That's just a bumper cover made to look like '15+ Nismo Z34 - but built to fit Z33. They can be found on Fleabay.

Does NOT make it a Nismo. Even insinuating as such is heresy.

Looks fine, but then you posted it in the 350Z NISMO section. 🤡🤣

Can't really say I am a fan of the v4? It looks very busy on a stock body 350z. Needs sides, fenders, wing, aggressive spec'd wheels etc etc to complete the look.

Agreed, Brian sells the original version of this kit, and while it has really good fitment I don't think it suits the stock body of this car. Looks a little try hard to me. On his car I like it but he has a lot going on.

And that, folks, is the understatement of the year.

Lol, true that. You know what I mean tho, I have a lot changed in my car but mine is all subtle, polar opposite if you will.

We all have our own tastes, as long as the da_cheif is happy with his mods, all that matters. I try to keep my cars more classy even conservative, if you will, with hints of aggression here and there yet it will never be to everyone's liking.

Some people do appreciate things like that, I've done a lot to my car even some things others wouldn't like. In the end I'm not building a car to appeal to the masses, it's more for those that appreciate fine art lol.

I always tell them that their opinion will matter when they begin forking over their credit cards for the mods on my vehicle. Until then, move on. Simple as that.

Valid point I guess, however there are some things I wouldn't do even if they paid me to do so. Gotta have some standards lol

No need to be unhappy, many in the world do not get to live 1/8 the time you have. Being poor is all relative as well.
