Does anyone make a replica? I know you can buy the brake ducts but I like the whole thing (grille included). If there isn't a replica yet, why not?

besides the brake ducting, what's different from the oem nismo front fascia?

dmhenderson 11-13-2012 06:54 PM

Now I have to go look at mine. It looks different like there's extra "stuff" going on in the grille area but it could just be the two-tone paint job. Now I'm 2nd guessing myself.

I think you need to walk around your nismo a little more, the picture you posted is the same as the one on your car right now.


Only different it's not black

/\ that looks damn good btw. :tup:

What are the part numbers for those vents and where can I buy them? Do I have to buy them direct from Nissan? Rusty's thread is a bit long.

Edit: Also, you're right. The paint job was throwing me a bit. It just has vents. Those would look fantastic on my car.

99% sure you need to order direct from nissan for the nismo brake ducts. Z1 MIGHT be able to source them for you but you'd have to call them.

no idea on part numbers.

dmhenderson 11-13-2012 07:07 PM

I've used Z1 before. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Any idea on what the pricepoint is? I'm cringing because "lol OEM nissan".

get ready to bend over cause until someone makes a replica, you're going to be looking at $6xx dollars iirc. Still, it's real dry carbon so for me, if/when I need braking cooling, then they'll be going on the car.

Let us know what you find out. I'm interested in getting a set of these as well.

PM Rusty, that GM Nismo is his.

$600 plus professional install. Ok that'll be my spring project.

I refuse to believe this is true. Can't we just buy the ducts and have a body shop fit them? If the price tag is ~2k that's too much for what I'd get out of it. Honestly, I just liked the look of the front bumper with those vents installed

GaleForce 11-13-2012 07:31 PM

You can cut the bumper yourself. Don't need a Bodyshop to do that. Measure twice, cut once...

dmhenderson 11-13-2012 07:34 PM

See I used to beleive that was the case but after paying uh...$900 to correct my headlight catastrophe, I'm inclined to let a professional shop do these sorts of things moving forward.

I'm thinking of picking up an old 240z I can restore where I won't have a stroke if I botch something.

My main question is "do I need the stillen brake kit and 123182318281niner other parts" to make this work because if so I'll just forget about it.
