Default Finally... NISMO V2 Installed!!!

I finally got my NISMO V2 bumper and USDM sides installed. I sold my Shine V2 replica before installing it to help pay for my engine rebuild. I recently saw that Performance Nissan had an authentic V2 which I wanted in the first place. So I bought it and finally got it installed. Here is a quick pic. The body shop was supposed to paint the center support black, but they dropped the ball. They will do it next week. So don't tell me it needs to be done becasue I already know that.

It's iridium tint... is that what your talking about? It's not charcoal.

Thanks... it's good to finally be in the club!

I dont know if its the angle you took that pic, or what but this is one of the hottest looking Z's I have EVER seen, and I thought I didnt like the USDM sides, but after seeing this pic I regret going JDM.. how is the fit compared to the shine front? is it a big difference?

Actually the Shine was a perfect fit. Fitment wise there was no discernable difference. The nice thing about the NISMO is that it has plastic coated metal tabs laid into the fiberglass around the grill opening to be used to mount the mesh screening. You just put the mesh on and bend the tabs down around the mesh to hold it in place.

I like the larger dimensions of the USDM sides over the JDM sides. Plus they are urethane instead of FG.

Thanks for the compliments.

The rear is stock. No NISMO rears. I think it looks fine without the rears. I do have a the OE track spoiler on the back.

Looking good! Now we just need to get you some canards. I can always get the Shine one for you, much cheaper!
