2015 Nismo Bumper on 2009 Sport possible?

PainlesShadow · 07-20-2018, 06:22 PM

@axmea? yeah thats what I did, looks better without the washer parts. Actually my build is based off your car hahahaha. I used it for inspiration, My own question is the shop that is doing the work has said that they cant fix the bumper with the crash absorber fitted and have mounted the crash sensor to the bumper. My question is should I buy the Nismo foam absorber because ive heard removing it can void your warranty in an accident (Australia is a baby country)......

All done

I am in love once again!

Interesting paint scheme. Would love to see a few more angles and from a distance.

I do not understand why you cannot use your OEM foam. We've never had to replace ours in the States. Please post some pics.

Dont worry I was slightly buzzed when I replied previously, the guys doing the conversion have relocated the crash/airbag sensor to the bumper or something that stopped the bumper fitting while it foam absorber was mounted and they were hesitant to try and modify it. Its all fitted now and will post pictures very soon. Looks amazing

I just went through 75 pages cannot get a clear answer on the rear conversion, is it necessary to purchase the rear splash/fender liner guards? I also understand we need a new lower bracket support? Are these the only 3 parts I need to make it mount and fill in the gap in the wheel well

These the are part numbers I have for these 3 parts.
85249-1EA2A Lower reinforced bumper support
76748-6GA0A Right side fender liner
76749-6GA0A Left side fender liner

Also for people asking for more of a OEM look on the front DRL’s. I found some DRL’s off of a Renault Kolios that was similar in size and filled/molded the gap to fit flush.

Here’s my semi DIY thread a couple years back... not sure why I never posted here

You don't need the liners and the bracket for the rear bumper. The bracket is for the older Nismos. You will need a tow hook cover for the rear.

Perfect thank you sir!
