Would it be wrong to smooth a nismo bumper?

[ChristopherJames]

I have managed to source a genuine nismo bumper.

 

Like my current bumper I want to smooth out the side reflectors, badge and the lip.

I was just wondering how wrong would it be to do this to an original and should I be doing this to a replica?

Sell it, use the money to get a copy and smooth that?

[SteveRS]

Please don't smooth the reflectors, I think it looks good with them in!

I'd be interested in buying it off you!

It certainly is that one. I pick it up tomorrow after work and then will hopefully get it in primer on Friday at work.

 

I think I will end up smoothing the reflectors as I really like the look on my standard bumper and it makes it that little bit different so now I just need to decide if I will be doing it to this bumper or sell this one on and buy a replica from RT-Performance.

RT-Performance do a good replica, you'll see some photo's of mine in the Wales 2012 threads with a smoothed Nissan badge, not smoothed spliter or reflectors though.

get a do luck front bumper

[rtbiscuit]

don't sell it and get a replica. you've just bought a bumper that will fit with no issues, you'd be a fool to seel it for a cheap replica.

 

this is my old one

 

didn't smooth the reflectors out but i did do the badge.

Do this if you must smooth something

 

I think most people like the reflectors, so if it comes to selling up, you'll want to sell that valuable Nismo bumper separately I'm sure and you'll probably not get as much for it with them smoothed out. Otherwise sell it to me and buy a USDM Nismo style lip

[ChristopherJames]

I can see both sides to what people are saying and the reason for even thinking about selling the genuine one and getting a replica is just due to resell value.

 

I know the nismo is very sought after and doing the modifications that I want to would ruine it for most people but I know how good it will look.

 

Well I pick the bumper up tonight and hopefully get it in primer tomorrow at work. I just need to decide what I'm going to do...

Thanks for the photos. Gives me a good idea of what it would look like keeping the reflectors

[Stew]

If you're going to do it, do it how you want it!

 

I have the aerosync which has no badge and no line. Still have reflectors though.
