Daze Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hey guys, Still fairly new here, although been doing lots of reading & searching around for various bits & bobs Anyway, I'm after a front lip for my prefacelift 350z. Basically exactly the same as the pic... http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_ima ... _large.jpg Am I right in saying that's a Nismo front lip? If so, where can I buy one? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Think thats a Nismo V1 front bumper. There is no official separate lip. Think It's just painted separately in that picture. Some other manufacturer might offer one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daze Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thats a Nismo V1 front bumper. There is no separate lip. It's just painted separately in that picture. Bummer, really? So its an entire front bumper that I'd need to get, rather than just a bolt-on lip at the bottom? This is my car, the bumpers do look the same to me apart from the lip...? http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5296/542 ... 90d1_b.jpg What other options is there for an aftermarket lip that looks similar? I just think my car needs it since it has the sideskirts & rear spats, and it didn't really match up at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 This bumper and lip has just came up for sale, if of any interest then just drop me a pm. Alex.

Daze Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ah, thanks for the reply. That's quite nice, but I still prefer the more subtle look of the splitter I said about, since I think it matched up to the Nismo kit a bit better? Do you have any photos of that bumper+lip fitted? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Should have, I will have a look for you when I have a minute. It is an oem bumper with the Greddy lip, similar to my own car in my signature picture. Alex. Ah, thanks for the reply.

Daze Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ah, cool. Thanks for the replies & info. Looks good on your car, but you have different sideskirts to me, I think that would make a lot of difference. I have messaged a few USA sellers on ebay selling this front lip... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0571222008 Which looks good for what I want. I presume the fitment isn't great, but that doesn't bother me too much, I'm sure I could get it fitting OK with some "mods"! Anyone with any experience/advise from such sellers/lips?

I just think my car needs it since it has the sideskirts & rear spats, and it didn't really match up at the moment Actually, that is just a splitter - not an N1 front bumper I have one myself Photobucket seems to be down at the moment but will add some pics to show you it both off and on the car when its sorted itself out I got lucky and picked it up from ebay at a really good price considering its an original - I think you'll struggle to find another original one but there's a seller on ebay with carbon replicas at the moment i think.... The nice thing about Alex's is that you have seen it fitted to a bumper and know its a good fit - the ebay ones may not be Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hmm I'm liking what I'm hearing - that I could just buy said lip, rather than an entire front bumper... Where can I get this lip from, anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well, my one - which is an "official" nismo front lip ( ) I'm pretty sure started life in Canada! Got a feeling they were a US/Candian Market product... so gonna be pretty hard to source an original I think... This is the ebay one i mentioned.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350z-03-07 ... 1448wt_905 Shame there isnt a "let me ebay that for you" site....

Ok thanks The one you linked to is a carbon fiber one though, so hence the steep price. Did you see my eBay link I previously posted? It looks like the same lip, just a copy & non-carbon version, which might be a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I bought a fibreglass nismo style front lip from that same ebay seller uk body kit. i have test fitted the lip to the bumper, fitment is reasonable. However I plan to have the lip smoothed into the bumper, as well as the emblem recess and the grill replaced with mesh so it will look similar to the aerosync bumper. I have pics of the lip test fitted to the bumper if you want to see them let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Though an easier alternative may be this, plus it comes from a member trader http://www.epracing.co.uk/Aero-Kit/Niss ... 8-100-812/ Not the same i know, but similar and just as nice Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
