Zele front aero bumper for Nismo?

jhp3 · 10-25-2010, 11:01 PM

I really love the looks of Zele's Z34 Front Aero Bumper and want to replace the stock front bumper on my Nismo with the Zele. Has anyone done this before? What installation changes would be necessary from mounting the Zele Bumper on a stock Z? I'm ready to buy right now but need to know compatibility with the Nismo. Assuming this is doable, my Magnetic Black Nismo bumper will soon be for sale.

Dibs on your Nismo bumper if you put it up for sale, lol.

The Zele Bumper is OEM fit... simply remove the extra dust shields the nismo has and it will mount up perfectly...

I know I am the only person on here running their full kit.

okay, now then, serious question, how well do you think the lines will work with just the zele front bumper, and the nismo body kit elsewhere? i'm not sure if it'll look weird or not.

I think it will look great, but if it doesn't, I'll have a great excuse to move up to the Mazda 3. Seriously, though, the Zele bumper is rather conservative compared to some other aftermarket bumpers I've seen, and is a much cleaner (and less busy) design than the original Nismo bumper. I love my nismotic , but I've felt that its front end was its weak styling link. I'll post pics when the project is completed and see what our forum members think. (I'll hold on to the original nismotic bumper in case I've lost my mind in doing this, but it will be fun to do something unique anyway).
