Default Gauging Interest: 370 Nismo Rear bumper conversion in urethane?

Hi All,

Gauging interest on making something like this:




Credit to Dima for the render.

I'm currently trying to figure something out about the lights, but before I go on a caffeine fueled search for answers, is this something you would like to see made?

Price point would likely be somewhere in the upper 500's to low 600's shipped within the Cont. US.

As somebody not interested in the bumper, I think you will have a hard time selling enough of these to make the R&D worth it in the end. I think that the style does not appeal to many people (myself included) and out of the people that are interested, many of them will be thrown away by the fact they have to rewire their turn signals.

And of the many that dont mind requiring their turn signals, several will likely live in a state that require amber turn signals, which wiring the signal to be in the tail light would void. Therefore giving you even less people that will actually buy the bumper.

I like the idea of new rear bumpers, just not sure that something like this would be the best way to do it. But thats just my thoughts.

And not sure how I just came up wit this factor, but in the chopped picture shown, there is a 370z exhaust. In order for the bumper to sit how low it does, everybody that buys this bumper would also need to reeled the rear portion of their exhaust to lower the exhaust tips to match this bumper.

Maybe I'm being negative, but I just see a lot of potential issues coming from the design

I've seen photoshops of a front bumper conversion, and it fits the car much better than the rear imho.

especially if it has very 350z shaped side/wheel arch areas, and a short overhang vs a longer nose, like the picture shows.

I'm actually personally handling 100% of the sales of the vis product, the kit is called NSM.. you can dm me or contact me via ig or fb under my avatar/name. I have a vast discount available
I'm not a vendor here, so I can't discus pricing on this site.
Here's a few customer cars, some pics showing front, sides, rear or combination
