Stupid NISMO question

Ok let me see if I get this right .... The Nismo front is a add on lip and the replica is a full front bumper ?

I was on Intense Motorsports website and thats what I got from reading it... so is the correct ? or are they both front bumpers ?

Yes, I also certain it's a full bumper. I know Nismo is high, but that'd be a hefty price for just a lip.

It is not a two piece front end. Both bumpers are a single piece. The authentic Nismo bumper will/should come with black mesh grills for the lower valances. The replica will not. Other than that, both bumpers are "identical."

Wrong.. the nismo is JUST a lip. The Type N replica is an entire bumper with the lip molded to the bottom.

umm as far as i can tell, nismo is a full bumper. if you look at the vents, they are angled up a lot more than a normal bumper.
