I know it's probably been answered on this thread but too many pages. I also ordered my rear bumper but will we need anything else for the rear conversion?

Rear wheel liners will be best

Just ordered all of my front bumper conversion parts from courtesy parts..Quick question...

I do not want the red insert pieces (I want them black or maybe even color matched in monterey blue). Do I need to order those pieces and paint them black, or can I just not order them?

You need them and will have to paint them.

You will need the pieces you can paint them whatever color but without them there will be a blank space that will not look good at all. I suppose you could try to have a shop fill it in but that seems like more trouble than it's worth. If you check out carbon signals build thread for their 15 Nismo lip kit you can see what the bumper looks like without the inserts while they were making their lip kit.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered the inserts. Now just need to get some quotes on how much it's going to cost to get the front bumper painted

I got to find somewhere to buy the front bumper. Local dealership quoted me $530 which sucks a bit but having it shipped from anywhere costs like $200

Shoot us an e-mail with your address and lets see what shipping to you is. Maybe we can help on shipping cost. A business address is normally a much cheaper route.

I definitely will but I'll let you know now I'm not planning on buying it until spring

For those who did the front conversion and did not get the OEM DRL or the EVO-R DRL, what did you do with the empty space? Just left it blank?

cooltoy · 12-10-2015, 01:19 PM

Yes.

There was talk about someone making a blank insert, but I am not sure if that ever happened.

Hatsuongmai · 12-10-2015, 04:40 PM

Cool...I wish someone make a blank insert for this. It should be cheap to make.

I done the conversion and I believe that piece from the link is actually a vertical molding that goes right next to the DTRL and not cover the DTRL hole itself. I may be wrong but... I'm pretty sure of what it is.

I have not done the conversion yet but I think you're right.
