Shoot us an e-mail with your address and lets see what shipping to you is. Maybe we can help on shipping cost. A business address is normally a much cheaper route.

For those who did the front conversion and did not get the OEM DRL or the EVO-R DRL, what did you do with the empty space? Just left it blank?

cooltoy · 12-10-2015, 02:19 PM

Yes.

There was talk about someone making a blank insert, but I am not sure if that ever happened.

Hatsuongmai · 12-10-2015, 05:40 PM

Cool...I wish someone make a blank insert for this. It should be cheap to make.

cooltoy · 12-10-2015, 08:40 PM

It is discussed somewhere in this thread.

I definitely will but I'll let you know now I'm not planning on buying it until spring

I've read this whole thread a couple of times and I didn't see any blank insert talk mentioned. I've heard a lot of talk about putting mesh in those spots, which is probably what I'm going to do if I don't get the EvoR DRLs

cooltoy · 12-10-2015, 09:42 PM

I guess they were talking about making the red pieces in CF and taking the mold of those.

Another option maybe is to have the body shop fill the holes in.

I might try fiberglassing them shut when I do my bumper

Any update? I just sold my Amuse front and ordered my nismo front yesterday

Quick question if anyone can answer. I know you can't use the older Nismo bumpers along with a license plate relocation kit. That still true for this bumper?

No updates yet. The shop said they should have it all done by end of week or possibly beginning of next week. Im having them color match the red accent pieces and fill in the badge holes as well.

You can order the moweraxle kit, that's what I plan on doing.
