i was thinking since i used to do bodywork, of figuring out what needs to be cut or fiberglassed and making it work without changing out panels. as far as the rear bumper, i already converted it to 03/04 and added nismo rear lip

Fenders are the same, everything else you said is correct.

Its not worth it, just get an 05-06 Nismo rep. No reason to swap hoods and headlights just for an authentic Nismo.

I prefer the look of the 05/06 front end...the headlights and grille look so much better but the 03/04 sedan hood looks much meaner

agreed on the grill part, but i think the only way the 05-06 bumpers look better is if it has the 05-06 lip or an after market bumper.. other than that Nismo FTW! hahaha

Nope. #3 is on the way so the G will be gone this winter. This is a temp set up before I purchase a set of OEM 18s and tires. I cannot roll like that so I needed to do something short term.

How is the engine bay build? Let me know if you still are interested in the lugs.

Wow I thought it would have been a little later before you got rid of it. My wiper vowel and valve covers are out for paint now and that will be it on the engine bay for a while. All the chrome and polished parts are installed. Putting the bay on hold because I'm planning to start an air suspension build.
