So I bought this Nismo V3 front end from another member about 6 months ago. I will refrain from mentioning the number or his name because I believe he sold this car as undamaged which I can assure you it was not.

Long story short, I got this front end for a song. Of course there was no undertray or associated parts. Also I did not particularly care for the Nismo buckteeth; although I really wanted a longnose with nismo style and OEM fitment.

So this is the result:
















I think now it is kind of Nismo/Amuse superleggera. Also added a carbon front splitter for good measure.

Now the back of my car looks very plain.

Let me know what you think...

paint match is off

other than that, looks alright

honestly i think it looks kind of pointless to have that piece under the arch.. i mean might as well flatten it out the whole thing then..

i guess i just think oem looks better than all

I'm well aware... it was painted off the car. silverstone is notoriously hard to match.
I wish it was dead on but... it is passable in person.

Thanks all... I understand it isn't for everyone.

I'd really like to find some nismo v3 side add-ons and a voltex rear diffuser.

I considered creating another carbon piece to fill the gap in between the bumper lip and the splitter; however the splitter itself was enough work to make me reconsider. The splitter is adding a LOT of rigidity to this bumper and support for the lip on the inside. Removing it at this time is not an option.

It was either splitter or buy that overpriced nissan piece to connect the undertray. I created an aluminum piece ala "zspeed undershroud" to connect to the stock undertray but was underwhelmed by how it looked.

Looks good man from a fellow silver z owner.

Actually going the same route just waiting on nissan to ship my oem nismo front bumper from cali.

Already have the nismo v3 sideskirt add on's and the actual v3 wing along with the voltex diffuser.

A couple of support rods and a filler panel, your good to go.
