Nismo 370z body panels

Greed

More shots of my hybrid "Nismo." I hope these are clearer than the last bunch. I added the S-tune spoiler since my last post. Also, I'm happy to report I have had zero issues with the Nismo front bumper install.

Thanks, Cobra. I appreciate it. I took a big chance on this mod but I think it worked out pretty well.

Equinox

I noticed they painted the inner portion of the "mouth" of the Nismo bumper, when it comes stock blacked out. Ie, you aren't supposed to be able to see anything behind the grill.

Equinox >>> on the bottom leading edge of the fascia there is that black plastic piece that bolts to the bottom of the lip. Just by eyeballing it do you think it could be replicated in CF and made to stick out or protrude a bit to create a splitter type look but still fit like factory otherwise?

Greed

You're right -- I never noticed that. I think it looks good either way though. On yours, I see your tow hook is painted black. Looks much less obtrusive that way. Did you paint it yourself, or did you have the foresight to ask to the body shop to do it?

Edit: Nevermind :-) I think you have an actual Nismo there.

If you don't mind me asking Greed, how much did you get the nismo bumper for? Also, I'm guessing it doesn't come painted?

Greed

The front bumper cost me about 350.00 from my local dealer and yeah, it comes unpainted (primer only). West Covina Nissan in California might have an even better price on it though if you want to google them, and, if you don't mind having it shipped to you. I tried to buy from them at first but we ran into a shipping problem. You'll also need to buy the front bumper diffuser, and that could run to close to $625.00

Thanks for the follow up. I'm guessing the diffuser is the plastic undertray? Also, how was the install, was it as simple as just bolting it on?

Looks very good btw.....

Greed

Thanks!

The diffuser is actually constructed out of rubber. It attaches to the underside of the bumper and extends back to the engine's plastic undertray, where it is also attached.

The install is very simple if you have all the parts. In addition to the bumper itself, the diffuser is essential -- you simply gotta have it. You'll also need fender liners (or protectors). I don't really know what Nissan calls them but this diagram shows you the pieces I'm referring to. Those two parts the lines I drew are pointing to are the "fender liners." Without them, you'll have an ugly gap in your wheel well b/c the Nismo front bumper is wider than stock.

Now, back when my install was done, the fender liners, which cost about 120.00 per set (about 240.00 to cover both sides) were not available in the USA so I would have to order them direct from Japan, which could mean unpredictably lengthy delivery times. So I opted to have the body shop fabricate some pieces to do the same job. This turned out great, so I probably saved a little money on that.

Otherwise, no problems. The Nismo is a 370Z, just like yours. The Nismo parts fit the stock car just fine. You don't need any extra hardware really.

Hope that answered your question.
