So the NISMO rear bumper replaces the stock spoiler? Can someone explain why please. I haven't read into the thread for a while, when it was first started no one knew and now it seems everything is available. So exactly how much is the rear bumper? The dealers here do not know anything about ordering these parts.

Nah it was just said that if you replace the rear bumper with a Nismo bumper, it is too aggressive to keep the stock wing. A Matter of opinion. That's all

Really? wow I think the NISMO rear bumper is the best part of the whole car. Well at least we know these pieces are obtainable now.

I know as of right now, no one has attempt to install the Nismo Rear bumper yet. This may be a silly question, but since the rear bumper sits out further than the stock, doesn't that mean the exhaust system needs to be longer?

From one time having a conversation with a Nissan Parts guy, he said that a 370z nismo exhaust system (not s-tune) the H-pipe is longer and will only fit on the Nismo z. So would this also means vise-versa, if someone were to switch out the rear bumper will need to get a Nismo Exhaust system? or else the exhaust will be too short?

Tough call, because some Nismo owners have gone with aftermarket exhausts already and most exhaust setups were test fitted on just 370z coupes. Now maybe with stock 370z coupe exhaust and Nismo rear it might look funny, but it is just letting you know to upgrade.

yeah true, I think they are the same in length, all of the length of the nismo comes from the front bumper, not the rear. My aftermarket exhaust is for a 370z/Nismo, they aren't different.

I love the rear bumper too, just saying the stock wing looks stubby when you have that fat Nismo bumper on. If you go wild on the rear bumper, you need to go wild on the wing, ie, add the Nismo wing with it.

thanks for the clarification! I would love to buy the Nismo exhaust system from you. (The H-Pipe) but I don't get my 370z till February. I'm thinking of going all out with the Nissan Nismo 370z Body kit (not s-tune)

I think i may actually be starting from the rear first and then back to the front. So I'm thinking of getting the Big Spoiler, Nismo Exhaust, then Rear Bumper, then front bumper and side skirts (or not).....then Nismo performance parts....

I wonder if the 370z will look weird with all Nismo body kits but without the the side skirts as the skirts somewhat blends in with the rear bumper.

If you are going to do the complete NISMO kit I suspect is much cheaper to buy a NISMO from the get go...

I know what you're saying, but since I'm gonna buy this car for a DD more than tracking. If it really comes down to having one thing over another first, I rather have a fully loaded 370z Sports + touring with NAV first then to upgrade the body kit and other performance parts later.

I completely agree.

Smile 370z Nismo Body Kit Body Panels

So i came across a place that's selling an aftermarket 370 Nismo body kit. I'm not the contact person, so don't try to ask me about it, I just stumbled across this info and like to share with other's that is interested to try. It's the cheapest way so far to convert a non-nismo to a nismo body kit.

They got 5 set in end of Feb. 2010, you can pre-order now for $1200 shipped, and after it will be $1500 shipped.

They Guarantee fitment ~ I dunno how nice since they won't post any pictures up yet.




I don't like how they left the fog light and didn't add the diffuser fins like the actual Nismo rear bumper.


Spoiler Only, No trunk
