Nismo v2 bumper is SICK! I'd go with that...anything than the old bumper you have would be an upgrade in looks. But if you really want to have the air duct then go 06+ bumper, buy a veilside v 1 or mines lip and a carbon fiber air duct. That's the second best look IMO.

Pick out some rims that you like. Get rid of the headlight covers for sure and your Z is going to look beautiful.

Oh wait, I just noticed the hood. Wtf kinda hood is that. Yea trash that thing too.

Oh wait again! Get rid of that pin stripe. THEN your call will look sick!

OP obviously doesnt know a ton about cars.. lets cut him a little slack.
At least he doesnt sound 14 years old.

http://nissan350zbodykit.com/

look on here, find one you like, and then search the forum for vendors that sell the bumper.. or those who make a qaulity copy at far less price.

Yes you will find that you can have the body shop heat up and remove the headlight covers ( take care to not pull hard, it will crack the headlights microscopically) , and even a set of OEM wheels would look better than what you ahve..

You just bought the car, i get it. But a set of ebayd Axis wheels in silver would look 100x better and cost you maybe 450 bucks.
Bumper can likely be had for 250-400 bucks, get it installed where terrasmak told you, etc.

Check out SHine or Strafe for decent replica bumpers, Shine being the better of the two.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about saying the car is hidious, this car gets so much good compliments from random strangers its crazy. I like the hood, its not plain and boring. It differentiates itself from all the other Z's ive seen in vegas. For the pinstripe paints and tribals, their beautiful, it gives the car a more edgy look, and again not boring and plain. This car looks solid, you gotta see it in person to truly appreciate its beauty. I get good compliments on the wide! where ever i go. Thats why I want to find out what bumper it has. but no one knows what its called. Currently checking out the v2 that shitz expensive...

OP really... the strangers that may have given you complements were being sarcastic or don't really know what they are seeing. unlike the fellow members here, us all being enthusiast can honestly say that your headlight covers must go. i say if you want to be different stay away from the V2 bumper since everyone has them.

I think my eyes are bleeding.

You're probably just getting compliments from random people who know nothing about cars/ricers, and or drug dealers (Rims). That is the most hideous and riced out z I've seen in awhile. Please return it back to stock. For you to like that, please buy a civic then put some nasty *** body kit and rims that belong on a 97 tahoe, and give the z to someone who will de-rice it.

You're getting attention but it's probably negative. Like everyone said, get a nice bumper (nismo v2, v3, etc.), remove the headlight covers, burn those chrome monstrosities you call rims and get some nice aftermarket wheels. Success will soon follow.

To answer your question, the bumper that is on your car is most likely a replica of the INGS+1 N-Spec front bumper.

There may be additional damage beyond your bumper, from the pics it looks as though you tore out your fender linings as well but I can't tell what else you did unless you remove your bumper entirely.

Regarding your bodyshop question you can look around your regional forum or ask the question there for options:

Are you going for this look or something?



You took away the sexy aspects of a Z.

The wheels are not that bad. It's just to much chrome and needs to be powder coat or paint.

I have a hunch that these are a the random strangers giving you crazy compliments. If so, they know their stuff and you should follow their advice. Police cant even catch them in reverse.

That Z needs serious help sir as you need more than a front bumper.

1. V2 Front Bumper (Shine or VIS or Strafe).
2. Scrap those gaudy rims and get some decent looking 19's with offsets like +20, +15 or +12.
3. Ditch the molded in side skirts for a set of V2 Nismo sides.
4. Remove those awful headlight covers or just go with 06+ Headlights.
5. Lose that hood.
6. I see those ebay tail lights as well... replace with stock tail lights.
7. Lose the pin stripe... your not driving a Cadillac.

Cant see the what the rear looks like to make a recommendation but I feel like this Z is very sad...
