2015 Nismo Bumper on 2009 Sport possible?

LostSol · 07-07-2015, 07:33 AM

Picked mine up yesterday and learned a few things:

1. The ebay tow hooks everyone uses (including me) are too short, and the hook part lays on a painted part of the bumper. No bueno.

2. My body shop said they couldnt fit the undertray and bottom of the fender wells to the bumper. Im gonna get under it and see if I can do it, if not I will order the 2015 parts.

Ignore the missing emblem, it was supposed to be delivered yesterday but didnt show up. Hopefully today!

Also, does ANYONE yet make anything for the DRL holes?

I will post more pics once i get the emblems taken care of and a few more things lined up right. Needless to say, its doesnt line up AS nice as the Sunline style lip did, the Nismo bumper/lip is a bit higher. Ill let you judge for yourself when i get the shots up.

Thanks! Unfortunately not an option, there is a spot in the bumper for the emblem to go, but don't worry, i didn't go with the standard chrome emblem.

I've been searching for any other emblem besides the standard. What are the options out there?

It's happening Boys, just picked up all the parts from the Dealer. Time for paint. Wish me luck!

Did you double check the bumper for damage before taking it? The first one they tried to give me was damaged!

HngNgn19 · 08-07-2015, 03:51 PM

Yea, I checked to make sure it was the right front bumper and for any damages. Btw you can get the front bumper for around 380 on CZP plus shipping.... But if you do buy it there, make sure to ship it to the Shop you're painting it because that will save for on shipping to a business vs shipping to residential area. Residential is more expensive for some reason
