Default new owner 2008 350z nismo (wrecked)

Ok so I bought a wrecked 2008 350z nismo edition with low miles. But I have some problems with my exterior...

1) Rear bumper fascia is wrecked, I mean is cut in half and some other damage.
2) Front bumper fascia is missing.

Only thing left are the side skirts in excellent condition.

I've been searching for this items all over the internet but they are very expensive. So my question is: Would a regular front bumper fascia and rear bumper fascia 07-08 (base, enthusiast, touring, grand touring) fit my nismo?

Thanks for your advices.

Pics first.
2nd I wouldn't put regular body parts on a Nismo because it's a nismo.
3rd you should of done research for parts before you bought it.
4th the body is still the same so I'm pretty sure yes it would fit.

Or just get aftermarket/replica parts since oem is out of the budget.

Problem with replica is that the fitment can be terrible.

Please wait patiently and order the real deal parts. Its a Nismo. Parts are expensive, but if you go putting different things on it the value of it is basically nothing bc it isnt a Nismo anymore.

On a wrecked car, even OEM isn't going to fit right. Assuming the OP knows his bodywork or someone who does, aftermarket kits shouldn't be much of a hurdle. I'm no pro, but I've had numerous aftermarket body kits over the years on my Z, most needing simple cut and re-glass adjustments.

Car is already wrecked it has no value. Might as well just put whatever he wants on it now.

Post some photo's and I'm in agreement with others, I wouldn't go putting pattern parts on a Nismo, you'll just devalue it.

Wrecked or not its a Nismo. Even if it has a salvage title a real Nismo is worth more than a Touring, Enth, etc. Regaurdless of how the title is.

^^^ I can't speak for the market in Louisiana... But here in SoCal a 07-08 HR Z Touring/Enthusiast/etc. with low miles and a clean title would easily match the price/value of a salvage-titled Nismo.

Try taking a wrecked car for trade in or selling a wrecked car.
