I had to lay up more glass and glaze the whole thing! Sure I saved 200.00 but it also took me one full day to fix. If I had to to do all over again, I wouldnt! I would buy the real deal! Heres some pics of FAKE ings sides. Whats wrong with this picture?
where did you order your kit from? is it one of those ebay ones?

although the greddy replica turned out to be ar$e based on the earlier person's comments, the question here was regarding the NISMO. i know far more people on this forum w/ the replica nismo than the greddy. NISMO replica i believe is a better replica than the greddy....if there even is such a thing as a 'better replica'...somewhat of an oxymoron. anyways IMO better to spend an extra hour or three on fitment and save yourself 1k when all it takes is one pothole, one speed bump or one curb or one bad driver from cracking/scratching destroying bumpers/body kits/lips (main reason I refuse to purchase one).

I went with the Nismo for now because I knew that I was staying N/A for at least another year or two (then after I purchase the APS S/T, I'm going with the Top Secret front) - so I really didn't want to plop down too much money into this... the bumper did need some TLC from the body shop guys, but in the end they ended up raving about how well it fit and how good it looks...
I, personally, am very happy with the Nismo front bumper and would not have changed a thing...

It seems the majority of people with the Type-N bumper aren't reporting any major problems. They all seem satisfied with the purchase. If you don't drive in sub freezing temps and don't put the car through a lot of abuse, I say go for it.

you said go for it. i went for it .
i think ive seen a few high res pics where the sides didnt match slightly. im willing to deal with that. i mean cmon, the replica is almost 600 dollars less. 875 for the nismo, 299 for the replica. no brainer the way i see it.
