On the driver side, the headlight is preventing me from being able to push the bumper in. Either the headlight needs to be tilted upwards a bit, or the bumper slightly shaved. I'm sure a body shop can make it fit though.

 

Which vender did you get it from... you can pm if you feel to keep it low profile?

 

its gonnna look nice

 

No vendor, I bought it from a local seller.

 

you fruit.... it can be fixed!

 

Did he buy it from a vender?

Looks like AI or Strafe (same product)

 

 

which shop you going to? no canards?

 

Canards or fail

 

HAHA you wouldn't happen to be talking about mine would you? Actually I know he means mine, and my guess is that you got that kit from Auto Infantry, I had the same "issue" as you and decided that it wasn't that noticable and decided not to fix it. Unless you know it's there or are studying the bumper really hard your not going to see it.

 

Nice first post....now GTFO

No, I bought it from a local seller. There's no replica brand name on it either, just a serial number and the date it was made.

I'll give DTM and Auto Explosion a call tomorrow to get some quotes. Pretty much everyone is recommending DTM.

I have the canards too but I haven't decided if I'll put them on or not




Oh and here's a shot I just took for fun. I'll probably leave those on the bumper until I get it painted

 

^ If your wondering that bumper was originally from auto infantry.

 

How do you know?

 

+1 on the canards

 

B/C when I got my Nismo V2 from them it looked exactly like yours and had the same fitment issues as yours.

 

Oh ok, could be then. Do you remember if it had a yellow tag on the back of it with a serial number and date made? The funny thing is that I came really close to buying this kit directly from AI, but then a local guy sold it for much cheaper...so I got a really sweet deal on it I think

 

^^^
Can you PM me the details of the seller??? I'm really interested in that bumper now....

 

I apologize as I look again there is no way in hell any headlight adjustment will fix that.. It needs to be filled in..

 

It actually doesn't look too bad in person. Look at this picture. See how it looks like it needs to be pushed in more (like towards the rear of the car)? Well the bumper is hitting the headlight which is preventing it from being able to go back more. All a shop needs to do is just sand down that part a bit and then you can align it much better. I'll be sure to post the final results in this thread once it's all done.

 

Sorry, he had 2 bumpers for sale and my friend and I bought them both lol. I found out it's an Auto Infantry replica though. They're a vendor on this forum.
