NISMO V2 and NISMO JDM SIDES!

just got it delivered on friday! for being a replica, this thing is awesome. i test fitted it on the car this weekend (without bolting in anything), and i gotta say, it fits perfect. the bumper seems like when its installed and bolted, it will be just right. the side skirts seem like they may need a little work, but still fit good. i will let you know once its painted and installed.

there are no chips, swilrs or imperfections that i can see. the quality is so good, you cant tell its a replica!

the hybrid FRP material that SHINE usues is interesting. you can tell its fiberglass, but when you feel it and actually get hands on with it, you cant tell its not standard fiberglass. it flexes like a urethane bumper.

now, i'm just deciding if i should install the intake scoop with it, or just leave it off.

nice! how much did the v2 bumper cost u by the way?

 

Ken@Shine is da best

 

not sure if shine wants me to post prices, i guess you can contact them for quotes is your interested.

i thought it was a pretty good deal! PMed you

 

looks like quality.

 

Love it

 

Beautiful, shines products are top notch quality!

 

niiice

 

i'm so tempted to install these bad boys without paint since my car is SB!

 

don't do it!

 

trust me, i'm not going too. i'm just sayin, it just kills me having these sit in my room, waiting!

 

Does shine offer painting for those nismo kit?

 

I believe so, but you should get it painted with the rest of your car anyways. Colors like my PPW, are really hard to match, and most of the time it requires painting other parts of the car to blend in with the new paint. They might have to blend it in with a portion of the hood and fenders to get it matched up. I believe the silver are harder to match as well, but PPW is the toughest.

 

so are you going to get the entire car painted or just blended in? i have a PPW as well and am looking to get a body kit soon
and where are you getting it done if you dont mind me asking?

 

ooops sorry blazemaster, i thought you were the OP

 

Nice bumper! I was just wandering, how far off the ground does the bumper sit on stock suspension?

 

Can you leave the middle part unpainted, instead of painting it black? Since it's already a glossy looking black. I noticed your dumbells back there. How much weight you got on those?

 

yeah i'm still undecided what to do as far as the middle part. i kind of want to leave it as is. i guess it depends on what type of mesh i use and if i use the intake scoop that came with the bumper.

and dont laugh, the dumbell's only have 20lbs on each. just a little something to do in the mornings before work.

 

when i test fitted it, i didnt get an exact measurement. it is noticeably lower than the OEM bumper. maybe like 1.5" - 2" lower.

 

Tell me about it. Mine was with the full kit sitting in my house since February and it finally just got to the shop this week....
