OP, can't tell from the pic what year your car is, but if it's an '06+ and the supports for the grill bars are still there behind the metal grill, I've got a set of grill bars from an '08 I can sell you.

Guys I lucked the *** out. Turns out everything is still there. I couldn't really see behind the mesh and thought it was screwed in. Got in close, started to tear at it cause it was pissing me off lol. Turns out it was held on by zip ties .

My guess is the previous owner made this for a bug blocker for hwy trips. Its def hand made and fits perfect to be honest I may keep it for road trips

**** that makes the deal I got even better.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I got allot of good ideas actually and a good carbon fiber accent connect through JCITY.

Except everything isn't still there. Those are the support bars, but the grill bars themselves are still missing.

NissanZguy

Ok thanks, I have a 05 so your 06 + parts wont work correct if wrong. Using the search function and it seems Im missing 3 pieces which can be bought on various sites. Theres a long piece for the bottom and then 2 shorter pieces for the upper portion on the right and left correct? Thanks..still learning. If anyone has those parts for sale plz let me know.

The '06 parts won't fit an earlier bumper, but those grille supports almost look like they're on a later bumper (not a great pic, though). Do you have a pic of one of the side reflectors, to confirm which bumper it is? Here's a page with the parts diagram, but I don't see separate grille bars for the early bumpers:

Hey Abarclay where did you get that varis lip? How much was it?

NissanZguy

You know somthing dude I think it is a newer year bumper. It def looks like 3 pieces fit on it. Maybe what you have will be what I need...The side markers were also meshed out (nother thing on list). Pm price and location. Maybe we can work out something. Thanks. *edit* Ive confirmed that I have a 06+ bumper via google and this site. You got what I need so lets do business this weekend if your available. Thanks again.

I would try painting it flat black first. The only reason I don't suggest removing it altogether is that you leave your heat exchangers exposed to road debris, and the last thing you want is a rock or something else kicking up at speed and going right through your A/C condenser and radiator.

Bulletproof is the exclusive importer for Varis. I'd hit them up.

I got mine through rhdjapan.com, great customer service throughout the whole process. I recently got a Tommy Kaira shift **** from them too in less than 2 weeks.

Sorry to thread-jack OP, glad you've been able to somewhat fix your issue though!

NissanZguy

NP, thanks. Turns out I have a 06+ bumper so right now I need the 3 blade inserts and then It'll look proper. Hopefully Dcains will have what I need

Why the previous owner would do that to the 06+ bumper i'll never understand lol. Glad you took it out.

NissanZguy

Logic would say...temporary bug blocker or possibly to cover up the fact that it's missing the blade inserts. On track to getting it proper now though.

Maybe the previous owner had an intercooler behind it

I'll dig out the parts later this afternoon when I'm home. I have the large lower bar, both the smaller left and right upper bars, and I probably have the original screws, too. But, I don't have that small middle piece which hides the hole for the tow hook. You can pick that up at a Nissan dealer for ~$15. I had to buy one last December when someone stole mine.

The pieces I've got have a few big scratches, though, so you'll have to get a can of Duplicolor and respray them, but I'll sell them cheap. Figure about 1/3 of dealer price. My '08 is Carbon Silver, and I bought these parts to paint black, but I think I prefer the original dark gray, so I never got around to it. All black might look great on your car, though.

BTW, Courtesy Nissan sells the clear side reflectors, which give a nice look. I've got LEDs in mine, which are not to everyone's taste, but I like them:

NissanZguy

Don't think so, since the grille bar blade supports are still there.

NissanZguy

Send some pics via pm if ya don't mind bro. Just want to see how bad the scratches are. New blades aren't that expensive it seems.

Thanks for the help
