Getting Fuji Front bumper

drentooth · 10-08-2017, 09:47 AM

Planning on picking up this bumper for my 370z because of the aggressive look. Only thing that's holding me back is the fact that it shows the reservoir tank on the right front. Is there any way this can be concealed without having any problems???

Paint the reservoir black?

Just for fun I would run a piece of narrow painters tape on the side from top to bottom so you can see fluid level when you're up close.

Some forced induction kits require replacement of the windshield washer reservoir with a smaller one to make room for piping. The intercooler will draw eyes away from the reservoir anyway. At least that's the direction I'd go

I removed mine when routing brake ducting and and oil cooler lines. Haven't missed it...

I guess you could do that without adding boost. Just seems a little half-assed to me

I believe my Varis instructions also recommend painting it black since the Arising bumper also has large vents.

I ended up removing it and like echoshotz haven't missed it a bit.

Don't let the reservoir concern prevent you from getting a cool front you like.

Create something like this if you don't want to paint the stock one black and can't find a smaller reservoir: DIY: Windshield Washer Reservoir for the Boosted

I was looking into this with the idea of getting the Fuji front for better brake ducting, since it'd create room to route ducts through
