I am desperate for mods so I got a few things to hold me over until the good stuff shows up. Here is the before picture:

 

And here is after picture:

 

Yeah, I can see that new horn sticking out and that darn cargo netting is reflecting in the rear window!

I assume this is the Clear Bra. I can't tell any difference in these pics anyway.

 

Well Dr I hope you look at your x-rays a lot closer, the difference is the clear/white side markers.

But I guess you are also right, because I just realized that the before was taken when it didn't have the bra and the after does have the bra.

 

did you find a better way to get the white side markers, or did you go through japanparts? and how much?

 

I went through japanparts, I haven't seen anyone else and I figured the price wont be much cheaper, I think it is like 55, so I am done and don't have to wait for someone to make them 45 or 50 if that.

 

HA! So there!

OF COURSE I saw the side marker changes.........they were SOOO Obvious that I chose not to even mention them.......

 

it might be a little thing but i definitely notice those new white markers...i want them but not sure if i want to get it through japanparts...might be cheaper a littel down the road...by the way was it hard to install????

 

Looks nice. How was your Japanparts ordering experience? I'm thinking about ordering the separation net and I could be convinced to order the side markers and the horns if somebody twisted my arm.

 

1) The install on the driver's side was easier, just removed 5 screws on bottom attaching the bumper to the whell well liner and two pins attaching the liner to the car. I reached in and used a phillips to remove two screws. Now the passengers side was a pain, I started the same way but found that the windshield washer reservoir (I think) is right on top of the marker making it pretty hard to reach the screws and this side was also very tight. So after playing around different ways I ended up taking all of the fasterners off that attach the bumper from the center to the passenger's side and pulling the bumper out giving easy access to the screws. If you do this to begin with it would be at the most a 1 hour install. It might be just as easy to go ahead and remove the entire bumper only about 16 screws underneath, 3 screws attaching it to the fenders on each side and 6 pins on the front top.

The order experience with japanparts was a breaze, they got here (FL) in about a week. And as for pricing, I figured they were only 55 bucks so the can't get much cheaper, I would be hesitant to order a 2000 dollar item as there would be a lot of room for price reduction. If you want them go ahead, what can you save, 1o bucks maybe?

 

Hah, I just posted my install in the general section. Exact same thing happened to me. Started on the drivers side, pulled a bit of the lining off and felt my way, figured this is great. Then came the dreaded passanger side. Like you, it took me a long time (2 or more hours) but if I did it all again it would taker an hour. Looks good though.

 

I agree I was so happy after I did the driver's side, I figured it was a piece of cake, then came the passengers side, I was so pissed, also it didn't help that I decided to do it late last night. But I agree if you go after taking the bumper off at least on the passenger side it will take less than an hour, if yo are quick maube a half hour, I wasted too much time trying to figure it out.

 

VQ was asking for other angles in another thread so here is another picture.

 

I did it on my Silverstone. I have pics at home (I'm at work now). I can e-mail them to someone to post because I do not have a server and do not know how to post a pic.

 

his silverstone with clear bumper markers...

 

It looks nice on the Silverstone also. I wasn't sure at first but I am getting to like more than the amber ones definetly.

 

Just a question, where did you get the clear corner/bumper side markers.... looks good

Thanks...

 

I got them from japanparts.com see here: http://www.japanparts.com/NissanPart...3/exterior.htm it is the second item down. I have heard of others trying to do group buys but no one has come through.

 

Thank you.....
