Sold the amuse wing. Trying out the duckbill. I'm still on the fence about it, not sure which one I like more.

i think you have the 09-14 Nismo rear? its so squared off, i dont think the duckbill works

Ill post pics of the rear. I don't have any at the moment.
I mainly like the 09-14 rear because the single exit exhausts look the best on it (the holes/indentations for the exhaust are much more subtle than any other bumper)

I dont think it looks bad though, I'm content with how it all came out.

Will it fit with the 2014? Wat if I ran my 14' DRL on the nismo bumper. Will it fit?

14' non-nismo DRLs will not fit on a 15' nismo.

Also, YES the 15' nismo will fit on your 14'.

Works for me!

This looks great!

You read this thread. Right?

What paint code is the Lexus gray metallic??

In paint now!

My front is being prepped now and will have the car wrapped after it is ready, but I do have a question for those of you who have already done the conversion. Have any of you used the Zspeed splash shield after converting your front end? If so how did you go about it? I know they offer a conversion kit but it requires messing with the core support. Wanted to see if anyone else has come up with a way to do it.

Just finished the conversion. Use the Zspeed shield for the non-Nismo. Talk to Joe and he has a kit to use spacers for the shield. It works well and is cheap.

How much work had to be done to the core support for the spacers? That was the only part I was iffy about.

It took less than 5 min. Drill the hole out slightly. Insert fitting with tool that has threads. The screw holds into the aluminum bar now with spacers. Very easy.

Here are some pics. (not of the tray)Attachment 116601

Awesome, thanks for the help!

I like the hex mesh that you use. Is that from customcargrills.com ?

Yes. Ordered through Amazon

Excellent stuff. Used zip ties to hold and Goop to glue the mesh to the inside.

Note that there is a 10 row, 20" wide second oil cooler (first is a 34 row from Z1) behind the lower opening.

Just out of curiosity, why'd you leave the stock plastic grill in place?

No reason to take it out and it provides structure to mount to. The whole fascia went from parts to paint without me touching it and I got $200 off retail.

I used the z speed undertray prior to them making a conversion kit. I have a 2012 Nismo. All I did was drill corresponding holes in the undertray to match the bumper, then install like oem. No issues thus far.

I almost did that, but the spacer works without shifting anything. It obviously works to just drill new holes for the push pins.

Just gotta fix a few things

are you on air ride? or is that your Z static for height???

love the colour and everything, but hope you drive a little higher then that. I hate cars that drive with the fenders rubbing the rims (hellaflush IIRC)

IMO - that's too low :ugh2: parked sure, driving not for me. I am on coils and low but try to make it still drivable/functional...... sports car functional.

THAT is perfect. Good job dude. What tires are you running? I'm looking for something meatier for my stock nismos.

That is OEM Nismo tire sizes believe it or not :eek: :stirthepot: lol


Just running 20mm spacer all around with the help of Stance ss+ coils and SPL everything! ~ camber, toe and traction arms in rear and then front upper camber arms

:tiphat: :driving:

So what was the final part list that is needed to make the 2015 bumper work on the 9-12.

I see lots of peoples prices ranging from 650-2250

Thank you everyone.

I spent under $1200 including paint at the dealer (fascia, inserts, corners and ZSpeed spacer kit, paint). Another $500 for second Setrab oil cooler/line, spun aluminum brake duck inlets, reducers, mesh. I already had the ZSpeed undertray. I did all work but paint. One whole day sealing all holes in the front with closed cell foam to force all air through the coolers.

Don't be cheap on paint, that's the key.

Many of us took the time to search and go through each page in this thread. Since I am in the mood to help.......Post 734 (PG 49) has a complete list for the front. The skirts will run $900 ---- yes pricey. People have no clue how much injection molded plastic there is in that thing. The rear bumper will be about $350 plus the tow hook cover that's about $5. Shipping will run you high if you don't have a local dealership. I say ask your local dealer to match Fontana Nissan's or Bakerfield Nissan's price. Bakerfield was cheaper than Fontana. Not by much but they had the best price. Good luck on this mod. Oem body kits are always better than aftermarket because they will not crack. Especially the front bumpers.

Bought my skirts from John Lee Nissan in Florida. 417 and change each side.

450 to 417 isn't bad. That's a nice drop.

That's the cheapest price I could find by about $100. Some sites had them for $500+.
Shipping was only 60ish also.

hey guys so I'm trying to decide between this nismo or the prior one. since everything is listed already for the 2015 version, is there any information for the prior one? thanks!!

Please do try the search.

Mine was shipped price so it worked out to be the same. Was shipped direct to a local shop here in SoCal. These prices are the best prices around. Bakersfield Nissan is also cheaper by about $25

Not on this thread. Your best bet is to call a dealership. Why not upgrade to the most current styling? In addition to this, the price of the pre '15 bumper is higher.

I may be helping with having an affordable front license plate re-locator made for this conversion

I'm on the fence between the two mainly because of the rear. I do like the 15+ front, but I prefer the pre-15 rear. I guess its a doable thing, but idk how it would flow.

what all is needed to do a front end swap to a nismo? I have a 14
