Somewhat...

The bumper is a deal if it comes with all the parts...

The exhaust is too high to me if it's just the muffler...

Then again your in need...if this is something through insurance your making a killing!

Do the sellers have pictures...

yep i thought it was for the full exhaust but it ended up being just for the muffler.
And no, im buying these parts out of pocket so im looking around for a good deal. So rear bumper yes, muffler no.

If you look at bumpers there is no such thing as a "little scratch." To do it right the bumper must be prepared and painted.

I also think that $700 is absurd for a muffler. For $1,000 you can get a respectable cat back exhaust.

Ill post a pic of the "scratch" later although looking closer at the picture the seller sent me it looks like the bottom difusser is broken and not scratched.

As far as the muffler, your right but i do want an oem nismo exhaust so ill keep on looking

Do not know if the crack goes all the way through the bumper. This requires reinforce the back, fill, sand and paint.

Generally body shops avoid this type of work because it takes too many hours. And they can not guarantee integrity of the patch.

Yep i browsed around and saw that page but once u sum up the FULL bumper it comes out to $1k + which is a bit out of my range. I started looking for used ones and the one i posted here was the only one i coud find. Ill just have to sit tight and wait for one to come around i guess.

bufabric, the stock Nismo muffler should cost about $200-300 max. The midpipe and ypipe are exactly the same as stock Z. You only need the Nismo muffler. GL.

Brand new from Nissan, the muffler is over double that. I sold mine (in perfect shape) for close to $500. Also, the OP has a 2003 350Z, so the mid pipe and y pipe are not the same.
