There would not, the 2015 Nismo is a single unit that sits on top of the whole rear hatch and thus meets together with the rear bumper seamlessly. That is why the rear bumper sticks out some, to accommodate the spoiler.

In this image you can see how it is a one piece that sits on top of the hatch.

If you were to put the 2015 spoiler on a non-Nismo 370Z or a pre-2015 Nismo, there would be an overhang.

Limeybastard 03-07-2015 03:17 AM

I know its one piece fella, that's why I mentioned that there wouldn't be a gap perhaps. ;-)

So now I'm assuming if I were to replace just my 2014 spoiler with the 15 nismo version then perhaps I may have the opposite effect whereby the spoiler overhangs .. Who knows..

My first criteria which I don't think has been answered as of yet by vendor Julio is if the 15 uses existing holes or not. Personally, I can't be botheres either A drilling new holes or B filling existing ones. If its going to be an easy swap meaning hardest part removing existing spoiler with no damage then I'd give it a go.

Okay so from my understanding from this thread, for the front bumper you should get the red inserts (paint them whatever color), fender liner add on is not necessary, under tray is not necessary (buy you only get 2 bolts to attach to the base under tray?)
Any other parts I'm missing? It would be great to get all the findings and update the first post on this thread with it.

Yes, there would be an overhang fella, as mentioned at the end of my post.

As far as the holes, no clue. But logic would say that they would be the same. No reason why they would drill separate hatches for Nismo model. But Nissan logic is not always logical.

So what we know so far is that the fitment to be prefect one would also need to fit both items. Rear bumper as well as spoiler?

Front Bumper
2 X Red inserts
2 X black inserts (they are little ones that go down in the bottom corners below DRL's)
2 X fender liner extensions

They also ordered a small insert that goes in the grill that no one else had mentioned still waiting on it though to see exactly what it is

That is correct.

I think the over hang might be easier to live with and less noticeable, then the bumper sticking out.

Unlike most , I'd be just interested in the rear spoiler and possibly the rear bumper. Personally, I'd have the rear bumper painted and also the lower part black minus the red stripe.

Anyone ever resolve the elundertray issue? Is this not able to be ordered? I'm thinking of getting the z1 undershroud and drilling the appropriate holes where necessary. I'd assume some trimming of the forward edge would also be needed.

Looks good. I think it still works pretty good without the DRL. Did you paint the entire grill area black cherry as well?

xero8p 03-15-2015 06:56 PM

Yeah it's solid black cherry.

Needs the skirts, I think.

xero8p 03-15-2015 07:48 PM

I plan on the whole aero kit as money allows.

Be aware of the rear. It will stick out some without the wing, and I am not sure if the wing would fit a convertible trunk lid, as it is shaped differently then the coupe I believe.

xero8p 03-15-2015 10:07 PM

Yeah I saw that but got plenty of time to figure that out

Anyone know when the release date for the 2015 nismo verts are? Might have to wait a bit for the vert wing to become available.

Is the center section unpainted the correct colors it would come stock or does that require some paint? Looking at pics it looks like there is a slight grayish color on that bottom section between the 2 red insert area.

xero8p 03-16-2015 09:06 PM

The center was finished I believe in a grey but filling in the nismo badge holes caused it all to be painted.

Ok thanks I don't have the nismo badges. Is it really noticeable?

I ordered the side skirts today also after seeing the Nismo in person I liked the side skirts even more. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do for the rear. Right now I'm thinking spats just not sure.

Asheth 03-17-2015 05:37 AM

When you click on 370z on the left side you will see a selection that says New Nissan OEM parts. Click there and then you will see the kit.

DIGItonium 03-18-2015 01:33 PM

I feel an itch. If I were to plan this out, I'd probably repaint the entire car a different color in the process. Lots of $ which could very well fund an engine build.

-Phuong (Still has a Z)

Asheth 03-18-2015 02:50 PM

I'm trying to get that paint code. KAE, K52, KAT maybe in the center piece it is a gray. The little spot between the red inserts is also this dark metallic gray.

I think the GT-R might be using the paint scheme.

Doing some research I think it is KAE for the gray and the Red trim color is A15.

As a side question would anyone have insight on hooking up the OEM drls on a pre-13 Z? I'm still straddling the fence but I know me and I'll end up buying them.

brucelidat 03-22-2015 12:47 PM

A quick comp I did of my car with the 2015 Nismo bodykit

This is my bumper currently I'm not sure about the red insert but I'll leave them in to see if I like the look.

cooltoy 03-23-2015 11:32 PM

For anybody interested there is a front and a rear bumper for sale painted black.

I'm disappointed by the vertical vents below the DRLs. They don't look to be functional, as there is a black plastic piece there. I hate cars with scoops and vents that are just for show. What is this, a BRZ?

Asheth 03-24-2015 10:42 AM

They could be functional if you don't put in the inserts. It's open and air can flow through just don't put in the inserts.

DIGItonium 03-24-2015 12:34 PM

Did anyone manage to get the inserts CF wrapped with resin?

Asheth 03-24-2015 02:07 PM

I saw pics I think in this thread of one person with them wrapped

brucelidat 03-24-2015 07:37 PM

What about having a shop get id for the hole for the lights. That would probably be a lot cheaper than buying the DRLs. Here's a quick photoshop of what I am talking about.

Asheth 03-24-2015 08:02 PM

That's not to bad actually

brucelidat 03-24-2015 08:50 PM

could probably save almost 1k going this route instead of the DRLs

Great idea.

DIGItonium 03-24-2015 11:31 PM

That's what I'd like to have done as well. It'll require some raw material and bondo. The drawback is risk of cracking from flexing and temperature changes.

brucelidat 03-26-2015 02:43 PM

So to those who installed this kit, is it as simple as remove old bumper, attach new one or are there some extra bits that go underneath that need to be replaced as well? How easy is it to install yourself?

RicerX 03-26-2015 03:35 PM

have we already established that the 13+ base DRLs do not fit that opening, so no matter what, you have to buy new DRLs if you want them?

cooltoy 03-26-2015 04:06 PM

Or leave the holes open (as most have done) or shave/fill them in as per brucelidat. or fab your own DRL's.
