mercurial Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I got a UK spec GT and as some of you heard, got pranged and instead of putting the replacement bumper, trying to sort out a diffferent one....with the price put aside, what is the difference in terms of what you get and the quality of what you get between a proper nismo vs a nismo styled?

Sarnie Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Nismo will fit perfectly. A copy will/may need to be manipulated by the bodyshop, so the money you save on the copy may end up costing you more to get fitted thus negating the benefit............ Quote
sketch Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 basically if it a genuine from a big company like ings or nismo ect it will be (almost) a prefect fit and is in many cases, if you buy a copy they vary in price but most of the time you get what you pay for, a very cheap kit will be poor fitting, cost a lot for the bodyshop to fit and be a gereral ball ache Quote
mercurial Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 So in terms of fit - then I guess the Nismo will mean less work for the body shop, but in terms of quality both are made from different materials right? I hear the Nismo cracks easily??? Quote
AK350Z Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 No fibreglass kit will thank you for hitting kerbs etc, but it won't just crack of its own accord. Quote

H5 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 The genuine stuff fits at least as well as the standard bumper (I think my Nismo v2 fits better than my standard bumper!) - plus you get a nice Nismo badge and you won't have to worry about fitment / filler issues! Quote
