Snakes709 · 03-20-2010, 01:47 PM

this is what i would have done too

unless you plan to keep this car forever, when it's time to sell it, it's going to be tough for you to recover the expenses you have made to make your car look like a nismo.

yup thats the one. I think its a few inches longer on the nismo so thats why it needs to be replace. But im saying screw it, when my nismo parts come in im leaving that piece off.

yeah these fender 'protectors' are definetely extra prices unique to the Nismo. I can get you the two part numbers (left &right) from Dustin at Z1 if you want. They are not the fender liners, they are seperate from those.

Thano · 03-21-2010, 06:24 PM

That would rock. Definately hook me up with those part numbers when possible!

Snakes709 · 03-21-2010, 10:53 PM

I called my local dealership. Those pieces that add onto the fender liners or "protectors" as they call them are $68 cdn each...probably the cheapest part on the car...lol

SE · 03-23-2010, 02:38 PM

Thano · 03-23-2010, 02:39 PM

I'm up to about 4k

Also, I need ideas on how I should badge it! Should I go silver hamburgers or the "Z" in the front middle and back middle? Should I do FairladyZ or 370Z?

Let me know what you think!!!!

370Zvetlana · 03-24-2010, 01:12 PM

is it really cheaper than a trade in? plus the nismo wheels cost out of the ***......

I been arguing with gf over that same thing. She thinks i should put Fairlady on one saide, Nissan emblem in the middle and Nismo on the other side. Would look nice however, i cant be hipicritical. I use to own a Cobalt SS Supercharged and a few of my buddies put SS tags on there car when it was a Cobalt LS or LT..one guy even put the body kit on it with a custom turbocharged kit and put Cobalt SS Turbocharged. I hated it, its not a really SS so dont put the tags on. So in the case of the 370z...its not a real nismo or fairlady so i dont think i should put the tags on.
