Rear ended Nismo

I have a 2013 sport, was rear ended a couple nights ago. Figured I'd get the newer nismos rear bumper but concerned it will look goofy with the stock side

Default Rear ended Nismo

I have a 2013 sport, was rear ended a couple nights ago. Figured I'd get the newer nismos rear bumper but concerned it will look goofy with the stock side skirts. Anyone seen it done or have any pics of a stock z with a nismo rear?

Thanks!

Looks fine, I saw a Z at the track recently, base model with nismo unpainted rear bumper. Looked fine. He was lowered so that may have helped.

i disagree . . . the 15-16 Nismo squares off the rear and also extends out a bit more

the Z's rear end is already fat enough, without some skirts to make it flow i dont like it

are you planning to get skirts in the future . . . ?

otherwise, stock replacement for me

You'll have to get your muffler tips extended as well.

It will look OK IMO but I agree with the guys it's better with nismo sides
