Base rear bumper on a Nismo

AH370Z · 08-21-2020, 09:55 PM

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting back into a 370z after only having a 6month ownership 11 years ago.

I like the idea of the Nismo but I dislike the rear bumper due to the straight squarish vent slits. I find the roundness off the standard bumper much nicer.

So the question is, would I be able to do a direct swap? My guess is yes as others go the other way.

For any artistic folk out there that dont mind doing a photo shop for me that would be awesome or if anyone has any pics of one already done (I couldnt find any)

Also I'm aware of the 400z next year but I prefer older NA, analogue cars. I still love the design and interior of the 370z (console and analog cluster and 3 dial pods etc).

I've thought about going a non nismo, but I like that I dont have to fiddle with suspension and seats and like the darker elements of the nismo interio. I thought about the 50th Anniversery but Im not liking the multi color panels. (what were they thinking!)

Oh and has anyone got a source for buying brand new Rays wheels that came on the 2009-2012 as per my profile pic. These are my favourite wheels and I'd love to have them as a spare set or even the nismo wheel of this generation.

Thanks

It should be doable with the right liners, but the stock Nismo trunk will be a bit off due to the spoiler extending it a bit.

Yeap, The hatch won't line up to the rear panel. The Nismo hatch is longer.
