Default Rear Bumper Fins for Nismo Rear Bumper

As some of you may now i ordered the fins from NVD Autosport and they were a complete garbage. My cousin (Alex) and I work with Sheet metal and we have long been talking about adding making some sort of diffuser or fins to attach to the rear Nismo Bumper. Well after giving up hopes on the rear diffuser coming out and being disappointed with ordering the fins i felt like it was time to make my own.My cousin is the actual developer of this product. We are still in the process of perfecting it and the pictures are the first of its kind. As you can see they are not to perfection. these are made out of 24ga Galvanized steel. they are lightweight and durable. They were primered black. As you can see the paint is not perfect. there are a few things we are still working on to make it the perfect fin. In regards to the design, i think what you guys will like about this fin is that it does not require no modification to the bumper or plastic ( provided you install 4 or less fins). There are four rivets that attach the rear bumper to the plastic cover as seen in the picture. All you will have to do is unrivet them and insert the L section in between and rivet it back together.The other side of the fine slips onto the plastic. I hope to finish in the next couple of weeks. The actual finished fin will be made out of a material called Galvannealed which is Paintable and lightweight as well. I will be keeping you guys updated. I will be taking better pictures of the install as well. i know i will be getting flamed a lot.
With all this said, i hope to hear and get some feedback from you guys. If i get a group of interested buyers than great. Thanks in advance you guys!

Look nice, but metal attached to the plastic doesn't seem very sturdy to me.

Now if you could make up a housing to install the rear fog lamp on an 09+ Nismo, I'd be interested!

Good luck with your project

Thanks guys!..no its HKS Rep..
So fsr no issues at all. Driven the car pretty hard and no issues. We might be making aome in Aluminum as well, aluminum is a bit more expensive and is more delicate as well that is why we chose to do them out of galvanized for now. Aluminum does not rust but it Oxidizes ( similar to rust) which turns into almost the same color. Stainless steel material is about 2-3 times more expensive than Galvi and it weights a bit more.
