lol..that's still 700 less than 2000. And it's not going to cost 700 to paint a front bumper.

I mean maybe I'm looking at it wrong. I'm looking at it in terms of efficiency. If I can achieve the same look/performance for cheaper, that's the way I'm going to go.

My car doesn't have the OEM Nismo bumper..but it's damn close. And my whole kit fit perfect for 1900 including price of the entire kit, fitment and paint and installation. Maybe that extra money is just for piece of mind...

yeah, its not the "fitting" part, its the damn facia pieces. Nissan definitely made a point of not wanting everyone just to hop on the Nismo body pieces to upgrade their cars. This is a huge thing on the G37 side and adding the Aero/IPL kit to sport/base models with a direct swap.

Parts, paint and labor was under $2k. That does NOT include the Zspeed under tray added later. Even if I hadn't done the conversion, I would have gotten a the regular ZSpeed under tray.

It's not $2,000 for a bumper. It's more like $1,300 for all the parts plus paint/install.

That's wayyyyyyyyyyyyy more reasonable... I've seen your thread on the conversion and it made sense. When I saw this one and it said 2000-2500 I was like nahhh that's ridiculous.

BTW your thread alone had me fighting with myself about converting mine. I can thank your thread for many sleepless nights and countless hours in front of a computer. LOL

Excellent work and beautiful car.

Remember that it includes parts you don't HAVE to have in order to make the bumper fit (ie. undershroud + side seals + harness)

If you just want the bumper and the under facia, OEM would cost around $1200.

Again, quality comes at price. It might look the same but fit and finish is definitely different if you are comparing OEM vs. aftermarket. Even with high quality, over priced Japanese developed kits, OEM always feels better and fits better.

I did almost the whole kit to my base + sport. Found someone on this forum who was selling front, rear and sides and bought it for $1600. If you want to see how it all turned out chek out my album

Had my local body shop do the work, grand total including the price i paid for the bodykit was around $3400.

If you buy it new from the dealer or Z1, you're talking close to that amount just for the kit, excluding the wing. Then tack on another $1000-$2000 for paint and labor.

If you can find someone selling their nismo kit, that is the way to go...but that is a rare occurance
