Aftermarket Front Bumpers/Nismo Replicas
What's up people? I have a question it might be a stupid one but I searched and could not find a answer. Ok, when you buy a aftermarket bumper or a nismo replica it doesnt matter which one it is. When it comes down to the splash guards and the shrouds on the bottom in the front of the engine do you have to get rid of them or if you dont is it worth rigging with the new bumper? I looking into getting a karuma Z front bumper or the a nismo v2 repilca. Any advice on whats a good company to go with?

fender liners go with the bumper
a V2 takes the 06 + ones
no idea what a kuruma bumper is
lower splash guard/undertray is the same across years - some bumpers give you provisions for it to bolt up, others don't and you'll have to figure out a way to connect them

the Shine V2 is the best version out there IMHO - we're not big on replica stuff, but their pieces have great quality overall, are made here in the US, and tons and tons of guys on the forums have them and love them. That was the reason we picked them as the replica firm we would deal with

My Nismo V2 replica bumper is from Shine Auto, and when it was installed I was still able to use my under tray, and splash guards.
Only thing is under highway speeds, the spash guards tend to slighly pop out, in which I just gently push them back in and its fine.
Any good body shop should be able to handle this.
