Here's the rear as it comes from Nissan.
http://i.imgur.com/C42uHgc.jpg Point to note. It does NOT come with the towing cover. You'll need to order separately. Was going to post today anyway but I picked this up from the shop today. http://i.imgur.com/BS3hRxf.jpg |

It's on!
I'm really happy with it, transforms the car! In my opinion you do not require any thing that is not already on the car to install this - just the bumper and the tow cover. Had a set of mirror covers painted too. I know it wont be t everyone's taste and not all will agree but I've put the NISMO badges on, I imported them from america a while ago and while I've debated whether to put them on for a while, I decided to go with. I think it finishes the rear nicely and I don't have to worry about filling a hole in the front bumper. Excuse the crap pictures, I was in a rush to get everything done and get to work. http://imgur.com/BjxjY5W.jpg http://imgur.com/VRIrGyH.jpg http://imgur.com/Jd8BHtb.jpg Last job to do is add some black to the rear of the skirts where it should have been masked off. |
I was asked a few days back what is needed for the rear conversion. In my opinion - just the bumper and the tow cover. Everything else can be taken from your old bumper.
There is a small gap between the bottom of the bumper and the non Nismo arch liners but Its very small and personally I wont be adding the arch liners. |
I think you need a pre 2015 Nismo wing to make it perfect.
|
I've been thinking about the wing. Possibly a carbon duckbill of early Nismo. I dont want to imitate 2015 exactly, just body styling wise to me it is exactly what I want.
One of the main other reasons is fitment. I'd like to be able to return the car to stock if i chose to sell the parts off. So any spoiler has to use the OEM location points. |
Pre 2015 OEM NISMO uses sport spoiler holes.

I had been having browse of your build thread earlier.
You got any plans to fit any DRL into the bumper? |
Here's a few of mine with the older Nismo wing (not OEM but a seibon CF replica)

That looks sexual. I'd like a half carbon version of that
|
What do you mean by half carbon version?
|
The blade in carbon, the support painted white.
|
That's no problem, just leave the top CF, paint the rest.
I am not sure about the holes on the Seibon, I think they also use OEM, but maybe LMBmike can confirm. |
That does look great.
Have any of you swapped in a pre-2015 nismo rear bumper on a pre-2011 non-nismo ? |
