2015 Nismo Bumper on 2009 Sport possible?

martin82

It will be produced by a forum vendor as soon as I receive it and have more updates I will let you guys know!

Martin when is your estimated delivery date? Going to test fit? Interested to know if those under mounts are needed or not.

I would guess it's shipping fedex ground so almost a week or so to the west coast.

I can make the front wing pieces out of CF or any laminate for that matter. I will have to see how they are attached, convert the wing pieces into plugs and make molds. Basically I will make complete CF replacements, either with prepreg 1k plain weave or 2k twill CF, raw or clear gel coated,etc..Not wrapped or overlayed originals parts. I'm going to be ordering the '15 NISMO kit in a few weeks from Juan in the vendor section for my own car and also going to prototype new items with them using my Z. This sounds like something I can make relatively easy. If there is enough interest you guys won't have to worry, I'll just make them. Pricing would be up in the air until I can see the original in person and see how they mount exactly. Anyways,not trying to thread jack,cheers'

Cool deal, I can't wait to see the finished product. You can kind of see how the red pieces clip in with the Z1 pic above.

Yeah no worries, I see the receiving mounts but it still is always better to have the actual insert (which I bet you know already but either way from the looks of that pic, I most likely will be doing a direct clone/copy of the originals and a "Race" version too. For me actions speak louder than words so lets just wait 'til I can get my hands on a set of red pieces/winglets

Jordo!

Any chance you might make some FRP ones as well?


And an open question to everyone: Has anyone figured out a solution for the DRL's other than buying the very expensive Nissan parts?

Could something be done using LED strips?

EDIT: Canard type inserts is a great idea!

I could but the factory ones would probably be better for the price, that's the only reason I suggested carbon, but making a DRL insert like a vent or canard would work too.

There is also no reason the CF pieces couldn't just be doubled sided taped in place?

Well, if they can be bolted on rather than double sided taped it would give the end user more security/piece of mind knowing they can't just "fly off". This is only because they would be replacement parts, not covers.

From the photoshop thread. Cooltoy working magic on my Z. The request was the new bumper CF inserts instead of DRL's and The red pieces being CF Twill pattern. I'm thinking evo-r side blades will go perfect with this fascia.


All praises be to cooltoy

My bumper and red inserts will be delivered Thursday! I love that Z1 is in Georgia. I'll need to source the other "mounts" though. I'm debating trying to wrap CF, or just have them painted gloss black when I get the rest of the bumper done.
