11' Nismo is this stock or... ?

There should be a small plate mounted between the seats that indicates it's a Nismo and has your car's production number for that model year on it. While the presence or absence of the plate isn't definitive, it is an additional clue.

My 2011 Nismo looks like yours.

Plastic and metal panels won't match perfectly even from factory. Look at the gas gap, also a little mismatched. Yay Nissan!

Yes it's 11' 0380. There's no doubt it's a factory Nismo.

I appreciate your advice, and heed it to the uninitiated.

The title of this thread is misleading, sorry guys/gals. Should be somethign like "11' Nismo is this bumper original".

i think the only way to tell if the bumper is at least OEM is to take it off, I believe OEM has a sticker inside that says Nissan.

Here's a picture so you can see where the sticker with the VIN number should be. Should be easy to spot assuming you have the OE bumper.

cooltoy · 07-23-2019, 09:53 PM

Where? In the bottom right hand corner?

CRiZO · 07-23-2019, 10:20 PM

Yeah. It's on my 2015 sport too. The rear bumper has it inside just behind the plate I believe.

Nismo is covered in VINs. When I first bought the car, popped the hood, and saw the bumper VIN, my first thought was "Oh God, how expensive is this bumper that it has a VIN plate on it?"

especially with the 3 stage paint like the PW.

the front. The rear hatch has the black VIN. Where is the sticker on the rear bumper ? is it easy to remove the trunk trim to access it if it's under there ?
