Got my NISMO front fitted last night. Now its onto getting it perfectly smooth and filling the gaps. Not really a fan of the OEM sidemarkers since they dont even blink with the directionals so I opted to shave them.

Bumper ground



Kitty hair filler



Kitty hair sanded



Filler

 

Looks good.

Now why aren't there panties on the floor with these images?

 

If the bumper is poly, then the long term results will not be pretty. After about 6 months of flexing and bumping, the hard filler and glass started to crack and separate on mine.

 

Ditto. I would've just blacked out the side markers and be done with it.

 

Ive been doing bodywork for over 10 years. Done the exact same procedure on other urethane kits, no issues.


I fabbed up beefy custom brackets at work for all the bolting points. The bumper doesnt move AT ALL, unlike the weaka$$ OEM one

 

well the good news is! no labor costs for you even if it does have problems!

 

Wanna sell me a set of these custom brackets for my nismo?

 

All primed up... wetsanding now

 

Looks good I was gonna do the same thing but I went the cheaper way and painted my sidemarkers ob..

 

nice work...gonna look clean..waiting for results..

 

clean!! Good work...

 

in for the finished result

 

Basecoat sprayed. Ill be wetsanding tomorrow morning and clearcoating after that. Install on Monday afternoon, possibly Sunday night

 

Nothing like doing your own work and knowing it's done right. Must be nice.

 

shaved is always good
