I find it almost ridiculous to pay anything near $1000 for a fiberglass bumper.

You paid over $1000 for something you couldve gotten for 1/4 of that price. I'm not knocking on anyone who has an authentic one, but if you can find one that's almost exactly like the real one... well I see no shame. I call it smart shopping.
whatever floats your boat.

you can go buy your girlfriend/mother some fake LV handbags while you're at it. it's almost the same. they'll be happy you did smart shopping!

Well that is just sad that you have to go out there and buy your pretend girlfriend authentic LV bags just to make them happy LOL. In the end, you're just another broke dude who didnt spend money wisely.

P.S. Anyone ever tell you that it's the thought that counts? There's your life lesson for today playboy!

Too bad for you, the price you pay on authentic materialistics is just going bite your a** in the end ... "baller"
saved like a wise man with no nismo badge on the bumper

seriously though who cares if you got the authentic or not. some people are just pressed they get all the "authentic" s***. Reminds me of the honda guys with their mugen parts.

lol, you know what, you're absolutely right.

It IS the thought that counts, and by buying fake crap, you're telling the person that you're fake and a poser. If I can't buy LV, I buy something else in my price range that isn't fake.

It's sad to think you automatically jump to stupid conclusions like I everything I own is LV. I guess it's just a natural defense of posers like you.

You are the reason you nismo don't sell nismo badges seperately, or why volks don't sell stickers.

btw, i found the perfect rims for you almost exactly the same!

Is that what you're looking for? I remember on Shine's thread that people were saying they got them off ebay. That one sorta looks like everybody elses? Good luck man.

On another note, who cares if somebody has authentic or replica parts? As long as the owner is happy, it's all good. We drive the same car, no need to laugh and be condescending just because you have all authentic parts. Instead, maybe be more constructive about it. On the other hand, I can't say buying the real deal Nismo v2 bumper is worth the money. Sure the fitment might be spot on...but come one, let's not kid ourselves. Fiberglass is much more fragile, and seeing that Shine has come out with a great product as an alternative, why not? Not only does the Shine bumper fit great, but it's almost half the price as well. Not to endorse replica parts or anything, but the whole "I have authentic parts, so i'm better then you" attitude is getting old. Group hug

Actually, I would rate the fitment as "pretty good" rather than "spot on". Mine sticks up a little bit higher than the front edge of the hood.

yeah but how is the fitment on the cheapies? I bought the fasia and the canards for $1000! The fitment was so perfect! I have the air duct and metal bracket left if anyone is interested! I didnt use either because I am f/i and WV doesnt use front plates! Let me know!
