NISMO front bumper replica. Any interest?

marks370z · 04-04-2012, 11:06 PM

I'm currently in the process of replicating the NISMO front bumper and would like some of the forum members take on it. Would you be more interested in fiberglass or urethane?

i would be interested in urethane..

marks370z · 04-05-2012, 12:11 AM

I'll probably have a couple made in fiberglass and urethane and see which one gets better satisfaction.

Why are you making replica bumpers if you have a Nismo? Just curious. I would be interested in a Nismo rear spoiler though.

marks370z · 04-05-2012, 02:13 AM

It's what I do for a living. I replicate a lot of lips and bumpers and resell. Just now getting a Z, so i figured I might try my hand at replicating parts for them. So if any of the forum members would like to contribute some ideas it would help.

If fitment is good urethane would be awsome.

Ah I see, that's cool. I've noticed people have been able to obtain the front, rear, and side skirts from a Nismo Z but never a true replica of the rear spoiler. I can guarantee you that if you were able to replicate that exactly, you would make a killing. The Seibon and EvoR don't even have the same look and fit. 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.

I just ordered the sides/rear and front bumper and wing. Body parts should be here within the week or next and the wing had to be ordered from overseas so that's about a 2 month wait. Will keep you guys updated though.

Would like a replica in black of the Mine extension rear spoiler in urethane.

i'd be interested in seeing a variation like the 350Z "SL2" front bumper...

USMCASA · 04-05-2012, 04:10 PM

also can you replicate the 1000 buck splash shield that covers the oil pan since the standard one is too short for the nismo.... either that or make the bumper marry up to the existing one

lol1234 · 04-05-2012, 04:30 PM

the SL2 was a great bumper

Like the one ZSpeed makes? The aluminum front diffuser?

I know you seem to be interested in making replicas of existing products, but PLEASE make a tasteful and restrained rear diffuser! It looks like you move quickly through the process too, that will serve you well.
