FYI: Replacing parts with new ones will NOT solve the problem. You will have to use glue/get crafty with some modifications etc.

if the existing part is beat up and not to the exact factory dimensions then it will not fit right. if you have ALL new parts and install them correctly you SHOULD not have a gap...


sry i should have added "ALL" and "SHOULD"

:rolleyes:

but your also right, well placed zip ties and added securing measures will fix the gaps.... its what im doing instead of buying new sh1t

You guys may have broken one of the brackets on the front bumper that the black plastic lower piece bolts to. I broke one when I hit a curb. :shakes head: The only way to find out, is to unbolt the black plastic piece.

Yes my front bumper got demaged beore. I am thinking to replace the whole bumper. Dealership qouted me $1650 for parts and labor last year. I am finally going to do it this summer I think.

Is it a cheap fix? But I need to replace my front bumper anyways. There are several places got bent and damaged.

Here you go. :D Post 217 of my journal.

Replaced the Lower Front Bumper Fascia. From when I clipped a curb with it on my last trackday last year. Got the new one from the link below. About a hunderd bucks cheaper then the dealer. There is a piece broken off of the bumper tho. Going to try a fix it with a plastic welder. You can see it in the last picture. I was under the Nismo today, and the new fascia is already scrapped up.

I had the gap and took it back to the dealer. There is a service kit, install was free and no more gap. You may want to call Nissan?
