Default Right Place to buy V2 Front Bumper?

Hey guys quick question, I am trying to buy a V2 Front bumper for my Z but don't know where I should order it from. Trying to avoid the nightmare of fitment and not trying to pay for authentic. I know shine made great ones but I don't think they make them anymore, if they do please leave a link. So basically what I'm asking is where should I order this bumper from to get a good fitment?

Contact mvp motorsports (vendor on this forum) about the shine stuff. They usually post in the vendor classified exterior forum.

I have the same question. Im looking for the V2 bumper and side skirts as well. There are a lot of companies that sell that kit. Any good or bad reviews from people that actually purchased from them? jme? ed?

Have only had one personal experience with a smaller part from them. But from what i hear as far as replicas go shine is one of the best. http://www.shineautoproject.com

I doubt they would discontinue one of the, if not the most, popular front bumper for the Z.

+1 on VIS. Mine was spot on fitment.

Extreme Dimensions makes a urethane version now but I am unsure of the fitment.

Just ordered one from VIS got a great price and they'll be happy to answer any questions you have. I ordered the frp one and it should be here Friday. Hopefully I can test fit it on Friday. I'll be sure to upload some pics of the fitment on this page.

Get a polyurethane one fiberglass or Frp is definitely not the way to go it will crack way to easily trust me unless you are riding stock height it's worth the extra cash

VIS racing nismo v2 frp. Everything lined up pretty well just some of the holes needed to be drilled a little larger and the bottom needs holes drilled to mount the fender liners and under tray. The bumper was not bolted on, I just slid it into place. Besides that everything was good.

Very informative thread.
I've been trying to decide if I want to go with the nismo v2 or something else since the v2 is so popular

I hear those guys over at Extreme Dimensions have a forum guy practically giving away parts. I also heard they have both Polyurethane and FRP bumpers...
