You can try going to a auto body shop and see if they can order the parts for you at a discounted price. Worth a shot, good luck.

2015 NISMO 370Z Front Fascia Kit

It looks like it has everything but the LED's and emblems.

I was asked a few days back what is needed for the rear conversion. In my opinion - just the bumper and the tow cover. Everything else can be taken from your old bumper.

There is a small gap between the bottom of the bumper and the non Nismo arch liners but Its very small and personally I wont be adding the arch liners.

I think you need a pre 2015 Nismo wing to make it perfect.

too tall · 04-21-2016, 11:20 AM

I've been thinking about the wing. Possibly a carbon duckbill of early Nismo. I dont want to imitate 2015 exactly, just body styling wise to me it is exactly what I want.

One of the main other reasons is fitment. I'd like to be able to return the car to stock if i chose to sell the parts off. So any spoiler has to use the OEM location points.

There will be a gazillion holes and the duckbill will not cover/use all of these holes. Work will be required to plug what you will not use if you decide to go with the DB spoiler.

Here's how mine came out. Done.

Looking good!!
Do you have any close up pics of your FI exhaust? How many inches are the tips tucked into your Nismo bumper?

It is tucked in there pretty good so it needs a longer tip running about 1.5 to 2 inches (maybe more from the top because of the angle. The strange thing is on BeemaaZ car, his FI exhaust hangs out just right. I don't get why. When I had the regular bumper, it stuck out just the right amount.

Pre 2015 OEM NISMO uses sport spoiler holes.

I had been having browse of your build thread earlier.

You got any plans to fit any DRL into the bumper?

Not anytime soon. I like the black and white contrast right now. Although there are many options out there to make a one-of/custom set, what I have seen from Amazon, Ebay, and theretrofitsource.com look awful. I will wait until the right kind of lights come out.

Here's a few of mine with the older Nismo wing (not OEM but a seibon CF replica)

too tall · 04-21-2016, 02:20 PM

That looks sexual. I'd like a half carbon version of that

cooltoy · 04-21-2016, 02:38 PM

What do you mean by half carbon version?

too tall · 04-21-2016, 02:39 PM

The blade in carbon, the support painted white.

There is a black one for sale in the classified section, you can paint the bottom part white.

If you can get it for around $700 shipped, it would be a great deal.
