the nismo following is odd to me.. its the one part everyone doesnt care that everyone is buying.. im always down for a unique car.

Its not that the nismo is bad.. dunno.. its a stock part tho... really? U guys love it THAT much?

id say jump on the Origin kit.. btw that is a vertex front end you had up there next to the Nismo.. Origin, etc etc.. are all knock off brands.. Its vertex dude, JDM and costly.

I hear the knock offs r ok tho. You can search on who not to buy them from for sure.

OP. It's already been mentioned.
Choose what YOU like, not what others say.

But damn the V2 is bomb :]

V Speed or V2? Neither

Rather the Stillen, or maybe a Greddy lip on your stock front.




But obviously and ultimately, it's whatever you think looks good.

I never understood the huge nismo bumper following either. It's not a bad looking bumper but EVERYONE has it and it really doesn't change things up very much.
Be different. The extreme popularity of the v2 nismo is exactly why I didn't get it.

Default Which nismo v2 replica has a better fit?

Got quoted 550 for shine replica and 300 for extreme dimensions duraflex replica... is the shine worth the extra 550 for the fitment or no? thanks guys and pics of course are always encouraged. thanks again

I don't know from owning one of their bumpers, but I have read that Shine replica bumpers fit well.

OP your three threads have been merged since you can't seem to decide on a front bumper option and you are not choosing to utilize the site search function.

Don't get the extreme dimensions junk as I have heard it's poor fitment...

PM Ben at Auto Design and he will hook you up. I got my VIS V2 from him and it's awesome.

Here yah go man... it's a cell phone pic from the day I got it and the entire bumper is dusty from shipment. CF canards look amazing as well...

Predrilled and ends are protected with blocks of wood to prevent damage. Also comes with the air duct just like the original Nismo V2 bumper. Like I said this is the VIS bumper.

I will be doing a test fit next week and taking pic's. Hoping for excellent fitment!

Oh one more thing... take your time deciding on a bumper. It's a lot of money to spend getting one along with all the paint work to end up not being happy.

It's taken my over a year to decide on the V2 simply due to clean lines of the Nismo Z's.
