I recently bought a nismo knockoff fb for my car thinking it would work out. Well after 4 hours of cutting and sanding and whatever else, this is what I decided to do with the stupid bumper. See attatchment.

Where did you purchase the bumper from?

Dont you just hate "bolt-ons". Let us know where you bought it from so we can all stay clear of them.

Shiet Im in the same situation, i bought a damn R33 bumper for my kouki, wouldnt fit for crap. I ended up jerry-rigging the damn thing on since i cracked my stock. The bumper lines jes wont line up with the kouki corner lights. So I tried to get a JDM kit, den i end up being assed out since I ordered it from Autoimaging.

That sucks.
I always use to eye this one on overboost i think it was. It was only $200. But I don't think I'd purchase it. Why the hell did you cut it in half? Was this a group buy? What's pops got on the grill tonight?

NismoGear5 · 08-19-2003, 07:44 PM

maybe it cracked in half when he was working on it?

SimpleS14 · 08-19-2003, 08:29 PM

I thought about it but didn't really want to sell the thing and have someone else ****ed cos they couldn't get it to fit.

First when I put it on I thought it would be alright with a little sanding and whatnot around some edges but then I realized that it was about an inch to an inch and a half too wide. ****, how do you fix that? So I cut and cut some more and finally decided to give up and just scrap the thing.

BTW, it was a nismo knockoff, don't know what brand or anything, I bought it from a guy in my area who bought it from some company then sold to me. It only cost me 100 bucks so the loss wasn't that bad.

Yeah, Dad was repainting and putting in all new burners and such on the grill. LOL.

FRpilot · 08-20-2003, 02:22 AM

cutting and cutting. wouldn't it still look like *** if you cut and then somehow fiberglassed it back together.

also, aren't all nismo and junk copies made in some factory in hong kong or something. i thought the nismo knockoffs are all the same but distributed by many companies.
