Nismo Body Kit Conversion w/ Nismo CF High Wing

sinceday1 · 02-12-2013, 10:28 AM

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..
