besides the bumper itself (obviously), I know you'll need a new/different undertray I think as well. Not sure if there are any other small differences.

PS--that nismo undertray is $$$.

You will need a variety of brackets and pop rivets as well as the diffuser, the fender liners and bumper protectors. Total is about $1200-1500 with paint.

I think if you can get it for $1200 painted, it will be pretty good no?

Check out this thread. Go to the bottom to tjlaser's post. He's got the parts list and prices:

40th 370z front bumper

I'm seriously considering this too. I just need to find a good body/paint shop to get a quote from.

Ya depending on the shop that does the work and where you get the parts. The parts can be found for around 900-1000, figure another 200-300 for paint.

Guys - if you look at tjlaser's part list, without the diffuser, you are looking at over $1,500 in parts alone. The diffuser is another $964.

I'd say if you could get the job all done for $3k you'd be doing well. With tax and labor, it's probably more like $3,500.

Z1 motorsports has a nismo conversion package. check that out.

From Z1 no wing and no paint it's 3600 bucks.

You don't need the nismo undertray (lower splash shield) as the oem one can be used. The diffuser you're talking about is $324 and is required.

This is what I paid.

Bumper $524
Diffuser $324
Fender liners/protectors/brackets $500

I created this breakdown of the costs for everyone inquiring about the nismo conversion. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!

When you download the file, change the extension to .doc or .docx. It was too big for a word document so I changed it to PDF which allows for a bigger file size. You actually want to open the file with Word.

Thanks man, the nismo front makes a huge difference in looks imho. I wish I had gone that route originally, but you live and you learn and this was kinda fun because I got to track down all the parts myself lol.
