dic-k-ing (this is a filtered word???) up the front bumper would be more expensive than replacing a pair of headlights so I'll probably use my guys at D&V who work on lambos and like doing this kind of stuff plus they don't mind letting me hang around while they do their thing.

Damn! That's sweet that you're close to a high end shop like that! Lucky guy!

I think you need to walk around your nismo a little more, the picture you posted is the same as the one on your car right now.

Only different it's not black

Are you guys missing the fact the RC has an actual screen grille in the opening? That would not be hard to replicate at all. These guys sell all the materials needed:

customcargrills.com - Custom Car & Truck Grills - Billet & Mesh Grill Inserts

Sadly, I'm actually thinking about it.

The only thing I ran into is the placement of the windshield washer bottle on the right side. Not a lot of room to put the brake hose through there. Any hose bigger then the one in the Stillen kit won't fit unless you remove the washer bottle. And I had to shorten the back of the ducts too.

Part numbers:
Left: 41153-RTZ40, List $612.00
Right: 41152-RTZ40, List $612.00

Rusty - as I posted on your build thread, great job! :tup:

Thank you for posting the duct part numbers. Where did you order them from?

Thanks! :tiphat:

The grille is not going to be something easily had. That grille shown in the first post does not even exist anymore on THAT exact car. The NISMO RC shown in that image was pulled apart and redone to meet Grand-AM specs. Many of the parts shown in the original media pictures of the RC have either been changed or completely scrapped.

Like all other NISMO RC components, getting them will take an act of Congress and most likely deep pockets to get as Japan does not easily release those parts to just anyone...Not event to Nissan North America.

As far as the CF Ducts go, there has been discussion by a few parties who have looked into reproducing them. No ETA or final word on pricing.

Thanks for weighing in. I'll put the idea back on the shelf for now as you're the authority on the subject. My girlfriend will be pleased.

i'm pretty sure doran racing was talking about making some along with their uber-awesome UCA's. might want to shoot BJ (Dwnshft) a pm and let him know you are interested in a set if they ever go to market with them. knowing what kind of market there is, even if it's for a one-time-limited-run production, can never hurt. i think they were also going to sell the ducting kit as well which included a bracket that goes onto the spindle to hold the end of those ducts.

Not crazy about the back but that front profile is just pure sex.

Someone on the forums pointed me to D&V and I will literally never take my car anywhere else for custom stuff/bodywork (although they won't mess with your headlights).

Also, they're not exactly "close". I live in Germantown, MD and D&V is in Sterling, VA. It's a good hour plus drive each direction - but so worth it.

Type-R stickers make it go faster or so I'm told.
