I was thinking about the Nismo decal, but I'm trying to decide if it's ricer or not to put it on a replica bumper

Ya I noticed that some bumpers come with different mesh. The other cf bumper that I bought from my friend is the same brand but the mesh for it had smaller holes.

Although I don't really think it's ricer.

I would say a good shop would be able to do something about it but it would cost a lot. This is one reason why I try to get first generation kits as opposed to replicas as when they make a copy of something it doesn't always get all detail or it can have some issues with fitment. What wheels are those BTW

Nope, no extra bondo was needed. The sideskirts fit perfectly without any modification at all. The only modification they did was sand down the area around the headlights just a bit. If you look back at the pictures on the first page, you'll see that it didn't fit so good. That's because the bumper was pressing against the headlights and couldn't be popped into place and closed those gaps. So after sanding it down about 1-2mm, it fit perfectly.

That's what I worry about with my PPW when I get the C-West long nose painted and installed (the color match part, not the replica part 
). It's looking like I'm going to use Intense's in house bodyshop and hope for the best. Should know how it turns out in a couple months.
Again, really nice job calin. I'd be proud of it!
