I have yet to have seen a V3 style bumper without the diffuser.
I bet it would look pretty decent though. IMO.

If it wasn't 'necessary' why would Nissan include it on the car when it's new? Surely they aren't intending every factory NISMO going from the showroom straight to a life spent only on the track

If you don't want the bumper flopping around and you want to actually be able to drive the car at any decent speed without the front being prematurely light and twitchy, some sort of underpanel needs to be there

You would definitely need a diffuser or fabricate something like in the thread above because there is a huge gap between your stock oem diffuser and the nismo v3. Unless you want v3 replica which has the diffuser built in.
