Default Whats the difference between a V3 and N3 front bumper?

Not really digging the oem front bumper for my 05 z, and feeling the need to upgrade. I wasn't sure what is the difference between the V3 and N3? Is there any design difference? Thanks in advance!

Never really heard of an "N3" bumper, unless it's just a replica aftermarket piece. The NISMO V3 is a factory produced urethane bumper that was part of a body kit offered back in 2007-08. It's expensive (4-5X the cost of a standard bumper) and has a front diffuser and other pieces to complete it. Do a search and you'll find plenty of info on it.

Side note:
V2 has the front bumper slits that match up to the hood. V3 needs the matching hood IMHO. Just my .02
