Default Nismo V3 Front and side, what about the rear?

will install the nismo V3 front and side..

but i am not a big fan of the nismo V3 rear...so i am thinking of getting something else for my rear bumper...

nismo v2 rear add ons and a rear diffuser would look good.

I really like the charge speed rear, but it may not flow ..

the ings +1 n-spec rear would probably work well. google it : ]

I have been wanting to do the nismo v3 front with ING+1 sides and rear. I would say the ING+1 rear would match up great.

^ +1...

INGS+1 N-Spec ftw.

Also happens to be the best rear and sides to go with for the V2 front as well.

Also look into the Do-Luck, it should go nicely as well. Similar to the INGS, with a bit more agressiveness.

Chargespeed is killer, no doubt, but no flow with the c/f "step" sides of the V3.

did not think I would be in the same boat just a day or so after responding to this thread. I bought a v3 front bumper from a local and need to figure out my combo as well.. I want to do the V2 sides since v3 would be terribly expensive and hard to find, trying to think of what rear (would the v2 add ons+a diffuser work well?)

Again, IMO i would do either:

INGS+1 N-Spec sides and rear (or)

Amuse sides and INGS+1 N-Spec rear (or)

Either above mentioned sides with Do-Luck rear.

(I hate V2 sides, they dont go with the V2 OR V3 front AT ALL, imho, and rear add-ons look cheap)

thanks for sharing your two cents. I am leaning towards the ings n spec rear, and ings n spec sides.

I am relatively concerned about how my exhaust will look with the n spec rear though, it displays a bit more, and the bassani setup is designed to look stock.. on a stock bumper! it may look funky showing the 2nd muffler behind it at a different height. we shall see.

It will cover it up quite well.

Some just opt to cut out the middle part, but you dont have to. Not cutting it out will hide the 2nd muffler on the Bassani just fine.



^ Bottom of INGS N-Spec bumper w/ Amuse exhaust ( i think)

I think it will look very clean, esp on black. In fact, that combo would go best on black due to c/f being black and no carbon on the rear.

Post pics when done..., im curious to see how it comes out.

might as well ***** this into my v3 front bumper question thread.. lol.

I have read that I will need 06+ wheel well liners to make the bumper fit correctly. Is that right?

I also read that I might need some sort of lower support part for it that Nissan sells.. any info on that?

will I need new sidemarkers? good time to get clear ones if I do, I suppose, but the current ones actually look ok on lemans sunset I think.

Yes, for some reason the later models have a slightly wider wheel well liner.

Yes, its called the front diffuser, its about $450. You must have it because your stock liner will not reach the bottom of V3 bumper. This is a thick plastic undertray that your stock tray bolts to, then it bolts to the bottom of V3. Its a rip-off, but is also GREAT protection for bottoming out due to its thickness.

You will need the 06+ sidemarkers.

i almost chose to go the v3 route, but it was too much trouble, too many parts, and too much money for me. Good thing is the V3 is urethane.

ah I wasn't talking about the diffuser - the seller is including it for me thank god, he mentioned that there was some 50$ support piece that I might need.

thank you for the rest of the info though. definitely a costly add on.
