Default nismo V2 front q's

sorry if you expected something else but i got a couple questions

just picked up a nismo V2 front off a user, for one, is it easy to smooth over the nissan emblem area at home? what would i need? is it something that any decent person can do? and if so where can i buy the things i need to do it? like the fiberglass and what not....and also does the intake duct that it comes with work with injen CAI and if not , is there a way to make it work? and then lastly, is there anything that i can spray on the back of the bumper to possibly help hold it together in case the bumper is cracked or anything? like spray on glue or something? just curious... thanks guys appreciate it

The body shop your gonna have paint and put it on will be able to fill it for you. If you don't know what your doing ull probly just mess it up, no offense. If the bumper is fiberglass nothing will help it not crack on impact. If its polyu then it has quite a bit of give and flex before it would become dmged.

Body work is a territory where you get what you pay for. It's not just slapping a caliper on a rotor and bolting it up. Theres a reason the good guys get paid a lot, they probly will charge you a bit extra because it is more work for them.

U can try filling it in yourself with some bondo. Youll have to research techniques and process to get it right.

+1 but yea, its fairly simple so it isn't anything too expensive.. I believe my body guy did it for free, but then again i know him really well. But please if you dont know what your doing, dont attempt filling it in yourself.
