Default My new setup: MSA Type 7 front with Nismo side and rear add on

I cracked my V1 couple weeks ago and I was debating between the MSA type 7 or V2. I always like the MSA front bumper, but I wasnt sure if it would flow with the rest of my kit. I was looking for some pic for this exact setup couple weeks ago, but couldnt find any.

I pulled the trigger anyway because I want try something different. The quality of the bumper is good. My body shop guy said the fitment is good for a after market bumper. I am pretty happy with the new setup overall.

Here are some of the pic.

I think it looks good bro, you got it from the z store?
Some black housing 06+ headlights would look even better imo.

Thanks man. Yeah, I got it from the Z store.

I am happy with my blackout 05 light for now. Maybe get the 06+ one later sometime down the line.

It flows nicely with the side skirts. Looks like it scoops up a little bit toward the front which should help with ground clearance too. Also don't see too many Z's around with that front end so it's more original than some other choices out there. Nice job!

Thanks man! That's why I chose this one over the others.

Yeah, this bumper seems longer than the V1, but it doesnt sit too low which works out fine with the longer bumper.

Thanks!

I know what you mean about the paint. I guess paint of the front bumper cant be 100% match with the rest of my car since the car and the paint is over 5 yrs old, I just got to live with it. No offense taken!

In defense of the OP even OEM paint is not a 100% match between the front and rear bumper.

I've noticed the same thing. Hood, fenders, roof, mirrors all look slightly different depending on the angle.

Yeah, especially with PPW. You see a slightly different color in different angle under the sun light.

Now I feel bad for not posting my new pics a month ago when I got my MSA Type 7 installed with my Nismo kit! I just posted the pics last night!

I am glad your happy with it, so am I. Quality of the bumper is amazing.

I just WISH I had your color. Love the PPW
