Feedback - Buddy Club 2
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.

It looked great until somebody stuck a lic. plate on.
No good options - had to go with what I thought was the least bad one.

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.

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.
