Default 350z v3 front bumper

Hi Everyone,


Anyone installed an Authentic V3 bumper with the underneath part that is needed; is this bumper pretty much bolt on. I'm going to get one soon but want to save all the hassle if its a pain in the *** to install it. All Comments/opinion are appreciated.

P.s Anyone know where I can find a cheap one like from low $300 - $550?

You get what you pay for. I highly doubt you'll find an authentic one in that price range.

Read up. There is an additional extension panel you need for it. You can get an eBay knock off but who knows if fitment will be ok or not.

As others have said, there's plenty of threads on V3 installs, so read on. I installed an OEM V3 bodykit on a Z racecar at Road America and with all the parts, it still took three days to complete. No way to get a "cheap one", as the V3 front or rear bumper will run $2K by itself with all the parts.

Alright thanks guys, I'm just not digging the rear bumper, in my opinion it looks awful, just loving the front, probably going to fill in the side markers and put some mcr canards on, **** looks sick

Was it a direct bolt on? I know that the only thing you really need is that underneath diffuser. I just need to know about the fitment

Fitment with the front OEM urethane panels were spot-on. But there were a couple of parts that make up the splitter and diffuser. They all fit together the way they were designed to.

My buddy recently picked up the AIT Nismo v3 replica, and it fit surprisingly good. I guess it's hit and miss with them because I've seen a few bad reviews as well.

I will be doing a full nismo v3 body. I have the oem spoiler, oem front and oem rear bumper, and AIT side skirts on the way. AIT fits better than most body kit companies. The diffuser is a must unless you want the bumper to flex and crack or ruin your new paint over time. The v3 bumper gives the front a longer nose.
