NISMO RC front bumper

HKYStormFront

oh no man, don't get me wrong. i was just trying to find out who put it up on their photobucket. i've got no problem with people sharing my pictures, quite the opposite. i'd just prefer they use my website (which has a handy share button) to do it since it brings traffic to my site

The Stillen ducting kit is made to work with the non Nismo bumper. They will not directly work with the oem Nismo ducts. I think you have to make your own hose kit to use these ducts and im not sure Nissan has a hose kit for public sale either.

Ok I shaved my front (and rear) hamburgers off just fine for the EVO-R emblems but the headlight disaster was... well it was a thing.

dic-k-ing (this is a filtered word???) up the front bumper would be more expensive than replacing a pair of headlights so I'll probably use my guys at D&V who work on lambos and like doing this kind of stuff plus they don't mind letting me hang around while they do their thing.

Someone on the forums pointed me to D&V and I will literally never take my car anywhere else for custom stuff/bodywork (although they won't mess with your headlights).

Also, they're not exactly "close". I live in Germantown, MD and D&V is in Sterling, VA. It's a good hour plus drive each direction - but so worth it.

The grille is not going to be something easily had. That grille shown in the first post does not even exist anymore on THAT exact car. The NISMO RC shown in that image was pulled apart and redone to meet Grand-AM specs. Many of the parts shown in the original media pictures of the RC have either been changed or completely scrapped.

Like all other NISMO RC components, getting them will take an act of Congress and most likely deep pockets to get as Japan does not easily release those parts to just anyone...Not event to Nissan North America.

As far as the CF Ducts go, there has been discussion by a few parties who have looked into reproducing them. No ETA or final word on pricing.

Thanks for weighing in. I'll put the idea back on the shelf for now as you're the authority on the subject. My girlfriend will be pleased.

i'm pretty sure doran racing was talking about making some along with their uber-awesome UCA's. might want to shoot BJ (Dwnshft) a pm and let him know you are interested in a set if they ever go to market with them. knowing what kind of market there is, even if it's for a one-time-limited-run production, can never hurt. i think they were also going to sell the ducting kit as well which included a bracket that goes onto the spindle to hold the end of those ducts.

Not crazy about the back but that front profile is just pure sex.
