Very true, since I have to pay tax anyways, may as well save some money. Well I will wait till they get more parts in, my main pieces are the rear & the wheels.

Seriously... Do you think they will sell you a complete front Nismo Factory bumper for $300 when the Nismo badge for the tailgate is $210??? Even a set of Z floor mats sell for $150... The numbers your quoting don't add up at all...

yea ... i dont know about that - might be quoting you OEM parts man...

courtesy knows their stuff. They are one of the best parts departments in the US.

Maybe I'll stop by later this week and see what they say in person, see if they have one in stock and such.

Nismo S-Tune part numbers:

Nismo: Front Chin Spoiler - MSRP: $760.00
Part Number: K60A0-1EA3A

Nismo: Front Nose Finisher - MSRP: $410.00
Part Number: F2070-1EA3A

...Now, If I owned Nissan, why would I sell the Factory Nismo front bumper for $300, then sell the accessories above that are added to an already existing 370Z bumper and sell them for 4x the cost of a complete bumper??? I wouldn't... They don't... Very simple math...

Yes, I agree, the $306 price for a true Nismo bumper doesn't make sense.

FYI, my NISMO bumper is only $380-400. So I believe what Courtesy says on yours. Remember it doesn't include all the other parts you need that could add up to $1200~ bucks for just the bumper.

Other parts?

Did your S-tune come pre-painted?

Yes they did, however the unpainted parts are not that much cheaper than the pre-painted parts. Factory paint is always more durable - especially when it's not a metal application.

umm no not true for nissan paint...

UnderBody cover panel, $400~, brackets and bolts (all add additional amount to the price). The normal 350z under panel would not work, I would assume the 370z one also would not work as the nose is longer.

"Durable"??????
 

"Durable"?????? Not Nissan paint on the front of a Z :bs:

Definitely false. Nissan paint is not near as good as a body shop could do on your car. Nissan is concerned about price and they will do the cheapest they can. Body shops warranty your car usually for a very long time, and want the paint to last. So they will add extra clear and use better paint.

Example of 350z NISMO pricing.

Z-1 Performance Automotive Services Inc. - NISMO V3 Aero Kit 350Z/380RS

Why not? I (an insurance company) just paid $349 (body shop price) for the regular stock unpainted front bumper. There's nothing magical about the Nismo part..Same plastic, different mold. Don't compare to pre-painted S-tune parts which are a completely different thing..

what other parts?

Now this makes perfect logic. Good example NIZMOZ...

Well this is my 1st Nissan car, Have had Nissan SUVs prior and one had body work done at the dealership. Factory paint never gave me any problems, but dealership paint flaked, faded, etc... As far as other makes, any other aftermarket bodykits etc, never held like my factory paints... Just stating my personal experiences...

If you ever tried to get the VQ35 Nismo panels you would know why im so skeptical about this...

Well a SUV is high off the ground and is not in danger of getting hit by debri so it won't show paint issues. I had a Titan and Pathfinder neither had issues. All the Nissan cars have issues because they are low, but also the paint chips easy.

OK I got some new information including part numbers and pricing! I will have more coming the rest of the week and some of the parts do not have released pricing until the next week or so...

I dont know what the aluminum parts are but that must be all the misc. parts and pieces for the front and rear bumpers... IDK I am just guessing I am waiting for a call back on it.

could be different shaped impact bars maybe? Those are expensive though, I know aluminum is ~$2.25/lb, but damn.

Any idea why there are 2 quantities for both aluminum parts?

So these are the Nismo ones right, not the s-tune?

Ok I got a call from Paul the parts manager just 5 secs ago. The aluminum parts are the wheels. The front fascia price does NOT include the front spoiler or under tray... He is getting me pricing on the rest of the parts needed for everything. I will update as I get more info ;)

I have my friend that is a Parts Manager get me all the prices as well. He gives discounts to our club members and other Internet Clubs. I will let you know what I find out when I do too.

Thanks for getting all this info everyone. :D

nice, the rear bumper should just be plug-n-play which makes it worth the $

Hopefully undercarriage parts won't be too bad on the front.

so the rear wheels are $286?? the fronts a lil less..... hmmmm

i wonder if you could order a Z and have them swap out the rims with these instead...

^^ I doubt that. My rear wheels are $1100 each retail.

rears msrp $1,137.17 each
fronts msrp $1,062.77 each

What are you SMOKING??? I want some of that!!! The wheels were listed at almost a grand a pop.

thats where i got it from.....

if im wrong.... oops

ya, and I linked the prices from his invoice that were related to those aluminum parts :tup:

ahhh

i called the local nissan dealership and inquired about this but they didnt know what they were talking about. i specifically asked about the NISMO 370z, not the S-TUNE. they gave me the prices that Smallywood said in a earlier post;

tskk. i'll wait till you guys get confirmation on the REAL NISMO parts/availability.

this is my first time changing bumpers or anything of that sort with any car. i didnt know you had to get additional parts asides from the bumper itself. i know the front lip comes separate from the front bumper but i didnt know there was other parts like what you mentioned, "under body cover panel". i thought the bumper came with everything it needs to be installed including bolts/brackets or w/e. i thought it was simple as; remove stock bumper, install new bumper, install lip.

hmmm, so basically we're looking @ a little less than 1g for the parts and components to have the Nismo front bumper & Nismo front lip & the additional parts that are necessary for installation right? :confused:

Last time I checked on the 370z the lip was part of the bumper itself. It was just part of the design like mine is. So it's all one piece. But yes, there are many pieces that are required to mount the bumper properly. Without that bottom cover on, (I have had mine off before to work under it), the front bumper flexes a great deal in the center that is a little scary to drive around like that as it would flap I would think.

ohh ok. yea hopefully the whole front bumper/lip is 1 piece. so basically we'll have to purchase the (1)front bumper with the attached lip & (2) bottom cover.

correct?

The lip, bumper and under tray are 3 separate pieces... I was just at the dealership last night and got a real close look at both the front and rear bumpers.

For the most part they have the same mounting points that I can tell so I think your regular brackets front and rear should work just fine. So that leaves the parts to be purchased as front bumper, Front lip and Front under spoiler...

So no info on the spoiler yet?
