Even if there is going to be a poly on the market, i bet most people will still go with fiberglass. In my area there are good replica's with 8.5-9/10 fitment that costs ~130 bucks lol

 

:dun no:

 

I wrk with a bodykit/performance parts company that is looking to make new parts for the market, if ther is enough interest. Hence this thread.

 

Benefits of poly vs fiberglass is durability. Exp: had a poly nismo frnt bumper on my G, hit a GATOR TIRE head on, on the freeway. Only damage was scratches. If the bumper we're fg, it would have been done

 

Exp 2: in n out of driveways in a lowered car is a *****. Always scrapping n bottoming out. My poly nismo took 4 years of abuse n only had scratches n minor spider web cracks in the paint

 

I only say 4 years bcause I sold the car, n bumper is still good.

 

I know poly n fiberglass both have their share of pros n cons. But this thread is only to gauge interest iin a poly nismo v2 front bumper for the 350z, not to start a debate on whether which material is better

 

people have come and gone gauging interest in a poly version of the v2, and showed tremendous amount of interest among members but none how come to realization

 

yes i would be interested in a poly version.

 

me too^^

 

me three ^^

 

Just curious...who do you work for/with...? I have a strange suspicion about where this is headed but I'm hoping you can prove me wrong.

And identifying the company's name is not advertising and will not violate the forum rules.

 

I thought most of the V2's were poly? I PM'd a vendor about a poly V2 a while back and he acted like it was no problem and they had been selling them for a while.

 

Authentic and replica V2's are all fiberglass.

Poly is also harder to paint right.

Something you're overlooking is start-up cost for a poly mold. Not likely gonna happen/be worth it.

 

actually poly is easier to paint and the durabilty to cracks is a lot better.

 

I PM'd DTMAUTO back in august about some prices on the V2 front and sides in poly and he said they can get it in poly, it's just $20 more.

 

The only problem I see with poly is its flexibility in the splitter and canard areas. If that would be addressed I'd pay a little more for the poly.

 

The Shine version is probably the closest thing to Poly. Pretty damn flexible, but definitely not just $20 more haha.
