The factory kit is WAY too high for me.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Why would you want to copy a Nismo?

A guy posted recently that he made molds of the Nismo kit. I do not feel like looking for it, but its here somewhere.

AIT racing makes one Extreme Dimensions makes one, I was considering this route. Then I saw one in person.. Without massive amounts of prep it won't look right or fit right, IMO the front bumper doesn't even look like a Nismo. Reminds me of back in my Acura days when people were making shitty reps of the JDM type R front end.. Best bet find the OEM used or cough up the cash for the real deal.. These aren't Hondas we're playing with.. This is a $30k+ sports car, treat it as such.. Just my 2 cents
