Hey guys. my stock bumper is damaged and missing pieces so I need a new 1 asap because any1 with a socket wrench can steal my headlights

After lots of debating I decided to go with a vertex replica front bumper but I haven't seen many threads talking about fitment and quality of various vendors selling this bumper.
All the threads I found on the vertex were just people saying better to buy authentic then replica but I am on a budget and my neighborhood has bad roads so I dont want to spend lots of $$$ and drive around with a cracked bumper.
I have found tons of nismo v2 replica threads and most people say that shine and strafe make good quality v2 replica parts so I went off of that but...shine doesnt sell a vertex replica and strafe sells like 3.
So anyone who has any info or has a vertex replica front please feel free to throw in your 2 cents. Thanks

 

these 2 pics are the ones that made me decide to go with the vertex. hope the owners dont mind im using their pics

 

definitely get the version select kit, hands down the best fitting vertex rep out there, i heard the others dont fit at all. fyi shine does make a replica vertex lip kit, i got mine from them.

 

sorry op - not intending to thread jack but got any pics of your lip kit from shine zenmstr? thinking of going with the same lip kit from same vendor - why i ask.

 

just found this thread. looks like the version kit replica and origin lab make the best replica. Ill b buying it as soon as i get out of work
Until them does anyone have any pics of their replica installed?

i had a origin and it fit like a glove.



dont believe all replicas are garbage that is not true. its a hit or miss.

 

^ damn that looks nice, great car

 

Get a diffuser some apr chit and you will be golden. That was my plan but their was a big twist i wasnt expecting.

 

picked up the version select replica on friday. fitment is perfect. You just need to drill your own holes. Also, damn is that thing low, ive scraped every speedbump ive come into contact with lol

 

How much lower than stock is the bumper? I need a good low bumper and I feel like the look is original. And how sturdy is it?

 

I'll throw up some pics tonight to show u how much lower it is. It's also very sturdy, very little flex so it will crack if you hit something hard enough

 

You pick it up from TF on Black Friday? I was gonna ask them how much it would be but got carried away with buying other stuff and forgot.

 

Yup, took me a bit of driving to realize that TF is version select. Picked it up for $250
Where you the guy in the blue 350z?

 

Full kit or just FB?
Was gonna pick it up soon but guess ill wait till next year.
No, not sure who that was. I was driving my GF's maxima because I planned on having to fit 6 wheels in there. haha

 

just the front bumper, its $280 originally so they only took off $30 for the black friday special

 

Good buy bro, glad you went with my suggestion.

 

Look at the fender liner. You can see where the stock bumper ended

Just to show you how low off the ground I am. I am lowered on tein springs so if your riding at stock height you should be fine
