wideglideleon · 10-14-2015, 06:13 PM

Does anyone have the parts list for the rear end conversion?

LMBmikeZ · 10-15-2015, 10:19 AM

my body shop only needed the bumper and it fits fine

just don't forget to order the tow hook cover and then discover that they are currently back ordered

Call Z1 Ask for Jon! He can put everything together for you. Tell him Mixon sent you.

You will need:
Bumper Cover
New Splash shields
Tow hook cover (5 day backorder)
4th brakelight (butt plug cover - re-used my oem)
New center lower rear brace.

You can reuse all of your hardware and you will need to reuse license plate clips and license plate lamp assembly.

I did my front and rear conversion on mine. The gap isnt as bad as some make it seem... honestly I dont even notice it unless someone like yourself reminds me of it on the forum.

I did mine a little different:

I shaved all the emblems
I also used lexus gray metallic instead of OEM *more Pop*

Quick shots at the gas station:

New splash shields?

Yeah that keeps the trash from collecting in your bumper... I mean you could go without but even my 2013 nismo ones did not cover the whole bumper opening.

@bullitt5897, it's #TBT. When are you going throw up a video of yourself installing CF B-Pillar covers on your freshly painted car?

bullitt5897 · 10-15-2015, 10:10 PM

Don't get me started with that... They don't call me Magic Mike for nothing!

funny you ask for that!

next week my Z will be back from the body shop and it will have 09-14 front nismo with the rest '15+ Nismo

LMBmikeZ · 10-20-2015, 08:46 PM

If you look at the exhaust tips on my Z they are at least 3" short IMO….. gonna have to figure something out for that over the winter.

I noticed it today at the body shop…..

Anyone else with a non Nismo do the rear conversion and experience this????

I noticed an 09-14 Nismo exhaust seems to stick out farther on the conversions.

I've been thinking about this for a week now. The Nismo rear extends a couple inches so.....cat back exhaust time
