same thing happened to me, was also going around the same speed...

Yea my thoughts exactly too....I guess because it's "special"

It is an insurance/exclusive thing.
They can make money from insurance companies with this piece since anytime the front is hit this will be replaced, and also it stops people from just buying the Nismo parts and building the kit themselves (which honestly has not stopped anyone).

I think the bigger reason is the cost to make a small number of parts, You have to figure this is a very low QTY part for nissan being it is only used on the Nismo version. Imagine the cost of a plastic mold that size. The piece is huge!
I priced a mold for a small piece of plastic I wanted to "re-pop" a while back and the cost was well over $20,000 for a few inches of mold.

Joe@ZSpeed · 02-02-2012, 03:19 PM

Test fitting prototype Saturday in Cleveland...

quicksilverCC · 02-03-2012, 09:18 AM

Nice let me know what you guys come up with!

Joe@ZSpeed · 02-04-2012, 08:57 PM

For those anxiously awaiting the teaser pics...

Chris was kind enough to allow us to use his car for test fitting today so we made the 4 1/2 hour trip to Cleveland today and took him up on it. Thanks Chris!

Should not be long guys, Prototype fit amazingly well with just a few minor details to work out.

edit: looked at the pic, how come this doesnt extend all the way back? it was my understanding that the stock one extends all the way back is to create more of a smooth undertray to keep airflow smooth!

The image shows it extending just as far back as the OEM Nismo one does. It did not cover that brace. The cross bar on their lift obscures some of the view.

Can't wait to get mine.
