Default Seibon VT Hood & Buddy Club 2 Nose

I broke from the ranks and decided to do something different. I know all the Nismo purists aren't going to like me or the car, but the V1 or V2 front bumper does nothing for me.

Big question for me right now is whether or not to lose the Nismo graphics. Funny that I have been adding stuff to the car based on the theme of the graphics and now I'm thinking of eliminating them.

Give me your thoughts....Don't be too harsh....I'm a sensitive guy!!!

Keep the nismo graphics, matches hood and rims very well...

Not a fan of the bumper though.

The bottom of the bumper is only 4.5" off the ground. Scraping is an issue....It's already been back to the body shop once for a touch-up job. It's my weekend ride, so it isn't that big of a deal.

The VT hood fits very well and I'm very pleased with the quality of Seibon. On the other hand, the Buddy Club 2 bumper was another story. I was ready to take an axe to the thing when I first attempted to install it. The fit was a POS (pardon my English) and I probably had close to 30 hours of time into making it fit with adding fiberglass and filler. I wouldn't recommend Buddy Club 2 products. They are cheap and very poor quality. FYI....You know you're in trouble when you open the box the bumper was shipped in and the bumper is floating around in the box without a piece of padding or even a wrapper!!!

The guys at the body shop that painted it were very impressed with the final fit and I'm pleased with the overall project.
