Has anyone done any dealing with a company called N-spec? they have and entire "nismo style" body kit for $800 saying that they have made it cheeper by using fiberglass reinforced plastic; this sounds really shady to me

Seems shady to me.
The nismo body kit is not as simple as plug-and-play for the base models

If you're really in love with the nismo kit, I say just buy the nismo... for me, I went in the touring direction.

Even if they are talking about the s-tune nismo bodykit that is still to cheap to be any good.

Here is the real cost on the factory nismo front bumper only.

I have hyperlinked the part numbers for easy reference to the Nissan Parts Zone website.

1. 62026M 370Z FASCIA FRONT BUMPER LOWER $342.74F2026-1A47A(Diffuser)

2. 62050 370Z FASCIA-FRONT BUMPER $573.14
FBM23-1A47H (Nismo front bumper with lip)

3. 62066 370Z PROTECTOR-FRONT BUMPER $98.25F2064-1A30A(Front fender liner to diffuser attachment)

4. 62066 +A 370Z PROTECTOR-FRONT BUMPER $98.25
F2064-1A30B (Front fender liner to diffuser attachment)

5. 62066 +B 370Z PROTECTOR-FRONT BUMPER $98.25
F2064-1A30C (Front fender liner to diffuser attachment)

6. 62066 +C 370Z PROTECTOR-FRONT BUMPER $98.25
F2064-1A30D(Front fender liner to diffuser attachment)

7. 62675 370Z BRACKET-FRONT BUMPER $84.34 x (2) =
F2042-1A30A (Bumper to diffuser attachment) $168.68

8. 62010R 370Z RIVET $4.10 x (6) =
U0RVT-1A007 (Fender liner to bumper attachment) $24.60

9. F3845-1A30A (Front inner wheel well liner for LH) $54.13
F3844-1A30A (Front inner wheel well liner for RH) $54.13

10. 01553-09321 (370Z CLIP) $.84 x (20) =(Bumper àfenderàdiffuseràlower splash shield) $16.80

Total cost without labor and paint: $1627.22

The oem lower splash shield from the base/sport/touring works with the nismo diffuser you just have to secure it with a couple of rivets. This is from personal experience.


F2064-1A30A


F2064-1A30A



Keep in mid this is only for the front. Rear and sides require additional parts*

Seems about right, heard it was at least 1.5k for just front end conversion

2 things here...

1) Knock-off stuff is horrible. I don't have anything against people saving money, but when a company straight copies anothers design it only hurts the industry.

2) FRP isn't great on a street car. It tends to crack instead of flex. I'll never own an FRP bumper for that reason.
