thanks yah next year i think were going to take everything thats wrapped in matte black and do it in 4D carbon. I really liked Waiz car on here so i took his and made it my own. I blame him for me wanting the V3 nose i have a guy who's going to put on a splitter like mr.Sparco's. she's a work in progress

Still liking the ride!!

No, additional aluminum and fiberglass plates with custom brackets had to be fabricated. Took me a full 2 days to complete without a lift. I used the OEM splash shield.

Default 350Z Nismo front diffuser

I'm trying to purchase the OEM 350Z Nismo front bumper and I've had a couple people who said that i needed to purchase the front bumper diffuser and i spoke to the people selling it and they said it was mainly for looks. I just don't see how its for looks if no one can see it since it'll be under the car. Do i HAVE to purchase that or i can still install the bumper without it. Will it mess up if i don't have it on there. Thanks!

It's actually the opposite. For looks if you don't buy the diffuser. It will look good but as you drive on the highway it's gonna start flapping like a flag. As that happens the screws the hold the bumper on the fender are gonna start coming loose and you're gonna chew up that bumper with your tires along with your mudguards and undercarriage cover.

I just ended up buying the entire Z speed under shroud (metal where the diffuser would be) for the v3 front bumper...as well as the plastic pieces that fit on the left and right of the front of the wheel wells.

I would consider them melikaash, z1 has the undershroud for about 180 and the splash guards go fot 64$ each at the dealer. The bumper will be able to take on anything. Specially those pesky parking concrete bumpers

Okay thanks! When it comes to bumpers, would you go for ABS Plastic or Polyurethane. I'm not a fan of fiberglass or anything that requires custom work since there really isn't anybody here that can do the job. I wanted to go for OEM bumpers and there are 2 sites that say they both carry OEM nismo bumpers, but one is ABS Plastic and the other is Polyurethane. I want to go for the Nismo bumper that comes factory from the dealership. I just don't know which material it is.

Those 2 bumpers are the same...oem ABS plastic/urethane. The Nissan part numbers are the same. I bought mine from Z1 Motorsports, I'd check them out too.
