Just a thought, My plan is to do away with the front emblem and smooth out the nose.
Your a mechanical engineer too like me, cool, to bad were 3k apart.
I'll be looking over your shoulder

Thanks buddy, this project was supposed to be a 2 yr long project considering so many things I need to save up for. I too thought I might smooth out the front emblem too but my car will be too blacked out. We'll see. Still have time to decide.

Where did you order the bumper from?

Sent from my RM-820_nam_att_100 using Board Express

It started with me finding the front bumper for sale ~$400 and side skirts for $350 from a forum member. It lured me in, now I'm screwed collecting the rest of the parts which will cost me $2000+. But it's finally coming together. I'm getting the OEM Nismo under shroud Friday and Nismo Fender Liner Splash guard sometime this week as well.

I'm in the process of converting front to Nismo front.

Do you know how to use that weird looking rivet to install the bumper brackets? It looks like a folded umbrella with a long pin.

Also, are you planning to paint with your under facia installed? I'm debating whether to paint first and then fit other small pieces on or the other way around..

Gap:

I am actually thinking of fabricate my own out of flexible plastic sheet rather than pay $90/ea for those 4 pieces ($400+) but I will use a rivet gun to mount it on my bumper. I haven't gotten that part yet, but I assume it's like a Rivet gun. I will paint the rivets black if the OEM Rivets don't come colored black. I think I can get away with hiding it because I have a Magnetic Black 370z.

Let me know what you end up doing. Cheers!

Yeah that's the part.. I guess I may have to either 'purchase' rivet gun or have them done @ a shop..
