That nismo V2 is HOT
but in the research i have done, i found it to be the "Golden" fiberglass bumper at almost $2000.. i was going to purchase that bumper to go with my nismo kit.. but found it rediculous for the following reasons
1. I dont go well with fiberglass, my experience is you can barely drive with it and if you do you must be careful as hell!
2. Right now there isnt too many dealers or vendors that supply this kit, therefore price will be sky high!
3. In a few years price will go down because frauds will make molds that will sell as good or better therefore reducing NISMO's outrageous price on the V2
It looks SICK though!!

My thinking was that if the grille comes out to much in red i can always paint that part over with black afterwards, though the idea is that the black mesh behind would create the proper balance (i bought a new mesh that covers all of the grille and not separate for the center and sides like it comes from Nismo for some reason).

]. Why would you go with JDM sides and rears vs USDM parts? Then only the front bumper is FRP with the rest urethane. Any thoughts? Btw - Roggan is doing his with all JDM parts too. The Swede's Redline is gonna look fire hot!

Sorry to be off topic, but does anybody know the rear wheel's offset on the red car?
Thanks!

as for JDM vs. USDM, besides being different material, they look different. look closely and you will notice that the JDM sides are less flared out than the USDM sideskirts. i like the JDM version for my Z, lines seem to match better with the bumper lip.
here are pics: 1. JDM 2. USDM

I see your point about the sides. The JDM part has softer lines. Thanks for the info. I'm eagerly awaiting you and Roggan to finish up and show us them beautiful Z bodies. Get her done!

Unless you are going to put on a lot of other black pieces, I think that the offset colors (silver/black) might look odd. I voted for all one color- looks very cool just like that.

Officially yes, but there are some vendors on here that you can get it from.
nismo is supposed to release a USDM lip in the near future. but you wont see this V2 bumper ever as a USDM product

Just got my kit back from the paintshop, very pleased with the one color decision.
