Default Replica Nismo V2 Bumper

Ok, so i got my replica V2 bumper and im in the process of buying other parts and install everything on at once, my question is, (since i searched and found nothing) how do you guys, with replica bumpers, attach the fender liner to the bumper? or how did your shop do it? im trying to figure it out to make it look as clean as possible so any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Good question.. My fender liner doesn't line up either... This is why the real Nimso V2 comes with everything including fender liner which i think is longer or has attachment points.

Yep- get new front liners (the fender liner for the front wheels have two pieces- front and back) from courtesyparts.

The front wheel front liner will bolt fine into your old front wheel rear liner.

Lol maybe my replica is just really cheap haha, got it from extreme dimensions and this is what the part where the original fender liner would connect to on the OEM bumper, but mine looks way different:

anyone have any experience with cheaper bumpers like this?

You're going to have to drill the holes for the fender to mount on the bottom. You'll see what you need to do once you get the fender itself.

If you have an 03-05 Z, then your fender liner will look like it's too small and won't line up correctly with the bumper. You'll need to get 06+ fender liners if you want them to line up. My friend had the same problem.
The reason for this is because the V2 bumper was designed for an 06+ Z

Yeah, I get it. The 06+ fender liner tucks in on the side and bolts in the bottom.

My friend bought his from http://www.courtesyparts.com/
I'm not sure if you need both parts of just the front part though.

I used a zip tie between the two outer most V2 mounting points to secure the my 03 fender liners when I had my V2. Not ideal, but I never had a problem with it (the holes in the fender liners are only a couple inches off from the holes in the bumper).

The V3 needs it's own bottom diffuser, the V1 and V2 work perfectly fine with the OEM version.
