Default Nismo V3 Conversion

I decided to create my first thread to seek help for the Nismo V3 conversion I am going to do. My 2006 350z is used only for the track and it has mostly all mods you can think of (Stage 3 VQ35 Long Block, Greddy Twin Turbo, Roll Cage/Seats/Harness/Steering Wheel, Volk RE30, Coilovers, etc.)

The exterior has never been a main priority, but now I want to clean up the look. I've done a lot of research on this forum regarding the kit and some answers I did not find.

For example:
-Other than the front bumper and extension panel, what other hardware is needed to have a smooth installation? (screws, nuts, bolts?)
-Same goes for the rear bumper. Aside from the rear diffuser and the mesh that do not come included, what parts do I need to complete the installation?

I was looking at the diagrams at courtesyparts and the items are just endless. What is ACTUALLY needed from those diagrams?

Thanks.

yeah i'm aware they have a phone number, but an input from someone who's already gone down this route won't hurt.

i imagine on the front :
bumper
marker lights
nissan badge
zspeed under shroud
zspeed extension panel
i believe z speed has some upgraded brackets as well
paint work
or wrap
( i would buy all new clips and fasteners that attach the bumper , but that's me )

When I was looking into getting the front, from what I recall the 06+ fender liners work so you do not have to change those, but you do need the under shroud. ZSpeed was what I was looking at.

As Trav said, your best bet is probably to call courtesyparts. I called them regarding the front bumper and they were super helpful.

haha that gave me a good laugh. a close friend of mine built the car strictly for the track. i ended up buying it from him after driving it a couple of times. it easily keeps up with most high end cars and overall just performs VERY well. for a hobby on the weekends, it's perfect.
