That's where I get my grills from

You can actually request it to be powdercoated black for an additional fee. I highly recommend the Hexagon Grill Mesh XXL which I have & is very durable. Here is a pic of it on my Vertex bumper...





If I remember correctly, I bought about two sheets which is 12" x 48" each.

How big is the front opening? ... would one 12x48 sheet of mesh be enough for the NISMO V2 BUMPER? Thanks

Just another heads up for mesh. This mesh (#C) is just like the real TS or Kenstyle mesh.

Hey guys:

I just got my bumper last night and the corner of the bumper leading to the wheelwell is chipped off. the whole point is missing, is this a big deal or will the bodyshop repair that? other than that it looks good.

Since it's FRP, they should be able to fix it. It'll cost you extra though.

The may lay some FG on it and reform the edge, or just use Kitty hair. Depends on what shop you go to, how big of an area and what they prefer to do.

Ask punkster. I inspected mine in front of the driver to prevent this type of problem.

well that's what I meant, is this normal? no big deal?

I couldn't even see it until the packing was removed, it was under the padding on the corner so they had to see it it wasn't a "damaged in shipping" type of thing. if it's a normal thing I don't really care, but if this is considered unordinary damage i'd like to know.

If a piece is broke off, and it wasn't in the box, I personally would contact Tommy and talk to him about it.

The body shop can easily put it back together.

ok, that's what I figured, I haven't even gotten it to a shop yet to ask!

I mean, there isn't anythign to "put together" they'll just have to fab it up with fiberglass resin or something.

Thanks punkster!
