Nismo 370z body panels

Caravanshaka · 08-03-2009, 09:04 PM

They have a walk-in, but it looks just like any other dealership parts department with a little bit extra in that it has a few performance/aftermarket stuff hanging on the walls for various Nissans. It isn't exciting, not worth a day-trip. But, if you wanted a bumper, you could save shipping costs and come pick it up

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
