For the '07-'08 Nismo V3 Bumper













This next picture makes me want to paint the gunmetal matte black to match the door handles & rims.







I'l bring it up when I take the car in for an estimate.

Whats your opinions? Gunmetal with the Carbon fiber or Matte black and the Carbon fiber?

 

What are you going to do about the reflectors? Get a new bumber without them or fill them in. It's gonna look a little weird don't you think?

 

They are going to be removed. Having plastic cut and welded in place and then edges filled and smoothed. Will repaint the entire bumper. I may also paint all the gunmetal matte black.

Job will be professionally done! Nooo worrries man. I have wanted these canards since the day I bought my Z! It will be done right.

 

Yea, you have to mold over the reflector..

 

Chris - I'd def. do the lip in a matte or satin black. Will tie the rest of the stuff together. I'd also look and see what they will charge to spray the side lower 'diffusers' (under the sideskirts) at the same time

Use 'em well, and thanks!

 

actually, I still like it with the sides/rear/lip in the oem grey too

 

from what vendor did you get the set of canards ?

 

I would keep it the k11, the color looks like carbon so it will match nicely.

 

Nice, can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Thanks again Adam! I will defin use 'em well



Going for a similar look. But I want mine to be blacked out. Will look badass. The gunmetal will be painted matte black i think. The gunmetal just isn't going to flow with the look I am trying to create!

I will send out my headlights and have them blacked out and modded as well. Door handles will also be painted matte black.

Not sure If I will be able to get the car painted before the holidays!!! My woman would kill me.. Time to start buying gifts

The MCR carbon fiber canards came early for me thanks to Adam @ Z1..... I was not expecting a set in the states Was a spontaneous purchase....

Thanks for the comments.

I agree Adam & Rob. The K11 looks great.

 

that's the great thing about winter in Clifton Park - it started like 2 months ago, and doesn't end for a long time, so you have plenty of time to pay for paint (I went to school in Albany, so I know the winter months all too well!)

 

Very good choice... Frankly one of the best items ever made for the Nismo.

 

I'd love to have these for my nismo since I track it often, but don't want to pay $600+ for them.

 

They are alot more then $600+ More like closer to $800 shipped

 

The price is way high for four carbon fiber pieces.

 

YUMMY! Good stuff Z1!

 

MCR is like ARC! Not cheap...

For me I chose to do the MCR canards first over the ARC HR combination catch can. Thats to come later on.

 

I found them for $660, but forgot the website

 

Finding them for a certain price, and delivering them, are 2 different things When it comes to this specialty stuff, we don't claim to be the cheapest out there. I'm ok with that. I just like being able to offer such pieces to our customers who want them.

Many months ago, we were a little under $700 for them, but prices change currency fluctuates, they get shipped in differently (air vs boat for example), so prices adjust accordingly.

I wish they were cheaper...we would stock more, and sell more. But, MCR is a small firm, that only does a very limited amount of products, all of which are hand done, and they charge accordingly. These are the types of parts that previously would not have been offered to US customers at all. I remember years ago when the only way to get, for example, a Zero Sports part (Subaru) was to walk into their office in Japan. Same went for Spoon. Many of the Japanese firms don't really have a global mindset. They are small, boutique oriented firms, that focus on just catering to their local clientelle. It's just a different business model that people here are generally used to.
