When I bought the car the previous owner had cut a hole out in the front bumper for when it was twin turbo with a GTM kit. The kit was on the car for about 5,000 miles and then it was removed sold and I bought the car.









This is how I bought it...



I then bought a lip and cracked it on a turtle the very first day I mounted it along with cracking the bumper



Bought the Nismo V2 VIS replica from CZP and started to fit it.



Painted ready to mount



Mounted just needs some adjustment...





Need to buy a new NISSAN badge

 

Looking good

 

Thanks, I also bolted on a new stainless Z Speed under shroud and it just makes the bumper solid. Now I'm all aero in the front 0 aero out back lol.

 

Looks great - 1000% better.

 

Looks great man, personally I'd get the lip/canards in black

 

Look a lot better!

On the previous setup, I'm guessing the cutout was for more airflow? Would that even make a difference? Looks pretty heinous, even if there was an IC behind it.

 

I actually recomend plastirice for this, he can check it out and see if he likes it.

 

I noticed that this does not have the lines that usually continue from the DE hood. Does only the authentic V2 have the lines? I heard Shine makes the best fitment pieces and I am unsure if they have those lines as well, since I think it would look weird on my HR.

OP it looks great!

 

Lines around the emblem were filled in, it is a VIS replica.

 

Yeah I will try plastidip on the canards and the lip later sometime. I figured it'd be best to paint it all one solid color first then I can change things up later. I really like the all white look though!

 

Looks nice. I think some black would add some nice contrast.

When you say you "cracked it on a turtle" do you mean this literally?? Did you hit a turtle,lol??

 

Lol yes literally a turtle went under a truck in front of me and next thing you know I couldn't avoid it due to a curb to my left and ditch to my right. Turtle went flying and my bumper and lip cracked.

 

So you admit to animal slaughter?

 

Not sure where he went but he was probably ok since he was in his closed shell

 

Looks good man

 

 

So all white like it is or add some black?

 

A lot nicer get the Z badge instead of the nissan one.

 

^ this... since the mouth is black, should've kept the canards black/cf.
Also, I would've covered the emblem hole before paint. Looks good none the less.

EDIT: off topic but meet your mentor...

 

The black lip and canards really make it look good!! I'd paint em
