I'm actually in the process of having a rear diffuser designed by a friend of mine. Made of .063 aluminum. I'm going to see how that goes as planned and post up pics as soon as possible.

I'd be interested in a urethane one as well. Also a bonus if it works with the standard under shroud as I have the z1 aluminum shroud that id like to keep

Really interested in this thread. Let's see where it goes!

OP, are you trying to make exact precision replicas of the OEM Nismo parts to the point where you can't tell the difference? That would be epic!

Doing a bit more than trying.

I'll probably pop out a few in fiberglass for now and see how those match up and work for you guys. Urethane will probably take a bit longer due to the mold being the most cost effective and time consuming.

Hoping it works out cost effectively as well!

are you doing any custom variations?

I'm working on a custom rear diffuser and custom splash guard. Possibly custom front bumper and lip depending on how well the NISMO parts do.

I second the replica that bolts to the factor standard brackets/splash shield.

In for EXACT front bumper urethane rep =] PM price!

Sub'd for updates and pricing. Would love to see a Nismo front replica that mounted to the factory standard brackets/splash shield that's affordable.

Edit: Also, please shave the hamburger! Thank you!

I know myself and many other members are hungry searching for an exact looking Nismo wing and aren't able to find it. Looking forward to your work.

Yup me too.

By the way OP do you have any samples of your products? Pics of finished products installed? ETC...

I'm in for the front bumper if the price is right.
