Oh nothing. Just more work. When they did the bumper the first time they used a lot of putty on it. When my nephew stripped the paint down he dug into some of it. So I had to block the primer out and reprime it. Fender is prepped for paint. Just have to sand bumper in the morning

I can't say for sure. The one 350z bumper I used was a vis. I heard shine is good but pricey.

Travis - I think an N3 would look better with your car because it matches the year and the hood? and I have to buy an N2 or i'm going to explode - http://www.octanemotorsports.com/Nis...duct_info.html - I like poly better - my personal experience with both has led me to the conclusion that if something can shatter into 4000 peices it will - and poly just folds like rubermaid -

fwiw travis since your car is black - you could even get away with leaving the bottom lip portion unpainted and any bends or scrapes wont even effect it at all - I had a front lip on my supra made out of this stuff and it was like a floppy rubbermaid piece that would never die - i loved it, i also before, had a carbon fiberglass lip.... that was redicuoluus and lasted 30 minutes.................

I REALLY like the ver3, but i am gettin ING v2 side skirts and they are kinda squared off so i dont think i would flow good together..... oooooh i see what you are saying..... yeah wouldnt look good

Travis, this may just be me but IMO put your money into shiet that actually affects the performance of the car. It already looks good out of the box lol. To each his own though and I'm delicately not bashing on people that do appearance work to their cars but I'm purely function over form. It all depends on what YOU want out of YOUR car though. Just food for thought.
