Default Shine V2 Front Bumper

Shine has the Nismo spec-v2 front bumper without canards for $400+shipping

My front bumper got jacked up when a 18 wheeler blew a tire in front of me so im looking to replace the entire bumper with something new like the v2 from shine


How durable are the spec-v2 front bumpers from Shine?
How is the fitment?
How much would it cost to get it painted black?
Is it easy to install yourself?



Thanks

I have heard nothing but good about Shine and it's fitment. I'd guess maybe 200-400 or so depending where you go to paint the bumper. I always wished I had a friend in the auto body business : (

What is with all the front bumper questions all of a sudden? A simple search will more than answer this question for you man but here's my opinion.

How durable are the spec-v2 front bumpers from Shine?
It's fiberglass... it can be broken easily.

How is the fitment?
I've heard nothing but good about Shine's fitment.

How much would it cost to get it painted black?
Depends on the shop... take it to them for a quote.

Is it easy to install yourself?
If you have to ask then have your shop install it.

I have the Shine V2 and love it. Fitment is great, it's durable, and I had a shop do it. Same thing happened to me when my first V2 bumper had an unfortunate meeting with a truck tire. So I filed an insurance claim and got another V2 which is my current one of 6 years.

I scrape my Shine parts all the time on the monster speed bumps in my track, it just flexes and then goes back in place. Its more flexible and lighter than OEM parts. Fitment is spot.
