Default Nismo v3 front bumper installation?

I want to put the v3 nismo front bumper on my black '07 350z. I found one on 'zSpeed' and it says I need the 'filler' in order for the bumper to fit properly. Is that all I need? Also, since my Z is black, is the lip on the v3 bumper black as well? Thanks in advance.

You need the zspeed undershroud (200) and the extension panels (200). Some have gotten away without using these but it is better with them to be safe.

As for paint, the lip is sort of a graphite grey but can be painted any color you want. Paint it all black or give it the gunmetal look. It won't come painted if you're confused about that. It will be bare polyurethane that needs to be prepped and sprayed.

If you have no other grey accents on the car like the true Nismo does, just paint the entire thing black.

Thanks, bud. I just might go all black, just hoping it'll look aggressive.

This thread needs some pics... I'm changed the paint scheme up on my V3 and went all silver and painted the inner grill black. Highly recommend the ZSpeed undershroud and extension... great products, excellent fitment!

That's probably because they are replicas and cheap ones at that. A true V3 bumper will run you at least $700 new and will fit perfectly because its OEM.

Am I the only person that prefers the front emblem on the bumper? I feel like it looks very plain without it. Like too much room with nothing.

I am dealing with now. I am getting ready to add MCR canards and will be filling in the reflectors and was thinking of the hamburger as well.

Yes like sickbay said "Thread needs pics" Try to find an OEM nismo before getting rep. You will be surprised what you can get the OEM stuff for. Also The Zspeed under shroud and extension are a must with this bumper. Great product and fitment. The price is good as well.
