Any place sells this bumper for lower than $399 including shipping than this site?

I'll save you the search - no, no one does

that being said, save yourself the headache and do not order it with Greyhound shipping - they will butcher it. We used to ship Greyhound too because its so cheap. But, its not worth the hassle. Between all the damages, and the fact that you have to go pick the bumper up, its a giant pain in the ***.

We only ship it truck freight now - not a damaged one yet

 

I put in my zip code in that website and I got the following...

PRODUCT ID PRODUCT NAME / DESCRIPTION QUANTITY PRICE
ASY-Z33-NSTYLE Aerosync N-Style Polyurethane Front bumper 1 $399.00/ea

SUB $399.00
SHIPPING (UPS Ground. Contact us for rush orders.) $0.00
TAX (CA Resident 8.25% sales tax) $0.00
TOTAL $399.00

Looks like they use UPS Ground.. it should be fine right?

 

Hmm.. maybe it's just because I haven't seen the authentic Nismo V1 front bumper in person . The lip on the Aerosync looks a little thicker and doesn't stick out as much compared to the Nismo V1?

 

it is identical in every way with the exception of the front badge provision

 

got mine from gruppe-s and they are shipping UPS it came in a beat up box but the bumper didn't suffer any damages. I've got a question on those who installed their bumper, is the bumper more to the left? I've got more space on the right headlight than my left.

 

it also appears as they have decided to "blend" the lip in as opposed to the look of the nismo where it looks like a stuck on lip

also, does aerosync have a website? like a manufacturer website?

 

bisdakr, I notice the same issue with the bigger opening on the right headlight on my bumper also but it doesn't look to bad.

 

oh okay, glad to hear it not just me. I didnt install it 100% just put two screws on side to have it on the car. also I haven't drilled to holes for the top mount with the plastic plugs it's got an uneven space there as of now but I'm sure it will go away once everything is painted and properly installed. Did you have do any modifications to the bumper? any sanding or grinding down? a person I talked to said this was a slap on right from the box so I haven't done any grinding or anything.

 

When you guys installed the bumper, did you put any screws at the bottom of the bumper to hold that buttom plastic cover? I didn't do that and that plastic piece was starting to rub on the ground. Would 3M molding tape be strong enough to hold the 2 together?

 

yea same thing happened to me ...i used a dremel anf then put my stock screws in....you need to cause the wind will make it rubb the ground and i dont think 3m will hold..if anything just ziptie it..

 

Dude.. I had the EXACT same situation. I'm kinda pissed that the body shop didn't take care of it when they said they would. It's a small thing, but kind of embarrassing when you're driving and it starts making weird scrapping noise all the sudden. I think I'll drill hoes and do the zip tie idea as well.

 

Man I am so tired of waiting on a good 06 lip, I think I might have to go this option. Love the look of this.

 

I had the same problem. I get off the interstate and I'm slowly driving next to some suv. I'm thinking " that suv sounds like crap!". As I pulled around a corner some cop tells me that I'm dragging something on the bottom of my car
Since then I've used double sided 3m tape with no problems

 

So 3m tape works? Hmm... if so, I'll just skip the hassle of putting screws on. Thanks for the pointers!

 

I would definitely not advise to you use 3M tape - you'll have to redo it every single time you change your oil and you'll end up replacing it once a year just from the dirt, grit and moisture that will collect.

best bet is drilling holes and using zip ties...it's a quick and easy solution that can be done at any time. Or, if you want to get a bit more involved, use the clips with nuts built in and a simple screw (available at any hardware store or autobody supply store).

 

For the reflectors on this bumper do you use the 03-05 reflectors or the 06 reflectors

 

i drilled holes in the bottom of mine and used the stock clips and bolts, were you guys able to fit the foam bumper support behind the bumper? i was not able to on mine

 

^my foam bumper brace fit, the problem i am have is my spash gaurds....i apologize if yall talked about this already, but mines pop out and my tires have eating away at them....i have an 04 z but i was adivsed to get the 06 splash guards because those will not pop out. has anyone upgraded to 06 splash gaurds with this bumper?

 

you use the early reflectors (03-05)

if you cannot fit the foam, or your splash gaurds, your bumpers are not installed properly...I'd advise removing it, or loosening all the bolts, and from there start shifting things around till it fits. All of the components absolutely fit without incident.
