Nismo rear alternative

Can I get some pics of rear lips with a kurookie front and nisrookie sides other than the nismo aero? It's near impossible to find anymore, and I can't imagine that the front and sides would look good without some sort of rear add-on as well.

Also, a pic of a car with the kurookie and just painted stock sides? It'd be nice to get away with not buying them if at all possible.. And in fact, a link to anyone with modded CB sedans would be nice. I've seen maybe one.. Thank you!

4DGS is running a Kurookie front w/ OEM sides and rear. 4drmadness old set up was Kurookie front w/ Still rear.

Yeah, I saw the stillen one, it's decent, but almost verging on rice-ish with such an aggressive diffuser. So the oem sides and rear line up decently with a kurookie front huh?

^beat me to it.

Your best bet for finding kurookie pics is this thread:
https://g35driver.com/forums/media-s...ew-bumper.html

An 05-06 looks ok with the kurookie and stock sides/rear. Candlestickpark ran that for a while:



An 03-04 you're going to want some kind of rear lip, and you'll have an easier time winning the lottery than finding a nismo. Stillen is the best option IMO.

IMO, you can get away with running Rookie front and sides with a painted rear valence. Especially if you have rear mudguards. Overall, the lines look pretty good. Candlestick (Marcus) ran this for bit as well.

That does look good. I'll have to look at 4dgs and 4drmadness's cars. Mines an 03 without mudguards, so I'm not sure..

Here is another data point, particularly for the 03-04 guys.

KuRookie front, OEM sides and rear with painted lower sills. OCG35 ran this setup for a while before he got KuRookie sides and a Wald rear lip (both molded)

^I don't know if anyone has tried the VIS rear, but the front supposedly had some problems.

The VIS rear does not fit, its not even close. They based the design on the JDM shorty bumper (the JDM rear bumper is a bit shorter than the USDM one) and its a couple inches short on either side.

Yeahh, it just doesn't quite match up right, makes the front bumper look really bulky. Whats the opinion on the wald lip? I think the OEM rear might look okay but sideskirts are likely necessary. Maybe sideskirts and front with rear mudguards..

I was going to order this 2 week ago. I call up the vendor they said it was on back order.
