Alright guys,

I spent my entire friday getting this prepared and making sure I had all the proper tools.

This was my first time and I think I did a great job. I saved myself anywhere from $200-400 at a body shop for installation and prep/fitment.

The total cost for this bumper was: $305 - I spent roughly $45 on other necessary tools such as the heat gun which cost $27 from harbor freight.

With the help of a friend, we managed to get the bumper on in around 5-6 hours. But we were moving very slow and being extremely cautious and also had multiple beers.

Here are some of the pics from the project. I might create a DIY soon for those interested...

Nah, the one from z1 is $779.25. I went with the nismo replica duraflex kit - N2 Bumper off ebay - $305 shipped in 4 days.

This was the only rear they had left when I spoke to the seller. But it turned out great!

Nice work there Nick !

I have a favor to ask, when you get a chance and working the lip, can you take a progressive build / DYI and post up? Show measurements/drilling of holes , what comes with it from a standpoint of hardware (if any?) the instructions page (if any), gap issues / overall fit impressions etc.

If not much (more ) to ask can you take a picture or just measure and provide the clearance distance ground to lip of left or right side extreme and center.

I believe you have stock 18" and no lowering as of yet.

As I live in Colorado there are just too many issues that could cause a "lip rip" thus I am trying to decide if I want to go this route, or something less deep.

Greatly appreciate the assist.

Mine is 21.9-ish. I am only 2mi from the freeway, but there are about 320 stop lights in between, and then a few when I get off at downtown (not to mention garbage traffic).

Must be nice!

Hahaha 320 stoplights. What's sad is that I know you aren't kidding..

I drive from Raintree/101 to Broadway/Dorsey in Tempe everyday. Don't know what your route is. But mine is just straight and 75-80mph haha..

Motorcycle cop today gave me the "nod" and a little thumbs up to my car today.. Love that..

I wish, even at 5:30-5:40am I can't go 70mph for very long, MAYBE to Bethany Home.

I go from El Mirage and Olive to the 101, 101 South to the 10, 10 to 7th Ave down to Jefferson.

The 10E is a disaster every morning, so 75% of the time I have to get off at 75th and take Van Buren or other surface streets down to 19th Ave.

If only the buses started at 3 or 3:30 in the afternoon, I wouldn't have to drive but to the bus stop every morning (Glendale and the 101).
