switch60 · 02-28-2017, 05:03 PM

looking into picking up a front bumper for my Z but the only vehicle available is my Z. Does anyone know how or if its even possible to get a front bumper in the cab? front bumper is a 2015 nismo front bumper.

Thanks!

Uber truck. Make sure you bring a tie down with you,

You could always remove your bumper, drive out & get the new bumper & attach it & drive home.

If that doesn't work, find a friend with a pick'em up truck

It fits in an SUV

The drive to pick up the bumper is ~ 10 hours round trip. Rental isn't cost effective because I'm under 25 and first step was asking around who wants to tag along, SUV/Truck owners.

Probably a bit risky to pick it up if you can't verify it will fit. See what you can do about getting another ride.

I transported one of our front bumpers in a dinky Toyota Yaris before.

Anything with a little extra room will do.

Wow, that's a long trip. Should've considered shipping or closer purchase location. I'd happily pay $150+ for shipping than to drive 10 hours. See if you can get it shipped. Gas alone will cost you around $70. Plus, you gotta buy 2 meals along the way. That's already $100 just to pick up the bumper yourself.

A genuine 2015 Nismo bumper will fit no problem on OPs car. No need to test fit. Just gotta get inner fender liner and undertray for perfect fit.
