Question Anybody purchased the alternate Clear Bumper Lenses? (not from Nissan)

Hi there,

Just wondering about your thoughts on the quality and fitment of those 'other' clear lenses that exist on the market today. How do they compare to the OEM fit?

NOT the ones from Courtesy/Performance/Stillen!

Appreciate your thoughts!

Click below for an example:

Yes, those are the ones I'm talking about! Are they any good? Or do you think they crack really easy? How about the fitment?

I don't know if I should just fork out the extra $30 for the Nissan/Stillen ones!

I got mine off of ebay. Fits perfectly and Im satisfied with them. For stuff like this, quality doesnt really apply since theyre just pieces of plastic.

Cool, I was more concerned about the fitment, and since you said they fit well, then I'll buy them.

Some plastic is much weaker than others, and more prone to cracking (from stones, etc). So, that was a concern of mine as well. I take it you dont' have any stone chips yet?

Oh really??? I've been told by various dealerships, that they are not OEM. Thanks for the info!

Hey Jason,

Can you hook me up with a better deal?

Greatly appreciated!

It fits perfectly, just 2 screws on each. As for durability, the lenses off of ebay are probebly just as good as the ones from courtesy but that doesn't mean rocks and stuff won't hurt them.

Not all NISSAN dealers can get the JDM NISSAN Parts...

The clear bumper lenses and smoked bumper lenses we sell are JDM NISSAN Factory lenses...
