Default 2008 Nismo Parts

Ive had my 350z for about a year and a half and I love it but i cant stop feeling that the from bumper on the HR model is rounded off. Just feels off to me like the hood pops up and the front needs to be longer, so I was looking at the V2 Nismo bumper and was thinking of doing nismo all around. Should i keep it Gen specific and go with V3 which i dont think looks as good with the curve in the middle or go V2 even though its not for my year. The other parts i like including the side skirts for the nismo models but i think the rear nismo bumper is atrocious looking with it almost having like a step sticking out. So should i go Nismo all around including wing with no rear bumper or just V2 front bumper and say screw all the Gen specific BS. Im just trying to keep a very clean looking blacked out 350z.

Personal preference tbh. If it were me and i had any year z i would do v2 all around and be done. I love the simplicity of the kit.

Both are great, I like both and run a V2 front. Next will be a V3 front with the rest if the V2 kit.

Bottom line: Do what YOU want and stop concerning yourself with what OTHER people think.

Do what you want, just have fun with the car. I have a Nismo edition and I love the V3 look. I picked up an 03 a about a year ago that I've been tracking, and will soon start doing V3 on that one as well.

GL trying to find OEM V3 Parts for sale, it's not as easy as it sounds. Sure, you can find the front bumper easily but trying to source the other parts is a nightmare. You're also looking into spending quite a lot of money once you do.

V3 FTW though. I personally feel V2 is not all that great, I really don't care for the look. V3 is functional aerodynamically
