No need to replace it.

Take it to a local body shop. That's definitely repairable.

They should be able to heat the dented area, it will expand back out about 90% or more. Then sand, plastic fill, finish sand and repaint.
I've had it done on my BMW, cost me around 250.00.
Perhaps they can even only paint the bottom lip portion, rather then the hole bumper. That will save you some money.
But I guess an hour prep/repair, 80-100. Paint 100.00 materials, 50.

250- is fair.

Never let ANYONE drive the Nismo. That includes girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives, parents, brothers, sisters, …… With a ground clearance of 5” the inexperienced will just tear it up. Even parking you have to be careful. And watch out for old Spicewood Springs road……………………….

You know those ugly arse yellow placards on the visors? They should warn the driver about ground clearance instead of bags. That sucks man. No other way to put it.

You could possibly save the bumper itself, but the plastic piece(s) look screwed. Maybe if you replace the plastic piece and have a bodyshop work out the bumper, you could have some success. I would get an estimate though...........

I have to have my hood repaired because of a security gate mishap, but I plan on having the car repainted to eliminate rock chips and such. Let us know how it pans out.

Get the real front end from dealer. That keep the value of you nismo at the highest. After market will be just that, a fake part on a real car. And you will know that your nismo has a walmark part on it and you'll hate yourself for it down the line.

Just an FYI,

Front bumper of a Nismo will set you back $700.00 plus $38.00 for the emblem. Estimate for removal, paint, and addition of new bumper will be around $1200.00 total.

That price figure is not that bad. Better than I expected...........

Dpeters · 09-29-2010, 04:39 PM

I believe the bumper on my 350z only set me back 250.00 or so. Kinda sucks they jacked the price for the Nismo that much higher.
