2015 Nismo Bumper on 2009 Sport possible?

Prototyper5 · 09-12-2014, 01:43 PM

I can make the front wing pieces out of CF or any laminate for that matter. I will have to see how they are attached, convert the wing pieces into plugs and make molds. Basically I will make complete CF replacements, either with prepreg 1k plain weave or 2k twill CF, raw or clear gel coated,etc..Not wrapped or overlayed originals parts. I'm going to be ordering the '15 NISMO kit in a few weeks from Juan in the vendor section for my own car and also going to prototype new items with them using my Z. This sounds like something I can make relatively easy. If there is enough interest you guys won't have to worry, I'll just make them. Pricing would be up in the air until I can see the original in person and see how they mount exactly. Anyways,not trying to thread jack,cheers'

Cool deal, I can't wait to see the finished product. You can kind of see how the red pieces clip in with the Z1 pic above.

Yeah no worries, I see the receiving mounts but it still is always better to have the actual insert (which I bet you know already

but either way from the looks of that pic, I most likely will be doing a direct clone/copy of the originals and a "Race" version too. For me actions speak louder than words so lets just wait 'til I can get my hands on a set of red pieces/winglets

Any chance you might make some FRP ones as well?

And an open question to everyone: Has anyone figured out a solution for the DRL's other than buying the very expensive Nissan parts?

Could something be done using LED strips?

EDIT: Canard type inserts is a great idea!

I could but the factory ones would probably be better for the price, that's the only reason I suggested carbon, but making a DRL insert like a vent or canard would work too.
