Passenger side looks good. Drivers side does not. Not acceptable.
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.
All I can say is I have seen that same fitment issue with another V2 bumper, I say no big deal you can't really notice it once it's all painted/installed.
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.
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
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.

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