Yes you can order a V3 bumper without the side reflectors. You will need to get a price Quote on one. Get a couple good estimates on the damage. Make sure they factor in shipping for the Nismo bumper. Both versions will need to be shipped!

I agree with you! The JDM version is the only way togo.

Being the accident is his fault. You have the right to choose your own repair shop. Get a couple estimates and they will just cut you a check. What you do after that nobody cares.

You will only have the amount they issue you. So if you come up short then you will be paying the differance.

I don't know about the V3, but doesn't the JDM version without the reflectors also have the extra fender flares? Just make sure before you order.

You cant order the JDm bumpers that has no reflectors. I tried. fender flairs are add ons and not connected with the JDM bumper.

You can order the V3 JDM bumper! Just contact a vendor here on the forum and they will hook you up.

Wouldn't the flare on the bumper be a bit of a problem? To me, it looks like the flare on the bumper is already molded into it.

After a closer inspection, you may be right. It seems like a PITA to get a JDM front bumber just to lose the reflectors. More than likely the JDM version is going to cost a lot more than the regular version.

Well worth it IMHO! Look how clean and sexy those lines are without the retarded side reflective markers!

My car will soon have this look.

I don't believe there is a large cost differance. I researched this awhile back but I have forgotten the pricing.



Pure WIN!

The JDM version is roughly 3 times as much as a regular one. $1425 just to lose some reflectors is a little over the top just to get a "cleaner" look when its hardly even noticeable.

Research deeper!!!! Thats for the entire kit!!. All he needs is the bumper!

Now if you want to spend Krazy cash you could pickup the Novum V3 front bumper!

But if all you need is the V3 front bumper contact a vendor for the best price. I think I had found one for around $750-$850 but don't quote me on it.. Not to mention that this was months ago.

you cannot buy the JDM spec V3 bumper unless you have a VIN for the car in Japan...and those are very hard to come by as there simply were not alot of them sold

a full V3 front bumper with all the trimmings necessary for it to be complete and to install it on the car is well over $1000

that's for a US spec bumper BTW ^

as far as it being worth it, that's debatable, like most things one can buy

Cheaper to just have the markers removed and smoothed over.

Sad part is..... Its prolly cheaper to get an MCR hood then a JDM V3 bumper! lol

I have seen MCR hoods for $1100-1300
