nope, but i know the guy that wants it

I DID IT!!!!!!!! well at least just the front end...lol. My car was involved in an accident a couple of weeks ago in which my front end got f*cked up so I took the liberty of using some of my insurance company's money towards a well deserved upgrade.:tup: The front itself is not done yet though, i'm waiting for the bottom spoiler to come in by wednesday along with two new fender liners that are specifically for the Nismo bumper cover. As for the $1,100 dollar ridiculously over priced engine under cover...well, i'm almost 100% sure it won't be necessary. I'll get back to you guys with more details on the parts needed sometime this week, for now here's the pics of the front end along with a couple of profile pics so you guys can see how the bodylines flow with the new bumper, I personally think it looks a million times better than the fangs and it probably should have come this way from the factory, but to each his own. Kind of reminds me of my old V2 350Z front end as well...so I threw in some pictures for comparisons sake. :driving:

^looks awesome, yeah i had a v2 frontend on my 350, and it does look like that. awesome upgrade

interesting

Thank you for the compliment. Good to hear that someone else that had the same set up agrees too.

Mike... I shipped the engine cover and accessory covers too :D

just checked tracking, tuesday delivery scheduled. thank ya sir

I just checked with a local dealer here in Hawaii about buying the nismo body kit, he quoted me 2500 for the full set up. I did however forget to inquire if that was the nismo S-tune stuff or the actual nismo kit. Additionally, I inquired for the 2010 cooled seats in red, and he told me 6200 total per seat and said that its purchased 'ala carte' and not as a whole unit. :icon14:

Wow, 6200 a seat. Just wow. Lol. OEM parts for you. Better off trading your car in for the anniversary edition.

HustlerX5 -

great news! Looks like your the first one to attempt the Nismo bumper on a non-nismo. Any update on an EXACT parts list that is needed? Are you saying a new metal bumper support is not needed?

I saw on eBay a ca Nissan dealer is selling several nismo bumpers for $250 this morning. Not sure if it's a error on pricing.

This? Link

By looking around a bit more on that user/dealers shop:
~There are two front bumper pieces, they come with ZERO mounting equipment. So if it does not work with stock pieces you are SOL, which I can be it will not mount with stock hardware
~They also have the rear bumper by the looks of things, but the same thing.
~No side skirts

Installing the bumper should be fairly easy with stock bolts and nuts. However a new undertray will be required. A person can make one or buy the real tray and whatever else goes down below. Or leave the tray off.

Good find guys! those are some pretty good pricing too.

Also, it is about 250 for each part, but another 200 for shipping (not horrible). If anyone can get in contact with this dealership and find out if these are real Nismo parts (not S-tune).

Those are the Nismo and not the S-Tune. They sell the S-Tune kit as well in a seperate ebay acution for over $600, but they come painted to match factory colors.

we need this 'Nismo bumpers can or can not be mounted with stock hardware' mystery solved!

the West Covina Dealer isn't too far from my house, so I think I'm going to go over there and pick up the bumper. They also sell the front bumper diffuser for over $400. I'm not sure if that is a requirement to make it work or not.

Anyone know of a good paint shop in the LA area?

i can find this out by this evening...

"Excellent" - Mr. Burns

So what was the verdict with the bumper fitting?

sorry i forgot to inqure.. When taking off the bumper for my intakes i dont see it being able to not interchange as its simply the bolts under the hood, 1 bolt in each fender well, and the clips under the headlights..

i am confident that it fits with no issues but i will find out 100%

yes please do and report back! If it's discovered that we can simply buy the $200 nismo bumper without all the 'other' stuff there will be many happy Z owners here!

I had a chance to go to the dealer and look at the bumber up close again. The bottom tray seems pretty essential to keeping the bumbper from getting beat up, bent or otherwise damaged from low curbs. You may be able to attach the Nismo bumper without it, but you may not want to in the long run. The problem is that tray is expensive.

Any word on availability of the rear Nismo spoiler?

yeah like right now if you have $2k+

x2, the tray is super expensive.. i wonder if a company can take the time out to make a replica of the bottom tray ... the shop by me rarely drives their Z and i dont believe they have it on there now, but with the little driving they do with that car they can get away with it...

i wonder if anyone has tried to rig their stock under tray to fit that bumper.. the problem is that not ALL 370z owners are on this site :mad: so someone some where may know. If anyone seens a non nismo 370 with the bumper installed CHASE THEM DOWN! lol

It can be done!
 

