Default concerned about possible nismo v2 front bumper

i found an amazing deal on a nismo v2 front bumper but it feels like its too good of a deal....

they claim its a genuine OEM bumper but im still skeptical b/c its such a great price.

does anyone know if theirs a stamp or something thats on the actual bumper to know 100% for sure its the real deal??

helps much appreciated.

thanks a million.

ohh and im purchasing it off of, i know, i know, here it comes, ebay.. but i read the item description thoroughly and its claiming that is an OEM nismo bumper.

i also read the reviews from past customers and the large majority were positive. its a shop called "Import Styler."

Ya dude. Its a replica. Dont be a tarded. Better off going through M1 or Shine.

How much did they want for it btw?

You understand that the OEM v2 is still FRP, correct? Just like the M1 and Shine replicas that fit almost perfectly. Why even consider looking for the real deal?

My V2 is authentic. I have a photo at home proving such. Nismo inlays a
logo in the fiberglass. It also fits PERFECTLY.

I purchased it off of ebay for $300 about three years ago. I have NEVER
seen another authentic V2 for below $800.00 (w/o canards).

Whats the price? If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Also look at their return policy.

I say save your money and get the real deal...its worth it in the end for fitment. A lot of the time you can spend a lot of time and money just trying to get it to fit right.

There is a reason why the authentic is priced so high. It fits~

The vendor classified section. I recommend Shine or M1 Auto- the latter will paint it for you also. Fitment is perfect. Shine is great because of the flexibility of the material they use, but it will need a more expensive prep and paint treatment than the M1 piece.
