V3 front install questions
Going to order the parts to go from the stock bumper to the v3 bumper on my 2007 350z. I'm not knowledgable about the install. I've looked for a DIY but couldn't find one, but here's my understanding to successfully install it. Jack the car up, remove both front wheels, remove the stock undertray and stock bumper, remove splash guards and finally install the new bumper and undertray. Is everything listed in order? And did I miss anything? I'm also confused about the undertray. Do I install the undertray before the bumper? I was also told there are two parts to the undertray which I'm not familiar with. If anyone has any information I would really appreciate it. Also guys while I'm here, my Z is black and I'm stuck between the bumper being all black or having the authentic metal gray color that the black nismo 350Zs have, what do you personally think would look better? Thanks in advance!

1. Google 350z service manual. From there you can find the service procedure for removing or installing every single part of the car for your future reference. This is on the "other" 350z website so I won't link it but it is the top search result.
2. You need the extension for the undertray. Nissan calls this part a diffuser, it's roughly $500 and plastic. Zspeed performance sells an aluminum one around $195ish. I have it, it is good quality and fitment. You can/should not run the bumper without this piece, this is where all of the stability of the bumper comes from.
3. There are two corner pieces and 4 tabs that are no longer included in the sale of this bumper cover. Ask Joe from Zspeed what he recommends doing. I made my own out of aluminum, but depending on your handiness, you might do better to buy them.
