Picked up a OEM Nismo nose "idk yr" for cheap and was looking to fix it up and put it on my 05 350z. Anyone know if it will match up or will I need to customize?

 

Should match just fine... how much did you pay for it? pix?

 

I got it 225$ cash but there is some slight damage that I need to get fixed. Here is a link to a nismo, it is the same front bumper off this.

Good price

 

Very good price, though if it wasn't included you will also need a diffuser extension and 06+ fender liners if you're anything close to a perfectionist.

 

And the diffuser is $400

 

Ouch, think I will custom make a diffuser out of sheet metal. I am not a perfectionist.
Got the slight dmg fixed and bumper is now painted full PPW for $275, total cost for v3 painted to match my car is $500. Not to bad if I make the diffuser. Total cost on my car with jdm clear side markers and custome diffuser is $600. LOL, I can not even get the new bumper "unpainted" shiped to me for that. will post pics once on the car.

 

wow great price

that bumper new goes for $1100

 

Negative. Justin at West covina nissan is selling that bumper for 4XX.XX

 

Exactly. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably already have gone this route. 400 dollar diffuser that doesn't too anything more than the preexisting stock diffuser (and in fact doesn't even replace it) is a little hard to swallow for a small piece of flat plastic. Who knows, I still want it.

True, thats where I was looking to buy as well. But I think he was just saying he's able to get the bumper and paint work done for the same price that they could do SHIPPED.

After you get done you may still feel like you need the front wheel well liners as our 03-05 factory liners are a couple inches shorter and there will be a gap between the liner and the bottom of the bumper opening that accepts the wheel liner. The previous owner of my car felt the need to hack up the wheel liner with a giant hole , presumably while installing or troubleshooting the HID kit he put in that I have since yanked out, so either way I need the liners.


Please post pics when it's complete!

 

Here is a pic of the dmged bumper I got for 225$ cash

 

Yea this is who I was looking at to, they cost just under 700$ after shipping and then you add 450$ for diffuser and your now at $1,150.

Then paint it two tone for around 300$ or solid for 200$ and get the side markers for 60$.

Total package is around $1,410 - $1,510 at his shop.

I am just going to make the front diffuserfor about $50 so my total cost will be $610. Thats 225$ dmg bumper, $275 fixed and painted full PPW, 60$ side JDM clear from Justins shop in CA shipped to FL and 50$ for a custom maid diffuser. Sweeet

 

wow thats cheaper than i thought

adam z1 has some crazy prices

Is the damage just to that middle piece?

 

Nope but great eye, the middle piece is broke straight through but is a clean cut. The dmg is on the far left "passenger side" vent/grill. looks like it hit a curb that pinched the lip and the vent/grill hit the frame or somthing that caused a 3 inch tear. I will post more pics of the dmg when I get home tonight. The body shop said it would only be a couple of days so I will get pics of the finished product and post up.

 

Yea I would recomend that you never buy the front from them, I have not seen the sides or rear for sale but here is one for $660.51 shipped.

That is unpainted and you need to make the front diffuser or it will cost you about $450.

Or make it yourself for $15 - $50

here is some pics of the dmg

 

and more, sry for some reason I can only do 3 at a time.

 

Ok this is the last I got.

 

These pics where taken after I did some sanding and I took a blade from a sawsall to get the cut straight. The plastic on the passangers side of the cut was lower then the drivers side. We think the cus was made by somthing on the frame cuss the driver side grill/vent had a small nip in the same spot. Might be for venting the brakes.
