Base/Sport to Nismo conversion/FRONT BUMPER Cost breakdown

I didn't use rivets, I used screws. I think the part # is listed. They just keep the piece attached to bumper.

gotcha! thanks for the help again. I am going to convert my car next month. I still have to collect these little hardware. Which ain't cheap. So I might be bothering you so more if you don't mind.

Default 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.
