stillen front fascia.

maximusz · 05-07-2013, 03:41 PM

Well I had an unfortunate run in with a chunk of tire on the highway, and needless to say I will probably need a new front bumper. I'm not going through insurance becausey rates are already high enough. I've been looking at the stillen front bumper, bit I don't really know how it would flow with the rest of the car.Am I crazy for wanting to go this route or should I stick with the OEM nismo?

OEM NISMO OEM NISMO OEM NISMO! oh ya OEM NISMO.

Bro personally I think you would be down grading if you went Stillen front bumper. Stick with Nismo. My condolence for your bumper loss.

OEM it is lol. Right after I posted this I really got to looking at how nice the OEM is

I actually is going to sell my oem Nismo front bumper pretty soon. It has minor damage on it. But nothing you will notice from outside. The damage is little dent near both fender walls and the gap between the 2 edges of the defuser and the front bumper(it's very commom issue for nismo).

What I am going to sell is the front bumper(FBM23-1A47H) and the facsia front lower bumper(F2026-1A47A). There is a non nismo guy actually interested in these 2 parts. But what seems to stop him is the expensive Nismo oem under tray. I see you already have a nismo. If your under tray is fine and you willing to pay the shipping for these 2 parts, we might be able to work something out. Let me know.

The bumper is still on my car. Here is fresh pix taken today.

And this is the pic I took a coupe monthes ago when I pulled the steer lock fuse.

Can you take a close up of the damage? I was going to buy a new one but I can't seem to locate where to order one online

Be honest with you, here are your options...

1. Buy new front bumper and front spoiler from Nissan dealership for $1100 shipped.

2. Buy new front bumper and front spoiler from the site the guy listed in his thread for $1000 shipped.

Nismo Body Kit Conversion w/ Nismo CF High Wing

3. Buy slightly damaged front bumper and front spoiler from me for $750 shipped(approximately price depends on actual shipping cost).

PM me your email address and I will send you some pictures on the damaged part of my front bumper.

Man if it was solid red I'd be all over it..I'm assuming by front spoiler you mean the little black lip on the bottom. I still have that somewhat intact. Conceptzperformance sells the OEM front for 720 shipped and since I would have to get it painted anyways I think I'm gonna go that route

forza370z · 05-09-2013, 04:11 PM

Ok, that sounds like a good deal. Good luck buddy!

370Zsteve · 05-09-2013, 04:22 PM

I'm a fan of the Amuse...

fredstah · 05-30-2013, 12:58 PM

I would do Amuse If I got the 370z base model. Getting new looks on the nismo would be downgrading, period!

Call me crazy bro, but I kind of like that Stillen fascia as well compared to the Nismo bumper (I'm assuming you are talking about the one with the fangs and the ducts on each side). I've seen a couple pics on here, can't remember where, but I thought they looked tough as s**t. Just my opinion though...some love em, some hate em. I just dont like the fact that they aren't 1 piece, I believe there is a small piece on each side of the lights that connect to the bumper (could see the outline in a couple pics after painted)

Crazy.

the only reason i would consider anything other than the oem nismo is for ventilation. even then I cant do it. Just going to install the NMS-style brake ducts

Vichtz · 05-31-2013, 02:43 AM

Stick with oem. I have the Stillen, but only because I don't have a NISMO... Still, I do love the stillen
