Nismo Front Bumper

theDreamer

But you said it yourself, you do not have a front bumper that is equal to the Nismo OEM front so of course yours will be cheaper. I had my rear bumper replaced to the Nismo OEM, paint cost $600 but this was all done via insurance (lady hit me) so I did not care.

I will just say it again, quality comes at a cost. You did not get an exact OEM Nismo front so it is cheaper, I bet you had fitment issues so lower cost, did it bolt up to the coupe undertray?

That is one major cost for the Nismo front bumper. The OEM Nismo undertray is $1500 (this is just Nissan being stupid), but there is a good alternative at a higher quality for $500 but cost of front bumper plus this undertray needed adds up.

Right. But the quality from what you're saying comes from the fitment. Yes an OEM bumper will line up perfectly but if I can get my cheaper bumper to do the same then it levels out in terms of quality.

If you're talking about quality in terms of taking damage I'm pretty sure that the OEM bumper will be destroyed in any significant impact, just as mine would.

No, my bumper didn't line up with the undertray. However, it didn't cost 1500 to make it do so either. And I agree that prices add up.. but damn. It parts alone are costing almost $2000 and I can get a kit completely installed for $1900 I'm always going to go that route.

I guess I'm saying I prefer an experienced/user friendly shop over everything.
