AIT "NISMO 3 Style" Front Bumper
 
Does anyone have any pictures of this bumper installed on their car? On their website all they have is the one and it is difficult to tell how it looks from different angles. Also, how is fitment? Thanks guys!

They are probably just reselling the VIS version that several vendors have sold in the past.

Here are examples:

The ait racing bumper has the vertical pillars in the grill similar to the nismo. The VIS is missing these.

im getting this bumper paint and install soon. Will update this thread later with pics and fitment quality. $450 shipped to my house.

^i think the authentic one is 200$ more? Not too bad for polyurethane vs fiberglass.

yea but for Authentic Nismo v3, if your car is 03-05, you need to spend another $600 for all the support parts like undertray panel, fender lining to make the bumper fit lol.

And why wont you have to add some supports for the vis one?? Fender liners fit from an 03. You just need the diffuser which is 4xx. Let us know if the front bumper has the extended bottom.

I believe there is a DIY on how to make the diffuser out of sheet metal, so it could be cheaper than that :dunno:


OP: You asking how it looks from different angles? It's a replica of the OEM bumper, it will look the same as any other nismo. As for fitment, IDK, haven't heard much about AIT

Last month two guys came to our monthly meet with this bumper, both of them complained about how poorly the bumpers fit and how much work was needed to make them line up properly

the blue one look like authentic Nismo v3 since it has the LED side markers. The one OP post is doesn't have the slot for the side marker or hole for Nissan badge. The white one look like its from another company as well, not from the OP. It doesn't have the upward curve and curve in the middle like from AIT.

The bumper from the OP is NOT VIS. We are talking about the bumper from AIT Racing.

This is the bumper I am getting. Hope the fitment is good. Will keep this update.

The one that this thread was made for I always understood as being for the NISMO V3 Replica, the photos I posted are not the authentic versions since I took the photo and asked the owner about the bumper so obviously I would know what I am posting about

Edit: Now that I look at this one closer I see that it is in fact an entirely different design that combines both the SL2 & NISMO V3 designs, let us know how it turns out for you ICE

got the bumper today. The car and the bumper are at a shop right now getting fitted and painted. The quality of the fiberglass is pretty good, everything is nice and smooth, better than most other fiberglass bodykit that he had seen before. It looks exact like the OEM Nismo V3, except for the OEM logo spot and side markers.

I got tons of pics here:

true wais it's an SL2 and V3 hybrid or something. too many intersecting grills in the center imo.

JDSMotoring 07-17-2012 10:11 AM

nice purchase but i'm biased towards the nismo v3.

in for pics!

Chebosto 07-25-2012 09:17 AM

those middle vertical pieces make it look horrible.

Waiz 07-25-2012 09:50 AM

Thanks for adding those pics ICE
