Default Damaged Front Bumper/Question about Nismo V3

Today I was driving safely down a street and some lady ran a red light. I broke as hard as I could but I couldnt avoid hitting her passenger rear. It wasn't to bad but my front bumper is gone.



Anyways, I was looking to get the Nismo V3 front instead of an Amuse. I was just wondering what most members are doing about the front diffuser. How are you guys installing the Nismo V3 without using the front splitter/diffuser if you are doing so? What did you guys do with the undertray and is it attached to the front Nismo V3 bumper?

You could get an APR diffuser or just get one made out of aluminum if you have access to a dremel.

What sides and rear are you planning on running?

Does APR make a nismo specific diffuser? As for the rear I'm still going to run the amuse. And as for the sides I'll either do the v2, amuse, or the ings unless I can find a good deal on the v3 sides.

I just found a thread on how to make a diffuser. Most likely I'll end up doing that.

The APR is a universal splitter, but glad to hear that you found a solution.

Just remember that the actual diffuser is not a full diffuser but actually just a solution that extends from the OEM undertray, so you don't need to make a full undertray just an extension.

Yah I saw that. Thanks for info waizz. I just don't want to spend 400 on the nismo Diffuser. I'll have to make a template and bring it to a local sheet metal place.

That's exactly what I would do as well, no reason to pay that much just for a little piece of plastic that no one will ever see.
