Hi all, I am After a new quality front bumper. Who has purchased and been happy with the quality and fitmemt. I'm in Perth but happy to ship one if needed. Thanks
Then you really need to try and source one of them. The Japanese auction sites may be of help if you can get your head around them. Real problem with any replica and intact any aftermarket bar is it's a lottery as to the quality of fit out of the molds I understand that was your original question but problem is I doubt anyone sells them new now other than replicas
You could get one from the states if you're willing to pay heaps for shipping on a weak Aussie dollar....could also go the Stillen front lip from CZP. I went for Stillen parts because they're urethane so they retain the flex of original parts (good if you nudge something, won't crack like fibreglass). Get it painted with decent amount of clear and if you do get a light scrape, most likely can be polished out from the clear coat rather then touch-up paint. Getting a few people to get one with you might be the go, as the shipping wouldn't be much difference due to the postage being high due to the cubic weight (size) rather then the dead weight (actual weight). Or combine with other items from their aero section or their dress-up section.
Cough cough local Stillen distributor www.rgsperformance.com -if that's what you want drop me a line bit as Kris said big $$ due to cost of freight and low Aussie dollar. For urethane your options are Nissan or Stillen, or there is a mob that does urethane GReddy style.
If rob does new stillen then definitely go that way. - Sorry buddy did not realise you did that. Wings west will most likely replicas.
Didn't remember that myself, though probably did hear it mentioned..... only Stillen kit I see on there is the engine service protection cover, and only front bar listed is the Nissan OEM.
2000 spec OEM, fit is perfect Stillen urethane, fit is perfect Wings West genuine, Fit is bad to awful and requires a fair bit of work for a good result. But can look good. I have seen a Greddy Urethane front bar, in fact they where sold here in a group buy many years ago. They where cheap and fit was poor. Wings West with a lot of work. Stillen with hardly any work.
Twin Z For my money the Twin Z is miles ahead of the rest in styling. Clean lines that update the look of the Z to a more modern standard, if that's what you want. According to Andrew (Minivan) the fit is good too.
All good, too big an investment to keep one in stock (ie pay for it and have it sit here), if anyone is serious about buying one I can get it in for a better price as an Aussie dealer than you would get buying through an American retailer. I'd like to do a group buy on Stillen bodykit in a similar format to the TwinZ design group buy but I need to get that one finished up first, even if only for my own sanity.
I have the wings west style which I like but will see how fitting goes and buy something else if needed. Not sure if I like the twinZ front bumper - may grow to like it
Voting on a Group buy to come up for a Stillen or Greddy Urethane Bar (and maybe some TYPE III Stillen sideskirts and door fillers)