Hello,
I'm a long-time lurker first-time poster. I have had the Nismo front bumper successfully and neatly installed onto my base / sport 370. All you really need to buy is the bumper (about $350 or less), front bumper diffuser ($470 - $624) and (optionally) the front fender liners (about $130 each. You'll need two sets -- one for each wheel well).
The liners can be hard to get. I was told by my dealership's parts person that the liners currently aren't stocked anywhere in the U.S. so you have to order them direct from Japan, which can mean unpredictably lengthy delivery times. However, a body shop can fabricate reasonable facsimiles easily enough.
The liners, labeled "protectors" by Nissan, cover the gap in the outer wheel wells created by the wider Nismo bumper. They also allow the bumper's fenders to be riveted into place just inside the outer wheel well. Trust me, these liners (or their fabricated replacements) are a MUST. Your car will look like crap without them.
I can say with absolute certainty that your stock engine undertray will work just fine. It can be pulled forward slightly and completely fastened to the front diffuser that attaches to the bottom of the Nismo bumper. No need to spend $1133.98 on the Nismo's flared undertray.
You don't need to get much extra hardware to bolt the bumper on. All your existing bolts and fasteners can be retrofitted, and the extra you'll need are readily available at the dealerships and can be easily obtained by a body shop, if they don't keep them handy already.
Hope this helps.

Any pictures of this Greed, install or post install?

Greed - great friggin post! This is the info everyone has been waiting for! Kinda sucks that you need the liners and diffuser but at least you dont need the extra hardware, brace, undertray etc. Now if only we can find an aftermarket company to step up and make CF replicas for less $$$ than OEM Nismo.

and yes...PICS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so from the sounds of it, the nismo front end conversion is still expensive, not due to the undertray as we all thought but due to other pieces

and what is this diffuser everyone speaks of?

There is no part listed there

Mike the undertray is the plastic dust guard/oil guard under the car ;)

oh so the diffuser is the undertray? diffuser makes it sound like its a lip on the bumper or something. thanks mike!

np ;)

How about the Nismo rear bumper ?

The diffuser is not the engine undertray. Its a big piece of smooth black rubber that's molded to fit the underside of the front bumper. It fits like a lower lip and has both aesthetic and functional utility. I don't know why Nissan calls it a diffuser but that's what the parts gal researched for me. Once the diffuser is fastened onto the bottom of the bumper, the stock engine undertray can now be fastened to the diffuser. Without the diffuser, you won't be able to attach the undertray (either the Nismo or stock undertray).
My bumper is on already but I'll see what I can do about getting some pics posted. Might be a little while, as I don't own a digital camera. All my money goes to my car :tiphat:
I've attached a diagram that included the diffuser. Its labeled in red.

Well I am about three weeks late on my answer that i said i would have.. My car was recently in the nissan owners body shop directly behind the nissan dealership for warranty work to paint my front bumper do to my bumper color being way off. The shop is Performance AutoBody in Smithtown, NY ....

I was going to inquire about the bumper when I picked up my car and to my suprise there was my Z and another black sport Z sitting there with the nismo bumper on it.. I asked them all about it and they said it was just about $1,000 in parts total. His car was in a wreck and needed massive work so I am sure he had no problem getting these parts with 15k+ damage on the car :eek:, which was covered by insurance.

I looked over the entire bumper, from where the lip was and along the fender walls, and it looked completely factory... It seemed as if the under spoiler or diffuser is very neccasary.

It did not look as if they fabricated anything on the fender walls EXCEPT it seemed like they had put screws about every 3-4 inches with some type of device because they were in there real snug and it wasnt a screwdriver head or a bolt than can be taken out with a socket. If that person has to remove there fender wall they may run into a little difficulty but either way it looked great

Im not sure if this is someone on here's 370z but it still had the temporary sticker on the window and was coming out of the shop with 15k+ damage but it does look pretty slick. Not the route I would want to take to get this bumper, but in the end his car did look good

Here are some pics taken with my iphone camera , so they are horrible quality.

In my opinion it looks great, but for the $1,000 in parts + paint/labor to just get the bumper it may not be worth it. And from what it seems like to me, I would def not reccomend this install without all the proper parts required.

But anyone in NY area looking to do this upgrade this is the second one this shop has done and they said it was a breeze to do just pricey. And yes it clips in and connects to the car just as our stock bumper cover does.

I would go for a front lip and the Nismo rear bumper.
