Default Best NISMO V2 Front Bumper

I managed to hit a cat, and a cone on the freeway in the last month. Rather then go into fixing my stock 2003 bumper I was looking at the NISMO v2 bumpers, what are the best quality kits, or at least one that will fit nicely on my '03?

BausAuto had a pretty expensive tag on it but great quality / fitment. No regrets!

My ED is 8/10. But that's without any work done other than paint. I choose bausauto if I get to choose again. Since you're already spending the money, might as well get it done right from the start

Don't cheap out on a front bumper... if you do it's gonna be obvious, complete hell for your body shop and may end up costing more to fit it than just buying something known to fit. Just save up, it's not hard to do.

Also the aerosync is not a V2 bumper.

Depends what hes looking for. Here is bausauto's pricing:

FRP
$130 no canads or cf
$210 with canards
$340 with canards and cf lip

Poly
$340
$390 with frp canards
$420 with cf canards

Plus shipping and paint on top of that. The price can get up there quickly...

A pair of them? Do you mean you bought the whole kit? They are offering the full kit for $379.76+tax/shipping. The front bumper alone is $146.25+tax/shipping/

How does the V2 bumper look with the rest of the body stock?

Like a V2 with a stock body.... lol

It's not going to look great on a stock Z. You need at least a drop and wheels to pull it off... I am waiting until I have all the parts so I can do it all in one install day. I have the bumper, cf canards and wheels. I lack nismo sides, shine ts rear diffuser and coilovers... also paint for the front and sides.

Just do your research. I bought from Ben at Baus Auto and couldn't be happier with the VIS V2 and their customer service is A++++!

Yes a pair, you can see the other in the background. Bumpers are expendable items as seen in the next pic. Kinda glads i didn't get my first V2 painted, it only lasted a few months. I'm getting the 2 new ones painted at the same time.

Then how the V2 looks with the rest as a stock body. I think the wing helps with the look.

My ED required a little bit of work to fit perfect but nothing extreme. I'd buy again since it was so cheap.

Just wait until something local pops up. Why pay for shipping. I hate shipping cost and waiting for items to be shipped.

Also many other great bumpers out there do some searching.
