Default Would you do this to your Z?

I have an 06 touring.

I don't have a Nismo.

Ultimately, I do as I please...Hey, it's my car, my life, my choices, but.....


Would you put on a Nismo bumper on your non-nismo Z? I ask because the z community opinion matters to some degree.

I'm interested in the Nismo V3 Front Bumper. It's super mean but super clean!

Thanks for the responses. Now take a look at this. Is this right?

http://www.courtesyparts.com/kb_search_result.php?keywords=[62650S]+\%28z33&cPath=714_715_824_825

Only $272.66

I know painting will cost a bit, but a authentic nismo bumper for under $300.00.

Interesting choice of font size. A bunch of folks have Nismo bumpers/sides on their Z. Nothing wrong with it...

yes, it's just a bumper, and a very nice looking one
nismo parts are very nice, and that is undeniable, bumper, rims, skirts etc.

but as said above, dont put nismo all over it and don't go around telling everybody it's a nismo when it's not
be modest, and tell it like it is... nobody likes a ********ter

Damn. You're right, just found out that you have to purchase the front diffuser as well.

$1,200 easily.




I'm bummed out. Gotta save some loot. This won't be so turn key.
