Default where to buy japanese spec nismo v3 front bumper from?

Is there anywhere you can get an authentic sidemarkerless nismo v3 front bumper from? I am thinking of getting one cause my nismo bumper has a little damage that is bugging me. I would also obviously like to remove the sidemarkers in the process.

Anyone know of a place?

Contact Scott Vanderheide @ Fontana Nissan. Great guy, he should be able to help you out. Even Z Speed that sells the master cylinder carries the bumper.

Wouldn't it be more "cost effective" to get the side marker holes filled in and then just respray the bumper? Or are you just hell bent on getting a jdm bumper?

Your V3 bumper however damaged it is...is worth money to track junkies, and drift wannabes!

Yup your 100% correct... it's considerably lighter than the poly or whatever OEM is.

oh crap all japanese spec v3 bumpers are fiberglass? even the plain 350z nismo versions in japan are fiberglass? damn i guess ill pass

the damage on mine is minor but its enough to warrant a repaint and v3 bumpers arent too expensive so i figured i might keep the original one for a spare on track days n wat not

I have a 380RS bumper not an JDM Nismo. Contact Mark regardless.
