Exclamation Got KurumaZ on my 2006 6MT (pics + fitment review)

I'm also dropped on 350Z htechs + Tokicko d-specs.

I think you definitely need a grill to fill up those gaping holes. Still waiting for mine

Now for fitment review. Overall, I'd give it 6/10. Issues below:

Driver's side (and only driver's side) fender not flushed with bumper and in fact sits over it. Will probably rub on the bumper and cause scratches soon. Also note the side marker not flush.

Didn't like this one. Big gap between headlight and bumper, again, only driver side.

Driver side side marker really not flush at all.

More review/issues:

Passenger side marker again not flush, but the bigger problem is behind it. The bracket that it bolts to would not fit (location of bumper's holes were off and not aligned). Could not use the bracket at all.

I left the worse for last (nothing to do with the bumper quality though). Just discovered that the paint is flaking OFF (by the wheel so it is not noticeable). WTF....how does this happen??? Goes to show u get what u pay for. I had it painted for like $200 CAD (about $170 USD).

Even though you notice the little things that bother you on the bumper... the average person could not see what you see... but it sucks that in the back of your mind that their there

Guys, I had the same problem. It's an easy fix. Behind the bumper where the clear corner fastens into, this is your prolem. The clips for the clear corner were larger than the holes in the bumper. It took maybe one minute to sand down the area to allow enough space for the clips to go in.

Before


Notice the left square opening compared to the right square opening and you can see how the left one needed ot be sanded down a bit.
