looks good, very good!
just curious, can't you get a NISMO front bumper painted/installed for just a little bit more money?
oh well, looks clean, good work!

$450 was for the front only. My front bumper was chipped up pretty good so I had to have it re-painted. The labor to fill the emblem hole was about $150 of the $450. I did not see the hole when they removed the front emblem so not sure on that. I do know the rear leaves 2 small holes when you remove it. As far as the nismo bumper question. The nismo bumper is about $850 and would cost the same to paint it. Im not a big enough fan of it to drop the extra $800 to do it right.

I also have a SB and I like it. I am thinking of tinting the badge somehow and putting it back on just so it doesn't stick out at you so much.

That looks GREEAAAAT!!!! I am glad you live in AZ, because your track is going to have a twin out here in Socal.

The Nose looks so good. Almost like a body kit!! Makes me think of how much I hate the stupid clunky thing marring my bumper.
Well Done!!

Default Emblem(s)

Lotus, Being that I also live in Arizona, can you pm me the name of the shop where you had the work done? I would rather deal w/someone who has already worked on a Z in this area of badge removal, etc. Regards, Jim

Thats the first thing I thought needed to be done when I got my Z. I think Nissan has gone a little over board with the badging-one on the bumber or trunk lid would have been fine.Im thinking of getting one of the Nismo badges on ebay to put on my trunk,has anyone else seen this?
