Default Nismo V2 front bumper teaser pics

I was part of the first groupbuy that punkster started. After a couple of months, I finally got it on and couldn't wait for the damn sun to come out. So here are some pics for those that are still contemplating it.

I love how glossy it is compared to the white.




Fitment is great.


I need a black mesh grill.

From what I understand, all he had to do was dremel the holes a little to get just a few of the screws to align and fit properly. Other than that, it was very close.

The initial eyeballing of the raw bumper was good, but prepping it revealed several flaws. You can also see the flaws now that it's painted. But since the bumper gets all the road rash, I'm not too concerned about it. It will be the neverending battle that I won't win.

I like that mesh, but i think it would look even better if you got it an painted it flat black or gloss black to match the trim you already have.

Bumper looks good!

It looks great, get it painted! What are those wings on the sides? They look like something that flaps in the wind.

Uh... it IS painted. It's not just the lip... he got the whole bumper. It's the Nismo V2, those things on the sides are the canyards (optional).

If I went with this bumper, I'd have to fill the notches as well as the emblem dent. If you could tell us what you used to fill it, I'd be most appreciative
