Default Nismo Front lip and rear spoiler

What is the cheapest place to get the Nismo front lip spoiler and the rear spoiler? I would prefer not to have replicas and to have the front lip made of urethane.

Thanks

Just get the replicas on ebay. You will never know the difference and its a fraction of the cost. If you hit the bumper no matter what its made out of its pretty much gone. You can get the whole kit with the spoiler for about 599 sometimes. The replica spolier is 179 now on ebay.

Gruppe-S, do they just make a lip or do I have to buy the whole front bumper? Also how much is your spoiler and what is it made out of?

Currently there is no NISMO front lip. just the full bumper(japan Version only) thats why it's so much.

The replicas look excellent. I've seen a bunch in person.

A US NISMO lip only has been expected forever. who knows
when the hell it's hitting our shores.

I really would not like to have the whole front bumper, I just want the front lip. So I guess I could go over to Veilside for that. What do you guys think about the look and quality of the Veilside front lip compared to the Nismo?
And about the spoiler. I dont like not having a warranty on the products that I purchase. On my last car (95 acura legend coupe) I bought a spoiler from Wings West and it cracked very bad, so I sent it back and got a new one. What is the best place to buy the wing with a warranty? What material are the Nismo wings made out of?

Have you ever thought about the Hasemi Lip Spoiler? Looks quite similar to the NISMO "Lip" Spoiler.

Are the Nismo parts made out of urethane? If I get fiberglass for the front lip will it be hard to not have it get damaged and crack?

It's FRP. Fitment was surprisingly perfect. Has held up quite well. I made the mistake of going down a steep driveway. Pushed the lip up . Made a terrible scraping sound, but no cracks! Only small scrapes on the underside of the lip. If that's not strong, I don't know what is

The genuine NISMO Parts are Fiberglass.

So I take it that urethane isnt any better than Fiberglass? What is FRP by the way?
Sorry for all the questions I am just trying to figure out what will be the best and strongest material for the front lip.

yeah im in the same position as you are. I really want the Nismo Kit in urethane material. Another question to add to it.......is the Nismo front, a front bumper or just a front lip?

The current Nismo is a front bumper. But they are in development of a front lip that should of been released along time ago, but hasnt yet. I think I am correct.

Is the urethane worth the extra cost over the fiberglass (for durability purposes)? Also, what is FRP material?

Actually, urethane is cheaper than fiberglass....go figure. FRP is fiberglass reinforced plastic; suppose to be more flexible than fiberglass.

Sweet you have been a big help fdao. I think I might go with your Lip because it looks just like the Nismo.

Do any Nismo parts come in urethane or are they all fiberglass?
