I was at Les Schwab today playing with their customize your car wheel/tire program...

You've put quite a bit into the car. I'm not into the NISMO front bumper and side skirts though.

Rear bumper installed today.

The fit is awesome. Install was a breeze, and I did not have to remove my rear wheels. Just jacked it up one side at a time to get access to the clips and screw in the fender liner, then put it on some wood blocks to help lift the vehicle up higher since I am so tall. Better on the back that way. Only took a few hours to do the job, and it was done right with no damage or broken clips.

Nissan messed up and ordered me the front NISSAN emblem instead of the rear so I couldn't put it on. I might try to install my original one from my old bumper, if I can remove it nicely withuot damaging it. We shall see. If not I will have to order the rear emblem.

What about with the Nismo rear bumper then?

ZPirate · 05-20-2011, 09:32 AM

TJ the rear bumper looks awesome too! I like it with the OEM spoiler. The Nismo spoiler is the one thing about the Nismo body kit that to me looks somewhat over the top.

I'm really liking those Nismo side skirts. I may have to get some of those.

Very nicely done!

Great progress man on the blue Nismo and hats off for doing everything yourself

Beautiful 300ZX Turbo in the garage, you are making me miss my old one even more.

Man, what a nice day today in the Pacific Northwest! Rain tomorrow, so I thought I would take some pics...

They dont produce it in Monterey Blue, but I suppose you could of had one vinyl wrapped - not sure which would come out cheaper.
