My car is relatively low and it slides under it. and if you get 4 1 by 8 pieces of wood to drive up on youd be golden. I have the carbon side blades that give me an issue since they are so low but whatever. 24in in 30 seconds its the coolest tool ive ever invested in and super safe and you can battery power it for the race track

Just some advice on the front bumper gaps; right stuff spray foam and fiberglass. You should be able to tape everything off, then use the expanding foam, sand and smooth out the shape you want, then fiberglass over that. Pop out the piece and you'll have your gaps filled. I've done it many times to fill gaps and it works perfectly.

subscribed!!! nice build man!

Seems like the issue isn't fitment, its the front bumper choice. The thread starter choose not to use the AIMGAIN front bumper - that is why there is a gap.

If you look at dom_zee's car (the baby blue AIMGAIN z34), you'll see what the front flare extends that far - its to match the length and slope of their front bumper

If you want to use that OEM front bumper with those flares, take it to a shop and have them chop off that forward section and custom a new attachment that matches the lines

o snap you are correct

time to buy an aimgain bumper

OptionZero · 01-19-2017, 12:19 PM

Wiggins had one stateside (local, too IIRC) - i never understood why the Op didn't just buy that and be done with it instead of fussing about fitment issues

leatherface24 · 02-15-2017, 12:04 AM

Any progress on this?

edzilla123 · 03-06-2017, 10:47 PM

So here is where it stands all done for the time being! ill post the progress later!

Love how the car looks

Awesome work!

Nice outcome...

Doesn't have the RWB feel but the end result is awesome none the less

WildWestDrift · 05-31-2018, 05:48 PM

I would like to bring this thread back to life;

what was the end result of the front bumper - front over fender fitment issue?

I would like to do the same kit myself without using the aimgain front bumper.

That’s an oem Nismo front bumper, not aimagain
