:gtfo2: That analogy is absurd.... never..ever compare a Z to any Scion lol

LOL.. I knew somebody would say it. I'm just saying the difference between a Nismo and Sport or Touring is not worth the money. LOL Haha...

Those ducts are awesome!

scruffydog 04-27-2013 07:39 PM

Thanks!

The ducts are amazing, and the Nismo looks GREAT with the sport wheels. Makes it stand out from the other nismos for sure.

No attempt on the rear bumper?

really digging what you did with the air ducts...very nice work!

No mention of the conversion for the Rear bumper but so far as I can tell only one bracket is different...

yea, the bracket is the only thing different. It's an easy swap from the stock. I'll try to see if I could find any pics.

Thanks, My Z was caught in a WInd Gust during that Tropical Storm Last Thursday that blew me off the road and I ended up clipping a guard rail with my rear Bumper, the Dealership body shop made the mistake of ordering me a Nismo Rear bumper for my Sport Model and I was trying to see how it could work

You could totally get by without the bracket everything lines up, only this is the center bottom won't have a body clip

Here are some pictures of the rear bumper install. You'll see that sheet metal bracket in the middle. The Nismo one is different length. But overall the entire bumper just snap fits in the rear unlike the front bumper where it requires a ton of additional parts.

It is held onto the rear bumper brace by 3 body clips:

And this entire assy can get transferred over as is:
