370z rear bumper

onefastz · 06-09-2010, 05:35 PM

I am a little undecided on what to do about my back bumper. I was rear ended last week, and am thinking about buying a new back bumper rather than repairing it. Should I buy the factory bumper and have it painted (already priced it at $600 including having it painted and installed) or buy an aftermarket one and have it painted? Any suggestions? Would an aftermarket bumper look fine if the rest of the car does not have a body kit or aftermarket parts? I want to stay $600 total or below. Here is a link to one I was looking at, its the N-Spec bumper. Nissan 370Z Rear Bumpers and Rear Aprons - Bodykitz

all about preference. I peronally love oem fit. But I went aftermarket due to me changing everything. There are a few rear bumpers out but there madddd pricy. Hotwheels looks good to me. Same site you were on.

Nismo?

I would definately get the Nismo one if I could get it $600 or below, but I know thats very unlikely.

i'm a fan of the stock bumper...that and the ones i want (amuse and zele) are rather expensive and would require a new exhaust kit lol. the nismo one is pretty cool, but I don't know if you can just buy it off the shelf...

check out some of the user albums, some folks here have some neat bumpers that might give you some ideas of what you may want.

The Nismo rear fascia is basically the same price as the stock non-nismo bumper. What costs extra is the plastic "fender protectors" and the rear lower, center bracket (optional). I got mine shaved and painted from Z1 for a great price.

No, the bumper was $3xx something. Paint and shipping will make it all add up though.
