Vicrez front bumper - polyurethane

Jayhovah · 01-18-2018, 09:11 AM

Saw this while surfing around last night... haven't seen it mentioned in this community. Probably not for me, but seems like a nice style that some folks would be in to!

From what I've seen they're pretty indestructible. That being said, they are ridiculously heavy as well.

The last one I saw, they had folded it in half and shipped it that way. The dude who received it couldn't get it back to proper shape

A Nismo variant.

Folded in half? Geez, how does that even happen??!! Was it returned?

I have a friend who ordered a vicrez or KBD bumper for the 350z, as indestructible as they may be, i'm concerned fitment is gonna be crappy and that the shop is either going to say screw it and not deal with it (this is an insurance claim) or they're going to take it on and end up having to do a lot of prep work to make it fit right and end up charging my friend a butt load of money for it.

Anyone have experiences with these?

i dont personally have experience with the KBD stuff but i heard that they fold it up to ship it and you just have to warm it up (i think) and it pops right back into its designed shape. This guy on instagram @mike_myke swears by it and has done some crazy stuff to his bumpers. looks like it fits right to me.

pretty cool front bumper though

I was looking to buy that bumper but I ended buying the Amuse front bumper from Shine Auto... I dont want to deal with problems in this moment of my life looool!

Anyway looks good... For me is the 350z Nismo front bumper for the 370z...

BTW I see the post of the front bumper folded in half on Facebook

I really like how it finishes the lines of the car, even a bit simpler than the 9-14 Nismo's lines. The KBD one looks a bit awkward at the end opening.

The folding and heating the urethane back to shape does make me wonder if it sags long term. Spend the same, if not more time and labor, you'll probably wish you just paid a few hundred more for something better to start.

Was strongly considering this bumper until I finally snagged a deal of a lifetime on an authentic Nismo front end that came painted and the lower diffuser! I saw a 350z rocking this bumper a while ago and it looks indestructible as a few people have mentioned. Fitment wasn’t too bad but from reviews it might be a hit and miss. This bumper also comes with a flat bottom diffuser if I remember correctly.
