Another note, the non-nismo Zspeed undertray also DOES NOT properly fit. You can connect it to the bumper, but then it sags in the middle (the 3 center connectors cannot touch) or you can connect the 3 center connectors but then the bumper connector area is 1.5" above the bumper connection points.
We have a shield for the 15 Nismo now, We are using our original 370z aluminum shield but are including a kit to space the center down with nut inserts for the core support and spacers for that area as well pre attached to the shield, This allows it to be directly bolted to the core support area where the plastic push clips normally would go.

Any chance those of us who have the shield and did the conversion can purchase just the spacers???

Maybe they would sell this kit separately.

cool, thanks for the info. I'll call Joe when I do this kit. He's always really helpful. I hate to lose that under tray. That product is just a thing of beauty!
