Hi, i'm really having a difficulty finding nismo v2 front bumper with flat surfaced like a first picture but all i can see from ebay or anyother websites was the second one with scratch marks next to emblem. Please tell me where to buy one on the very top. I'm struggling this for 2hours on the web....
don't buy a duraflex. the money you save will be spent prepping the bumper(I have purchased over 10x fiberglass bumpers for many cars, but I am able to do my own work)
think most of them are going to have it... just fill it before paint, problem solved
hit up APTech on here
^^^ Yup.
The original Nissan accessory/Nismo designed bumper came out a long time ago - when the only Zs existing were DE cars and all had the double creased hood - and the "dents" in the original N2 (and the thousand or so copies following) had the creases to flow with the hood lines.
If you have an '07-8 HR with the bump hood, most likely SOL. (You'll note that the V3 Nismo bumper and copies are "clean" up top.) As suggested, fill 'em and go on from there. Gotta prep the bumper for paint anyways.

I might have to give up having n2 but try n3 for less troubling... haha thank you!

Yup, i will buy fiberglass but does duraflex need prep before paint too?

EVERY bumper - aftermarket or Nissan OEM - requires paint prep. One can buy a variety of pieces, e.g., rear spoiler, sides, pre-painted but have never seen a bumper cover, F or R. offered as such.
Besides, better to have it done locally for better paint match. Pre-painted are factory color but no accounting for aging of original paint.
For a bumper, recommend polyurethane. Nudge a curb/parking stopper with one, it springs back to life, generally. Fiberglass, ehhh, not s'much. Ask me how I know this.
My parts are fiberglass and need to be block sanded, bondo skimmed & a primer adhesion promoter used during the prep process. I always recommend to find a body shop with fiberglass experience, if they can't provide a gallery or album of previous body kit work...then keep looking. I found in my experience that all body shops will tell you they can do the work and will quote you low. then when they realize there is more work involved and they don't know how to do it right, the cost of the install sky rockets. This leads to customers being upset because they are quoted low and invoiced high. Do your shop research and let us know when you're ready.
