Replica vs. Real Nismo V2 Bumper
Just one question..
other than the fact that the Nismo V2 bumper is obviously OEM and is guaranteed to fit are there any visual differences between a replica vs. the oem??
What I'm basically asking iis what am I paying $700+ for since they're both made of the same material.
my boyfriend drives a damn saab. -__- no help there.

I have the replica V2 kit, and I don't see any noticeable differences between that and an authentic one... I do have a couple issues with fitment, but they're minor. there's a gap between the fender and the bumper, around the headlights, because the screw holes are too small, and need to be bored out a bit, but other than that, it fits well and looks good.
Btw, my kit is made by Shine...

I have the replica, and it's a great fit. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not paying over $1k for a body part that is exposed to all the elements and gets trashed from daily driving.

From what i understand, a lot of the replicas also fit better than OEM Nissan. I like my $200 bumper anyday over the $1k version, also either will get destroyed anyhow. I figure i will probably go thru a bumper or two a year anyhow.

But what's the deal with the fender liners not working out? Do they kinda just pop out constantly?
And thanks for the replies guys! I'm really liking the Shine since everyone's speaking so highly of it. Should I buy from Shine Auto or do other websites carry it?
