After selling the DRLs from my 2013 bumper, I started looking into DIY ducting solutions.

Home Depot has these register boxes that should fit the 2015 DRL holes pretty well, which are 12"x2". I was going to do CAI ducts, hence the 90°. I think it will fit the left side, but the right side, with the washer reservoir, I am not so sure. Spray them in black and add some steel mesh and it would look good. Obviously, some type of flexible pipe will be needed as well.

Nope. Z1 was not sure what else would be needed to make it fit, so I just ordered the fascia and red trim, hoping that the rest of the OEM stuff would line up. The MSRP on OEM fender liners is around $80 and they can be found for $40 from other manufacturers. Hopefully the new ones will be similarly priced. I check the Nissan's parts site frequently and the new Nismo stuff has not posted yet. Gotta be a dealer I suppose.

EDIT: Canard type inserts is a great idea!

I could but the factory ones would probably be better for the price, that's the only reason I suggested carbon, but making a DRL insert like a vent or canard would work too.

front and rear bumper says it will arrive today, the front finisher red pieces came in earlier today.

OK, I sent a message to the guy if he wants to come to you or vice versa so he can take a look at the bumper and she what the work entails. I already sent him the close up shots.

Are there vertical inserts that also need to be purchased that go under the DRL's on the front bumper? Separate from the red inserts.

Thx was there a price quote for those parts yet. Already ordered the bumper and red inserts

Martin, did you get your bumper in yet?

bumper is at the shop, I texted ur buddy and my friend andrew is on it. I am just not sure how much of a time table I have for your guy, got some track competitions coming up on Oct 2nd.

I SOOoooooo hope you guys can get this done.

I guess the question is, if they can make something, do you need it by the second...isn't this the end of the season?
We will find out soon enough if something can be worked out.
