Default Urethane Nismo V2.... anyone make one?

Anyone know of a urethane Nismo V2 front bumper replica out there? I know there are several FRP ones out there but the durability kinda scares me.

Any ideas?

No urethane V2's.

If there were, I would have bought it.

I have a Shine Auto V2, and the durability is fine, along with the material being flexible. I'm not sure if you totally want to stay away from it or not, but I support it.

Mine is FRP... but it's already cracked. There was a suburban in front of me and it ran over a huge branch that flew straight at my bumper the second week i had it.

I believe I paid $475 last August. They've been saying they dropped prices, though, so I'd give them a call.

You know they would make a killing if they made the amuse kit and nismo v2 in urethane imo.

Quick question to anyone with the v2 front bumper.

Does the front under diffuser (plastic piece that keeps you from getting to the oil plug)
fit the v2..?

If not can it be made to fit ?

It fits like stock.


Yeah, i'd hop on it if the Amuse or V2 bumpers came in urethane.

you don't want urethane.... you want PP (polypropylene)

urethane is thick, ****, rubbery garbage.

PP >FRP > Cardboard > urethane

If someone made the nismo V2 bumper in OEM-quality material (urethane or whatever), it would sell like hotcakes and they could probably charge an arm and a leg for it to make back their R&D and manufacturing costs pretty quickly.
