Looking good, Looks just like my car now If you want the 05/06 Reverse lights i can sell you mine which i'm selling.

 

Thanks! ill hit them up.

 

Installed motordyne sway bars. Med/Med for now.

 

Would it count if I "uninstalled" my Ichiba garbage? Front A-Arms were shot with only 5500 miles on them. Rear arms are coming off when I have a minute. After seeing the ones that broke in the middle, I don't want that happening to me.

 

Test fit my Strafe poly Nismo today.

 

man i hate the license plate hole in the front, fitment looks spot on tho

 

Very impressive. Looks like fitment is on point, was this "out of the box" fit? If so great job Strafe!!

 

Yes Tim it fits really well. I made only a few modifications to it.

I had to grind the area where the corners fit in to get them to sit and clip in properly due to the thickness of the poly.

The other thing I did is not really a mod but I removed the plastic clip in the front of the fender and thru bolted the bumper.

The only other thing was I lightly sanded the headlight tabs as they are just a smidge to thick.

 

R&E the fitment is great after the minor touches you did. Now I'm kinda torn between the HD nismo and the Strafe one.

Why did it take so long for you to get it? I remember seeing you were a little ticked about that.

 

Dang. I'm impressed.

Does it use the metal tabs like the oem one and the HikkataDori, or integrated like the Vis?

 

James that's not the license plate hole. Duh. They shaved that. That's a vent to allow more air to the front and for the x to cool the front diff. Strafe took awhile to release it so fitment would be on point. Also the quality of poly. U can have some poly that is too flimsy and some too stiff. I personally haven't dealt with it yet but I will be ordering one to replace my fg nismo

 

Idk why it took so long as stated ^^^^ they wanted the fitment spot on and it fits great so I'm happy.

It has molded in tabs like the Vis bumper.
I can actually see the mold lines and I was contemplating cutting the poly tabs to use my metal ones but I am happy with them so I will just leave what is there the poly is plenty
thick.

 

Fitment on the poly Nismo looks great. Who actually made the bumper? VIS?

 

Had the holes filled, smoothed and painted my core support. Thanks to Chris (JDM Cain) for hooking me up with the guy who recently did his.







Also had my wiper cowl painted. Removed wiper fluid sprayers and had the holes filled (inspired by Danny - GreenGoblin).





Core support is on.

Thanks to Randy (RRYDE) for waking up early this morning and going over to Eric's shop to swap it for me. Randy even took the time to clean up the area behind the core support (AC Condensor, etc.), thank you sir!









We had talked about burning my ARC titanium radiator panel a couple months ago when I got it polished, but I was undecided how I wanted to burn it. Randy suggested just a subtle line to show that its titanium, he burned it for me today (pictured sitting on unpainted core support). Thanks again homie.
