Hi got a question does anyone know if the nismo lip comes with the hardware ? like screws etc ?

Al Kapwned

The 06-08 nismo lip comes with all the mounting hardware and instructions. I can't imagine that the 03-05 lip wouldn't come without them either.

if it is an authentic kit bought from a vendor, chances are that is what should come with the kit. if bought elsewhere, is a replica, or from a private seller no guarantees can be made.

Mine is authentic, bought from West Covina Nissan and it came with everything you would need, including all mounting hardware, template for correct allignment to front bumper and detailed instructions. You pay more for authentic but that is the advantage you get in addition to it being urethane, not FRP.

My authentic 06-08 Nismo front lip came with all the hardware + instruction. Urethane is way better than frp. The installation was a breeze compare to my Shine Auto Nismo sides and rears (no instructions or any hardware).

I assume you are talking Canadian dollars. If it is US dollars,then I would say that is an unfair price discrimination.

It is not a bad deal then. I just checked from West Covina Nissan and they have it listed for $430 (US). I am thinking these authentic kits are soon going to be discontinued. They already discontinued the side skirts.
I have a very useful advise for you. If you can, take the front bumper off and install the lip. It would make your life a whole lot easier. Some guy suggested that and I ignored it. (Bad mistake). The lip has some spokes on the inside. You drill holes (With supplied templates) and the spokes go into it. You then use supplied nuts to pull it to nicely attach the lip to the bumper.
If you try to install it without taking the bumper off, it could be a nightmare wrapping the lip around rhe bumper. Infact I tried installing without taking the bumper off and broke one of the spokes. I then took the bumper off and realised how easy it was. There is a very nice DIY on bumper removal in the tech installs (interior exterior area). A lot of guys would tell you to just use a double sided tape because most replicas use that. But if you spend the extra money to buy authentic, it pays to install it authentic. Good luck

^I didn't remove the front bumper when installing the front lip. I used a right angle drill to drill two holes on the grill for the rivets. I didn't want to take the bumper out and have to put it back in.

Sure. Actually the instructions do not require bumper removal. I put up the suggestion just in case he is new to bodykitting just as I was. A lot of guys would suggest to take off the front tires before removing the bumper but I was able to remove it without taking the tires off.
