snapping · 05-27-2010, 12:28 AM

Hey has anyone with a nismo bumper had the valence area warp down(area basicly touching the stock exhaust that attachs to the bracket with 1 clip)? i tryed searching and didnt see anyone mention it but mine is starting to sag on one side. I took some pictures but there terrible so ill try again tomorrow when its brighter out.

Have you had the dealer look at it to see if its covered under the warranty?

his nismo bumper wasn't from the factory, he has a base+sport according to his sig.

I'll look at mine better but I haven't noticed anything and I'm pretty good at seeing crap like that

You are correct sir, but they said if it was an oem bumper they'd fix it but it's not...I have paperwork to prove it is so I just have to take that paperwork In and hopefully they'll fix it then. Apparently the heat from my exhaust heats up the area causing It to sag :/

Just took a look at mine, no issues with warping, but I also don't have a FI exhaust either.

Don't have the FI exhaust yet, i actually think that fact that the cans will be further away will make this less of a problem for me...idk i think mine is just defective or something...hopefully i can get this solved quickly.

Don't notice anything in the rear but I do notice a warping of sort int the front just left of the driver's side head light just under the hood line. I thought I was seeing things but yeah there is a slight warp there. I don't know if it was caused by me closing the hood or what. ( one time it didn't shut all the way and instead of opening it back up and dropping it I pushed down on it to close shut )
