did you post this from your personal photobucket? i've got no problem with people linking to my pictures but i prefer for them to stay on my website...

also, that is, in fact, an OEM front bumper and $600 for the set sounds about right. that doesn't include the ducting to the brakes either. might want to contact DWW Motorsports, the shop that built Brian's car, for more information since they run it on their car.

It was linked from another post on this forum located here:

It isn't from my photobucket but I don't think that reposting an image from another thread here counts as image leeching but maybe that's just me.

Yeah $600 for the set + 130 for the ducting kit + install sounds a LOT more reasonable. I'm going to poke around and see what I can find.

Sure, I wasn't attempting to steal pictures or anything. Really love the look quite a bit though and I've been itching for a new project.

HKYStormFront · 11-13-2012, 08:13 PM

oh no man, don't get me wrong. i was just trying to find out who put it up on their photobucket. i've got no problem with people sharing my pictures, quite the opposite. i'd just prefer they use my website (which has a handy share button) to do it since it brings traffic to my site

The Stillen ducting kit is made to work with the non Nismo bumper. They will not directly work with the oem Nismo ducts. I think you have to make your own hose kit to use these ducts and im not sure Nissan has a hose kit for public sale either.

Even then, 600 bucks for two small pieces of carbon fiber is ridiculous. I wish someone would make some replicas of these.

there are people working on it... not sure how close they are to production. to make them out of real carbon was not going to save much money.

He's right. Check out CFE's prices for say..a carbon shifter boot cover. I can see $600 for those two pieces easy. Love the look but want a "real" number (that isn't $2000) to get it up and running.

This is true...

Nope, learned my lesson. The cost of fixing my mistakes is much greater than if I had just paid someone to do it and hung out to learn what to do.

Bah! If I can shave the front hamburger, you can cut a couple of holes in your bumper.

dmhenderson · 11-13-2012, 10:16 PM

Ok I shaved my front (and rear) hamburgers off just fine for the EVO-R emblems but the headlight disaster was... well it was a thing.

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.

Edit: Also, you're right. The paint job was throwing me a bit. It just has vents. Those would look fantastic on my car.

Go to page 6 of my thread. That's where the brake duct install starts.

If you have any questions about the install. Let me know. 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
