Default Got my rear bumper installed (pics inside)

Hey guys so I finally installed my V3 rear and it looks great!! I waited like a month and a half for the guy to paint it and get it back to me but it was well worth the wait. I'll take better pictures once I get an opportunity. Let me know what you guys think!

yeah I know a lot of people are not liking that bumper at all but for whatever reason it is my favorite out of all the rear bumpers for the Z. I picked it up from DTM autobody and yeah the fitment and paint are excellent! The guy who paints my stuff is really good.

you need 19's to pull that bumper off. otherwise, thats just too much body for 18 inch wheels.

As others, never been a fan of the bus stop rear bumper, but the fit and paint look great and as long as your happy with it and puts a smile on your face, nothing else matters. Is it a real nismo rear or a replica? I had a X02 as well, but couldn't take the noise and the drone. Replaced with a INVIDIA Genisis. Post some pics when you have it outside. ENJOY

Front bumper is actually Nismo V2 just so you know (even though you cant see it, look at my album so you can see) and Nismo V2 side skirts are on the way. spoiler is sitting in my room and it is the Nismo V2 spoiler with cf centerblade. =) I was gonna wait to put this on but I couldn't. It was driving me nuts. My body kit is a replica. There would be no way in hell I'd pay the price for an authentic lol. Thanks for the feedback guys. I know I'll get a lot of heat for this bumper and I expected it haha.

+1 for as long as your happy with the results. why did it take a month and a half for just a bumper? replicas arent bad, i too rock the X02, sounds better w/ berks
