not that i was gonna do it, but that is an inexpensive to modify your stock bumper to replicate the nismo bumper.

it probably won't look that good actually.... cuz the grille bar is kinda skinny when compared to the nismo bumper. so even if you paint the middle bar, it might not be that noticable.

yeah, and also the bar is recessed further in than the nismo bar is. i guess i will just save up my pennies to get the real nismo bumper. just was hoping of not having to spend the $800 some odd bucks for the real thing, being that they are nearly identical to the stocker except for the bottom lip and center grill bar.

i wouldnt want the fiberglass bumper either because of the chance of it cracking.

oh yeah, i "euro-zied" my license plate... no more fix it tickets for me i hope
How did you "euro-size" your license plate? I have the same problem with the Stillen grille in front and fix it tickets to deal with.

Looks good and that is exactly what I need to do. Can you give me some insight? Thanks.

I wonder if its possible to get a replica nismo bumper, trimming off the bottom lip and adding the v1. Expensive, but it would look pretty.

$ 36.00 tank of gas going to 3 places to get this done
Mr Twisted is 125$ for clear bra the entire front bumper or just the lower lip, I have a nismo bumper and If I can get the clear bra with that price would be amazing. Im in So cal too, where are these guys located at.

I'll answer for Mr. Twisted...

$125 is for the Veilside lip spoiler only (custom job). The front bumper is extra.

Envisage is located in Torrance. I was about to post a link to their website, but, it doesn't seem to be working for me.

i used a dremel to shave the stock grille in order to create space inbetween the stillen grille and the bumper. then i used vice grip looking tool to fold the plate. and then easy tied it and put the stillen grille back. pretty time consuming.
and i still got in trouble for my front plate. oh well
