Your saying that's genuine on your website ?

I think you need to change that as its a copy

Mookistar · 10th August 2012, 05:53 PM

I can't believe they'd be fibreglass? Nismo spats and side skirts are plastic. Why wouldn't a nismo bumper be? MATTY?

Mookistar · 10th August 2012, 05:58 PM

Wow. You're right.

I'm not paying ££££'s for fibreglass. Think I'll settle on a vspec on instead.

Miguel - Newera · 11th August 2012, 12:26 AM

All Nismo 400R, R tune & Z Tune body parts (Except dry carbon bonnets

) are FRP.
Having said that, their quality is 100%. No wavyness (as with copies), perfect dimensions, etc.

The manufacturing costs for making injection-moulded polyeurethane mass produced bumpers are too high per unit for small volume tuning parts like these, even for a company like Nissan (Nismo).
Now you know, Mook!

If your worried about quality or weight mook don't be they are awesome quality and weigh prob the same as standard very light

Mookistar · 11th August 2012, 01:36 PM

I'm confused by this. why are my Sideskirts plastic? My spats, and Trust front splitter.

Why would Nismo put shitty fibreglass on thier top spec car?

I HATE fibreglass with a passion. It'll have to be a V-spec bumper with the ducts instead.

RonniNielsen · 11th August 2012, 01:50 PM

Mook, you cant really just compare fiberglass!

it would be the same to say that a peugoet was as good as a mercedes... theres a huge difference in quality!
that said, i would allways prefer a plastic bumper

i just think fibreglass is brittle. One knock and there's no flex. the paint either crazy paves or the bumper itself cracks. At least theres "play" in plastic.

Mookistar · 11th August 2012, 02:14 PM

well thats the kicker, They are marked up as Nissan and i was under the impression they were 400r?

ab20000 · 11th August 2012, 03:30 PM

Still don't have any clue if the replicas will even fit a gtr when the link states gts!?

Mookistar · 11th August 2012, 03:52 PM

Dude. Check out the knight racer website.

Can only see one for the GTS unless I'm being a complete chump?

matty32 · 11th August 2012, 07:14 PM

you really have to see the nismo quality, to appreciate it.

their items are not like the fast east copies you see

also on a side note Trust are not known for their quality on areo kits

it is quite poor in comparison to Nismo Omori

Mookistar · 11th August 2012, 07:50 PM

So why are my skirts plastic?
