firemansim Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I need a new front bumper and I quite like the "GTR" style one that a company called "Knight racer" do, does anyone know anything about them, or has someone got a picture of one fitted to a car. Not to sure about the bumper as I don't want to appear to be trying to look like something it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Knightracer don't include VAT on their website, or delivery, so expect the price to increase by at least 20% + £10-£15. Their fibreglass stuff has been described as a touch hit or miss before in terms of how easy it is to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 They make stuff for lots of car makes, they don't have a great reputation on the Skyline forums - their stuff is known to be way out and need major alterations or simply sent back (for you to then try battle your way to a refund).

firemansim Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks for the info but they would be fitting and spraying the bumper,but by the sound of it the work they do isn't great then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemansim Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Cheers Grundy, I think it looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You'll need a fair few body mods to pull it off, needs an aggressive look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I think you would need nicely spaced/offset wheels that fill the arches, nismo style rear wing to make it work nicely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemansim Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm running on 19" volks and my car is lowered on "nismo" suspension plus I have body kit fitted, do you think I'd get away with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yes ^ That rusty in the pic looks pretty smart to be fair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Not the worst thing I've seen fitted to a Zed and actually looks pretty good on the ginger Zed. If you like it firemansim then just go for it but you've been warned fitting maybe an issue so just bear that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Looks pretty good I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desey Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 350Zs have smooth curved lines all the way from front to back and, and that bumper is very sharp, and boxy, something 350zs are not looks good but only with suporting body mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
