Default Calling all owners of SL2 or SL2_CF Front Bumpers

Calling all owners of the Strafe SL2 or SL2_CF front bumper.

After an extensive search, I keep bouncing on the same 350Z owned by user Vas_Z33, which by the way, looks incredible! (Pictured below).

A hand full of users at my350Z.com, have stated that they have purchased this part, but I have yet to see a single photo of the bumper mounted on their car's.

Can you please post a photo of the SL2 mounted on your Z, painted or not.
And if possible, please drop a line regarding fitment.

Thanks for your time.

I didnt buy mine from strafe. I didnt even know they existed. The fitment was ok, I had a body shop really dig in and fit it along with the do luck widebody. The shop was really good at what they do as you can see. A lot of work was involved in putting my car together and it took a long while for me to get the parts. I had to have another shop cut the bumper in order to fit my front mount intercooler and tranny cooler.

here u go

For some reason when I see this front I always think of the Nismo V3. Looks hot though.

yea, i was gona get the nismo V3, but this look the same, and a little better imo!

i orderd mine from strafe auto, so i should have mine next week or the week after at latest, i cant wait.

ill post photos when i can, but dont expect it to be for a wile, i raped my car into a tree so i have to get frame pulled a little in the front,
so dont take my fitmentablity to heart cuz im getting hood and bumper put on with frame pulling to make sure everything lines up.

For the price its a no brainer vs the nismo v3...

However, I have only heard about the fitment from strafe. they told me it was "one of the better fitting bumpers". I guess you can take that with a grain of salt since they are trying to sell them. I have a nismo v3 that may or may not work out as it was damaged. I still may end up going this route.

Installation of Aerodynamics All aerodynamics are manufactured with 100% fiberglass or poly. Due to the material used in production, the body kits will NOT be a direct bolt-on. These body kits may require prepping, sanding, shaving, filling gaps, or other extensive body work. These modifications may include removal or cutting of the reinforcement bars. By complying with our policies, customer understands the procedure and possible difficulty in installing the body kit. We HIGHLY recommend that a professional body shop with fiberglass body kit experience perform the installation. Refunds will not be issued due to poor fitment of the body kit.

Just read the disclaimer they have - if you have no issues with it...cool...if you do - let the shop fix it and get it installed..

Yup, read that, was just curious to get an idea of the extent of work this puppy might take. Gauge my total budget alittle better.
