Need help guys.

I need a foam piece that sits behind your entire stock front bumper.

anyone got one laying around?


No matter what shape it is in, I'm going to have to shape it a little anyways.


Please let me know if you got one.


Thanks.

I need to place it behind my Nismo.


When I did my Nismo back in the day I threw mine out cuz it was damaged.


Now since there is no support behind it, it rests on the aluminium brackets located on bumper support, and when wind pushes against the bumper it's pushed back by those brackets and cracks my paint.

So I need to put something behind my bumper that will provide the support along the entire bumper and not just in some spots and cause paint cracking.

Why don't you just buy some Styrofoam from a hardware store, a rasp/sander and make one that fits?

I might do that if I don't find OEM one

and I don't think hardware stores sell any kind of foam that I can use like that.

All you need to do is find an expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam. Same stuff the car manufactures use. Or you can cough up the $30-$50 and just get a new one from the dealer.

So you never gave them a call then to find out? I looked on the internet at OEM Infiniti Parts and they have it for right around $50 or so.

there is no need to call my local dealer anyways, their prices are ALWAYS jacked the fvck up to levels unreachable to men.

Yeah. Online price seems to be somewhere around $60
