Well, we have sections for Z34 but only a handful of 34 owners ever post here. Far fewer than I'd like to see, given my penchant for the VQVHR and newer Zs in general.
But yeah, the pic the OP posted is decidedly Z34 and clarification needs to happen if OP is asking about front end for 33 or 34?

I'll help you with the research. This is a fiberglass with a plastic flex resin hand made hand laid bumper. It's not a factory stamp, meaning some extra work is involved. Primarily the following:
* dry test fit
* trim & drill mounting points
* begin block sanding & bondo skimming
* primer adhesion promoter & base to clear.
This is why we require body shops with experience in FRP install & paint to do the work. In the world of body work, this is the most advanced type. Not typically suitable for collision centers or dealerships (but talent can be found anywhere).
But this is also why we have a dedicated support staff, a majority of the common complaints stem from lack of install knowledge with this type of product. The very few issues that are truly bad if purchased directly are taken care of and the customer appeased. But please, do your research and try to ignore a majority of the photos of parts being installed in people's driveways.
DryFit (no mods done)
After being installed professionally.
As far as making that gen bumper for a 350z, I'll bring it up. How many people would want one? Say "I".

Hey man, thanks for the reply. I know what you mean when it comes to fitment, I had some issues with my rear bumper but it turned out fine. Its all about finding good installers like you mentioned.
