if you wanted to just cover it i'm sure any body shop could just fiberglass it shut, right?

Yes, of course. But I was looking for something like a black piece, or a mesh insert up front flush with the front of the opening. Not a mesh insert across the back of the bumper that still leaves the opening.

Covering it over might be the best option I suppose.

My suggestion if you want it flushed nicely is to make a mold of the left and right opening with about 1/8 of an inch trimmed off all around and then use the mold to shape your metal mesh with enough room to set it flushed in the front and attached with enough tabs to be siliconed from the back side.

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

///maestro 08-29-2016 01:39 PM

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'.
