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

Asheth · 03-23-2015, 09:57 PM

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.

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

Massive part out

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

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.

Great idea.

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

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?
