2015 Nismo Bumper on 2009 Sport possible?

shaun66 · 03-06-2015, 07:12 PM

Yeah I wanna see what it looks like without the DRL lights! Also if people are color matching everything etc.

I know its one piece fella, that's why I mentioned that there wouldn't be a gap perhaps. ;-)

So now I'm assuming if I were to replace just my 2014 spoiler with the 15 nismo version then perhaps I may have the opposite effect whereby the spoiler overhangs .. Who knows..

My first criteria which I don't think has been answered as of yet by vendor Julio is if the 15 uses existing holes or not. Personally, I can't be botheres either A drilling new holes or B filling existing ones. If its going to be an easy swap meaning hardest part removing existing spoiler with no damage then I'd give it a go.

Yes, there would be an overhang fella, as mentioned at the end of my post.

As far as the holes, no clue. But logic would say that they would be the same. No reason why they would drill separate hatches for Nismo model. But Nissan logic is not always logical.

So what we know so far is that the fitment to be prefect one would also need to fit both items. Rear bumper as well as spoiler?

That is correct.

I think the over hang might be easier to live with and less noticeable, then the bumper sticking out.

Unlike most , I'd be just interested in the rear spoiler and possibly the rear bumper. Personally, I'd have the rear bumper painted and also the lower part black minus the red stripe.

Okay so from my understanding from this thread, for the front bumper you should get the red inserts (paint them whatever color), fender liner add on is not necessary, under tray is not necessary (buy you only get 2 bolts to attach to the base under tray?)
Any other parts I'm missing? It would be great to get all the findings and update the first post on this thread with it.

Front Bumper
2 X Red inserts
2 X black inserts (they are little ones that go down in the bottom corners below DRL's)
2 X fender liner extensions

They also ordered a small insert that goes in the grill that no one else had mentioned still waiting on it though to see exactly what it is

Anyone ever resolve the elundertray issue? Is this not able to be ordered? I'm thinking of getting the z1 undershroud and drilling the appropriate holes where necessary. I'd assume some trimming of the forward edge would also be needed.

Looks good. I think it still works pretty good without the DRL. Did you paint the entire grill area black cherry as well?
