I'm skipping DTM and going with Diamond Hills in Walnut. I'm feeling really good about this team. These guys = perfection.

Finally you got a shop you could trust. Hope everything works well

I like the 15/16 bumper. It's more functional, but if you are thinking of an Amuse front bumper then it's a toss up for me, but I'm a Nismo guy though!

Nismo bodykit with amuse spoiler?
(Photo cried to whomever)

carlitos_370z · 02-01-2016, 06:16 AM

I like both... but my question is... you are going to change the front bumper too? if not buy the Nismo... in my opinion to install the rear Amuse bumper you have change the front bumper too. When my Z was hit from the rear i was searching the new Nismo rear bumper but here on my Island is fcking hard to find parts for our Z

soo I Fix the OEM

So here is an update.

Dropped her off Feb 1.
Diamond Hills ordered parts Tuesday and Wed.
Parts included the 2015 Nismo Bumper. Nissan informed Fontana Nissan that it would arrive Tuesday this week. Everything arrived but the rear bumper. Checked with Fontana and they said it is now on backorder.
Sideskirts arrived.
Front conversion kit on order. No one has it. Backorder.

Not fun when your conversion hits some bumps on the road.

So the car waits. I am praying for some grace and the remaining parts arrive.

In the meantime - with cooltoy's help I came up with the decision to paint the car without the red trim and do this instead............It is not for everyone but I like it.

Zbrah · 02-12-2016, 02:39 AM

Are you keeping the type III spoiler Raf? You'd be the first with that combination, I wonder how it would look. And +1 for the white-out whiskers. I also like it in black but white looks clean too.

Thanks David. The inserts in PW looks great. Yes I'm keeping the type III. It should actually look better than the Nismo spoiler. I also can't see myself driving around with a big spoiler. Lol.

Oh ya --- big thanks btw!

Zbrah · 02-12-2016, 03:16 AM

All good Raf. I'm glad it worked out for everyone!

Hotrodz · 02-12-2016, 08:27 AM

Raf, great choice my friend, I'm not a fan of the red accents either. I love the stark and clean contrast of the black and white. You should have them paint your door handles white as well too and then do all your emblems in black. I can't wait to roll with you again when she is done!
