Angry Nismo V2 Damged New One Question

So I took my car to les swab today for alignment and as they were parking my car the guy driving hit the curb. I saw him get out and kneel down and look at my bumper then walked off and said nothing. So i saw the both sides were cracked and splintered.. went told the manager now they have to replace the bumper... So I need to get another nismo V2 not fiberglass though any one know where i can get poly urthane or CF version.. Also I they could shoot me contact info so my body shop can obtain it..

Carbonfiber will be just as rigid as fiberglass... and more expensive not only for the initial purchase, but for repairs, etc.

The Nismo V2 does not come in polyurethane, and the best options would to be either go for the authentic Nismo V2 or give Shine Auto a call and get one of their flexible hybrid Nismo V2's.

I think you'd be best off with the Shine Auto piece. Spork is right with the CF, Shine makes one with a CF lip, but honestly like he said it will break just as easy, if not easier, and it will be more expensive both with the initial purchase and any future repairs. No urethane version is currently made.

+1 on all the statements above.

Although, I must say this...the shine auto v2 will most likely hold up better then the actual authentic nismo v2 bumper (it being fiberglass).

You could also try getting your hands on a oem 06+ bumper and get a veilside lip...that setup looks clean and classy.

Or, you could get th lip that I have, the JP Type-S lip. It's made of super polyurethane, so it'll never...and I mean never...crack or break. I've made helixes with it and even folded it almost in half before I painted it. Here's a picture to help you

The car on the right is mine, compared to the nismo v2 on the left

in my very personal opinion, this is one of the best Z I've ever seen. Super clean.

I will do the same, only changes will be Time Attacks TE37, Nismo V2 Bumper with Canards.

If I just only could see this same picture photo-shopped with the Nismo V2 Bumper and TE 37 Time Attacks. hmm

Looks beautiful.
