Need some feedback.....Has anyone had any experience with Buddy Club 2 350Z aero parts? Specifically quality, grade of materials, fitment? Looking to purchase front bumper/nose (non-wide body) and add it to my Nismo sides, rear under and rear spoiler. It would be a different look and break away from the traditionalist "all Nismo" look. The Nismo Version 1 is looking old and the Version 2 doesn't do anything for me and the true Nismo GT front bumper, which I love the looks of, doesn't appear to be available in the aftermarket or from Nissan.

Anyway, any feedback/comments on Buddy Club 2 would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Sean is great to deal with, and fit and finish on the front bumper was excellent. I had to work the gaps around the headlights a little before taking it to the painter, but it was no big deal (and I'm no body man).

The bumper is lower and a few inches longer than stock, so I made an undertray extension from sheet vinyl and connected the bumper lip and stock splash shield. Not hard at all.

The bumper looks great and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. - I highly recommend the Buddy Club 2 guys and products.

 

wow, that looks great

 

hmmm, i kinda like it

 

not a fan

 

I think it would look better on a coupe.

 

It looked great until somebody stuck a lic. plate on.

 

Yeah, that was a real problem call. Unfortunately, the alternative was to put it on the upper nose edge like the stock Z mounting, or inset it into the grille area. Either of those would have been a real abortion.

No good options - had to go with what I thought was the least bad one.

 

Needs a rear spoiler to complement the front imo. How's the clearance been up front? Looks like a bit longer nose than stock, any scrapping issues?

 

why do you have purple grille inserts?

 

coolblue830,
Good eye - the front is about 6" longer and a couple inches lower with this bumper - ground clearance is now exactly 5". Going down the driveway is a slow motion maneuver, and I definitely have to pull up short of parking lot curbs. That was another reason why I decided to mount the license plate on the lower lip and "lead" with it instead of the bare bumper. I also had to fabricate an extension of the front undertray from sheet exterior vinyl to fill the gap underneath.

driftk1d,

All three grilles are stainless steel mesh. A combination of a late day low sun angle and low-res camera made the purple refraction in the pics.

 

Anyone else have this front bumper? care to share..... Ill post pics installed in a few wks w/ no license plate.......

 

It looks like a "big kit" like Veilside. Not sure if I like it or not.

 

wtf... another bodykit on stock wheels?? jk...

 

+1.. That should be illegal.. Wheels first.. then bodykit....

 

Here you go.....Searched threads and took the advice of another member before I purchased the front bumper. As stated in the thread above, he stated fitment and quality was good. I'm not going to question him, but the fitment and quality was a piece of $hit. I almost took a 3 pound hammer to this SOB, but after spending $450 and decided to take the time and money and install it. 30 hours of labor, and lots of fiberglass and filler, I got it to look fairly descent.

For everyone's information, I would not recommend Buddy Club 2 products. Spend a few more bucks and buy something of known quality, i.e., Nismo.

 

Fuck my couch!! I already ordered!!!!! I have to say it looks sick!! I will have the same exact look.. Except im DB.. I have nismo USDM spoiler too..

Fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Myyyyyy Coooooooooooooooooooooooouch!!!!!

 

Nevamind.. I called and cancelled the order.. TGF Fleet Z giving me the heads up..

 

Smart move.....If I had a body shop install this bastard, it would have cost me $2000+

 

Gaaaaaaaaaadamn!! Did you do the work alone?? **** you have patience to work on it 30 hours.. The hammer would have fell in my case..
