told me that the fitment on his are spot on. Hopefully I'll be ordering one from him soon.

Just an FYI, Arch created their own mold, which is why their version doesn't have a "shelf" in the front, it's more rounded out.

I think that the original mold is floating around in cyberspace so different vendors carry it..

Any body part, short of OEM, is going to require a little bit of priming, sanding, blocking and molding to get it to look proper.

As far as fitment issues, well, that's part of the "you get what you paid for" thing. I bought a replica OEM bumper for our Z when the lower part of the grille on the factory bumper got raked on a curb and split. I had to do extensive modifications to the mounting holes on the bumper to get it to fit properly.

That one got ripped off when the car went in a ditch, and we bought a used OEM bumper. Fit like a glove the first time.

O.o



There are two poly urethane molds.. ones from Arch/E-Racing and ones the original one that ended up with VIS (thats where we get it from).

There's one Fiberglass mold thats by CarBodyKits (the one we sell).

All 3 of them fit. so any issues that anyones ever had with any Kuruma Z is just their bodyshop not knowing how to install it (guaranteed).

We make the carbonfiber splitter for the kuruma z fronts and kurookie fronts
