So I am going to play a bit of a party pooper here, but I don't think a pre 2015 Z can take the new Nismo rear without the new wing as well. The new wing overlays the whole rear portion of the hatch, thus making the hatch thicker. The rear bumper has to stick out further then the previous years to compensate for the extra thickness. So if one were to put the bumper on without changing to the new wing, there will be an edge there. Does anyone agree?

Looking at the picture, I don't think there will be a problem. The hatch might be a little thicker due to the spoiler, but I doubt Nissan made another mold for the rear bumper over a few mm difference.

I just heard back from iJDMtoy that they are in the process of making a LED light for the 2015 Nismo Bumper. I believe they already have them for the 350Z where the orange reflector is.

I also know at least one other company that is definitely working on something cheaper than the factory DRL's.

Maybe the holes left for the drop can be used for brake cooling.

If your goal is to chop off all of that stuff, why not just buy a Stillen fascia? Those look quite close to your shopped pic.

I already have stillen bumper and it's just way too heavy and it actually warps when it's hot at the track! You can sort off see the warping in this pic but its worse now... and WAY too heavy, and doesn't even clip on by the headlights!
