Nismo body kit for stock 370

MJB...yes I am aware.

Not too concerned with sanding, time, effort, fit. Body work is fun. My folks build kit cars in their retirement so I pretty much have a body shop and paint booth at my disposal. I am used to working with fiberglass, so I'd also have to figure out how to repair this material if I went with it. My vet buddies agree with you guys that duraflex is crap but want more opinions. My concern is durability. I'm rough on anything with wheels.

Duraflex = Cheap Sh**! If it were me I would get and authentic Powerhouse AMUSE kit, with that said its your car do what you want.

If you like it rough then go for it! My 240sx was my first drift car so I would hit cones and break pieces off of the front of the bumper. Then I would go to Autozone and buy a fiberglass repair kit and make it stronger than ever. After that my bumper would fly off the car since I held it on with zip ties and the bumper would just slide across the concrete with little to no damage because I had reinforced the bottom with multiple layers.

Stillen front bumper is urethane which is flexible and extremely durable, it won't crack like fiberglass.. I hAve one and I couldn't reccomend it enough. It Also helps with cooling and for better Airflow if you have an oil cooler and/or cold air intakes like stillen gen 3

OHH! I just found out I stillen makes brake cooling duct inserts too. Wicked. Thanks for the info.

LOL! Sounds like my first sport bike. I crashed it so many times I had zipties holding stuff together too...that and duct tape! Finally I just gave up and rode it without half the plastics. So drifting huh? That's a blast. My dad had me practicing that when i was 14, but I can't say I ever perfected it. Got out of racing for a while and I know better than to take advantage of roundabouts...being female has it's advantages with speeding, but that one even girls get nailed for. I'll have to pit in the racing threads here. I'm leaning towards OEM or Stillin. OEM will probably win since I have a thing for "fangs" Ha! (Don't you all run me outta here yet over that one)
