Hey I find myself in need of a 2008 front bumper was going to go aftermarket but the budget of 1k won't allow for that and I will not go get a eBay bumper lol. Anyhow is there any other trusted websites that sell 350z bumpers that have great fitting?

I had a recent lost asking best place to buy a OEM bumper but I just wanted to explore all options 1st only thing wrong with my current bumper is that the under shroud was ripped partially off just the front part that connects to the bumper so I cant just get a new shroud and screw it in. My question is if I by a new shroud and drill new holes would it work and would I have to get a plastic one or a brand new one??

Why wouldn't you go on eBay for bumpers? They have OEM bumpers. You'll have to buy used one.

No issues with a used oem bumper... No matter where you get it from.

What you are reading are issues with replica bumpers.

That being said Z1 has a sale on oem nissan 350z bumpers...cheap

I seen some on this forum specifically aftermarket ones. I searched eBay for OEM and all that came up was aftermarket. Thanks for the link I'll check it out

Me too just called Nissan they have OEM bumpers for $352. And eBay selling whole kits for $424 sounds like a lot of fitment issues for the price from ebay

Also probably going to go with the zseed metal under shroud vs the OEM plastic one which caused rips on my original bumper

Sounds like u got a good deal for the price hard to find people in va area selling z parts most of the guys i knew with z's sold them

That $452 was supposed to be a $352 typo didn't catch it but a friend of mine found one for $250 black oem for my car just have to go pick it up on my day off probably Saturday or monday. Glad cause I can now get my y pipe, aluminum under shroud and window motor.
Window motor + install $380
Aluminum shroud 180+tax=210
Bumper 250
And stillen y pipe 224
Total$1064
Installing myself at the AF hobby shop in va not bad for $1064 to get it bk to good condition
