Check the radiator section to see if you need to cut it shorter.

You have to remove the undertray.

^yeah, I had to remove the plastic panels too. I didn't even bolt up the bumper from the bottom, didn't feel like jacking the car up, but I knew the fender liners were preventing it from bolting up but I figured I'll leave that up to the body shop when the time comes. Do you have any pic's of where you trimmed the fender liner?

No full test fit, I'll probably let the body shop do it(which won't be for a while), so not sure how the liners bolt up. Yes, oem undertray must be removed, this bumper has a built in diffuser so it replaces your bumper and oem undertray.

not sure how a big gap where the hood meets the bumper is spot on, but the fitment on the sides looks good.

sorry, eye sore to me .. unless its a functional gap like the LFA I don't want to see it. : P

It seems like it is normal, look at the grey 350z with full sl2 kit, same gap.

Hi guys,

Somehow I couldn't get the bumper flush with the fender.

Thanks.

hardly a big gap.. if you wanted to completely eliminate that you can have your body shop glass the gap down to 0. but other than that for an aftermarket bumper the fitment is spot on.

having gone through a couple of bumpers I heartily disagree. my shine bumpers had zero gap and no work needed to close the gap. whatever helps sell your sloppy products though : )

at least the gap makes Atomic's car look like an angry face. he's all like >: )

I also would like to see some pics of where the fender liners needed to be cut.
