Question: Screws for Front Fascia & Diffuser
 
Anyone know what screws & nuts to use to attach bottom Fascia (Diffuser) to the Front Bumper Fascia?

In this diagram, it's showing to use 370z Body Clip for the application, but when I went to the dealership to check out a Nismo 370z, it's Screws.

This is what the OEM One looks like, anyone know the P/N for the Nut & the Hex Philips Machine Screw?

Anyone know which kind is it? I'm thinking it's the Left set, but the screw seems different than the OEM Nismo one, the washer seem smaller in Diameter. It problem isn't the Tapping Screw w/ Nut set.

I am using the Nut Clip from my rear bumper License plate.

Here's a comparison of the Tapping Screw w/ what's on the OEM Nismo 370z.
The OD of the washer is bigger than what's used.

I know some people used the Plastic Body Clip for their car, but I prefer to use the screw if I could.

I can take a picture of the ones used on my car and upload it when I have a chance. I did the same thing, sport to nismo conversion.

Just by going on my gut feeling, the left clip and the left most screw are what I have on my car right now with my nismo bumper.

I managed to use some body clips which held up the 2 piece together well enough. From a cost and weight saving perspective, I guess I will just use Body clips instead of the metal nut with screw.

New to the forum and my second Z in a long time, but I’m looking to do the Nismo nose on the 370Z I recently bought, I have all the major pieces coming but not the small stuff that they nickel and dime you on, one being the 62675 bracket. Do you have a picture of it, Could probably fabricate this in my shop.

I'm actually converting my car right now if you want to follow up on my progress here:
Nismo Conversion

I intend to make my own bracket, the little stuff costs way too much. I am going with Black plastic clips instead of the Nut with screws. The last thing I want to do is spend ton of money on little screws, Fender Liners covers, brackets. But at the same time, I'm trying to not skimp out on parts that make a huge difference in looks/function.
