Carbon Fiber Nismo Front Bumper

Nismo221 · 02-05-2011, 07:50 PM

Im thinking of trying to carbon fiber wrap the, i guess you would call it, grille on the front bumper of my nismo. But I kind of want to see what some people think of the idea.

CF is for weight reduction. If you wrap the bumper I'm CF then you're just adding weight.

no im talking about skinning it in really carbon fiber. And it would not add that much wieght.

if you want to just decorate it like how i (and many others) did the A-Pillars you can get some 3M DiNoc from dave here:

Carbon Fiber Gear: Carbon Fiber is the New Black

just make a simple template, clean the area and apply. if you dont like it, pull it off.
since it's got a dry carbon look (matte) it should look pretty sharp in that area.
