Unfortunately, the Aimgain and Nismo bumpers are similar, but have slightly different lines. I purchased Wiggins' Aimgain canards to mount on my Nismo bumper and they weren't even close to fitting. I'll be having a bodyshop take care of getting them on.

For the DIY'ers out there the picture go in order of my cuts
Cut:1 i cut just bellow where the bumper meets the body to keep the mount for the bumper. as well the top most line was first cut do to the unknown as to where the body met the inner fender well

Cut 2: i cut an inch or so down just so i can look behind the body to determine where the body met the well.

Cut 3: i determined the perfect line to follow to cut was the width of electrical tape that is where you will eventually need to cut the well at.

Cut 4: not finished in the picture but right above the blue tape is where i will be cutting the well to finish the cutting.

So after contacting both bulletproof and aimgain about the front fitment issuse i have made no progress. they say all i need to do is go to a shop and have them doing it for you. they are stating that when making them they come out longer then they are supposed to. SO if you get the aimgain flares be prepared for this perfect fitment in front. not happy with this 2500 dollar "high quality" product.
