What kit is this?
Well I been searching and searching forever and I can not figure out what kit this is. Was told Nismo V.1 Full kit, but when I went around looking to find it, I never found the front bumper that looks like that with the straight black down the middle. It's not V2 or V3. Honestly, I'm just frustrated with it, was wondering if I could get some help. What front bumper and kit is it and also will it fit on a 2008 350z.
Thanks.
Edit: I am talking about the Pikes Peak White Z in those pictures.

Aren't all front bumpers painted? It's a Nismo V1 that is just painted a certain way....

Yes, I'm sure they might be painted, but fact is I would like to be positive before I go burning money and getting it painted. I would perfer finding out and getting the front exactly like I want it, which is like those in the pictures I attached.
Thanks though.
Edit: Read your last post, thanks. Looks different to me still but I guess im blind.

as the car also has JDM Nismo sideskirts and a rear wing.

not really sure. everyone does the V2 bumper these days.
the V1 is fiberglass as well.
two thoughts:
mynismo.com for the authentic V1 JDM kit
or
Aerosync for a replica that is polyurethane (a little different). you can get that one from Z-1auto.com in NY.
gruppe-s sells the Nismo kit as well.

I see, but the kits in the pictures that I showed are the JDM authentic and painted to look like that correct?

there are pictures of the aerosync in this link.
but yeah, the pictures you posted I am pretty sure they are JDM. look at the lack of molded bodylines around the lower lip on the aerosync.

Hm.. yeah, to me its bigger and doesn't go smoothly like the pikes peak white I showed you with the black z in the backround. Also will this fit on 2008 z seeing how it says 2003-2006. Honestly, I want the exact one in those pictures which from what you have said is fiber glass(JDM). Guess I got to see if its worth it.

The only difference between the Nismo and Aerosync, is by the bottom. On the Nismo you can see a line, that makes it look like there is a lip added on to the bumper. The aerosync, does away it that line. The only difference between the 03-06 vs. the 08 front bumper is the bottom lip has an indentation. This would only affect you if you were doing a lip kit. Since you're replacing the whole bumper it should fit right up. As far as replica vs. authentic. I say go authentic, and fitment issues, if any, will be kept to a min.

The only difference from the picture is he painted the center black.
