Default nismo v3 front shaved sidemarkers or w/ canards?

I'm planning to send my car to bodyshop to get my whole kit on and need input on my front bumper. I got a nismo v3 front and rear bumper still looking for nismo v3 sides. I'm dead set on the nismo v3 kit since poly > fiberglass.

My current set up w/ canard




or no canards and keeps it clean.



i'm leaning more on keeping them on just cause it grew on to me and easy to spot my car with it but everytime i see a jdm nismo v3 front bumper its soo clean lol.

keep it or ditch it?

Whatever you decide to go with, make sure you have them match it better than it is now...

the bumper looks great shaved. I would take out the grill and use one pair of canards..... the MCR canards!

i think he put the bumper on as a mock up/test fit and didn't bring it yet to the bodyshop for paint.

With the car in it's current state I think it is too stockish to make the canards work. With a full kit and wing I think the canards would then fit the car better.

+1. he says he's getting a nismo v3 kit already. so all he needs is a GT wing or something to complete the look.

correct on the chrome silver and my car is silverstone. Seller told me it was silverstone but o wells we worked it out and i'm pretty sure the bumper won't circulate no more as i'm happy with the fit and quality. No headaches just choose paint.

correct on the test fit and going to bring it to body shop once snow starts melting

and I'm planing to get headlight/tail lights till after I get the whole kit done and painted.

I currently have a rear nismo v3 bumper and for side i'm highly going to end up w/ nismo v3 sides and wing is still undecided. I agree at its current state as a front bumper only w/ canards that it doesn't look right but i'm sure a proper kit will make it flow right.

thanks for the input guys.

I wouldn't keep those canards on there since they are the V2 canards but MCR would look best if you can swing it.

I hate reflectors so those would need to go as well IMO
