You've done nice work, but I think I prefer the hamburger on. I'm wondering what a smoked chrome hamburger might look like on PG.

Kinda looks more like a catfish nurse shark of a car, it's hilarious.
Hopefully it won't crack and look like crap down the road. My High end Body shop was unwilling to do this for me when I had my front and rear bumpers replaced. Good luck, and report back in a year!....

And I am glad you did. :)
Though the one thing is, the Nismo front is longer than the coupe nose so it might be different.

I love the look without the Nissan Burger! Great job and thanks for posting it

love it. i'll add it to the list for down the line when i respray the gravel catcher that most call a front bumper.

Looks good!

Hey I may be taking my front bumper off soon. I noticed there are some rivets in the fender/wheel arch on the bumper cover, are those holding on to the fender liner!? Do the liners have to come off with the NISMO bumper on removal?

I think you need to remove the rivets to pull the cover back to get to the screws that hold the bumper, if I remember correctly....

rivets? not sure what you're talking about?

the nismo bumper removes exactly the same way as the factory bumper. the splash guard has some extra snaps because it's bigger, but it doesn't need to be removed for the bumper to come off.

plastic rivets yes

Vipor, look in front of your front tire at the painted part of your bumper that wraps around into the wheel arch. There are (I think) 3 black rivets there.

So just to confirm (and sorry to get OT) you don't have to drill them out to detach a fender liner to get the bumper cover off right?

Nope, to take the front bumper off you just had to get those pop pins out, a few dozen screws.

Maybe the "hamburger", but not the Nismo emblem, dude!

vipor 01-24-2010 12:47 PM
in the fender well you have to remove 1 clip, then pull back the black plastic. behind that there's a single 10mm bolt attaching the bumper to the fender. no rivets

here's the back of the car, so far I've only gotten rid of the 370z emblem.

I am looking to shave all of the lettering and contemplated shaving the NISSAN logos also. The front looks good, but I am not sure whether I like the front without it. It looks nice, but like something is missing. Dilemmas................
