I'm planning to buy the USDM NISMO V3 bumper for my car. But from what i see, the JDM NISMO V3 bumper doesnt have the orange side reflectors which gives it a cleaner look.

Do you think it will be hard fill in the sides from the US V3 bumper?

 

Absolutly, One thing I found out on my V3 bumper was to use only plastic compounds. The bumper flexs and will crack if the filler does not flex. Also the plastic compound does not stack well. You would either have to do a 1/2 inch then smooth mold it to the body. Wait a day then another. THis will take you a week or more and is not very strong. You will also have to groove the plastic so it is flush with the body. Personally I would cut a solid piece of rubber the exact size of the reflector. Slide it into place and screw it on throught the stock holes. Then groove and use the plastic compound. Both are kinda risky though, a blunt smack to the side could shift the hard rubber into cracking the plastic compound.

Here is a pic of my V3 with the compound

To give you an idea of consistancey. The shop put 3 applications of the plasic compound on the center grill to keep it together and that was a perfect cut that you can see on the first page. It is not much on filler but is the only thing to use on this bumper. "per my body shop guy"

 

why not order the JDM version
