New bumper and fender - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My front bumper is pretty beat-up and my fenders are well.. they gotta go (yea, its that bad). Anyhow, I am lookin to replace these 3 parts. My friend suggests that I goto the junkyard and just rip'em out of some other fastback. I expect to pay under $100 for all 3 pieces from a junkyard. I would like a 91-94 pieces because they're newer and look better. All 3 pieces will bolt-on right? A local shop told me that I can just do it myself with some friends.

Anybody know where I can get a front bumper and fenders for cheap? I dont have time to goto the junkyards so I would like to just buy some.

A "late model" type junkyard will pull the parts for you. These are the places to go for body panels anyway... the cars in pick'n'pulls I've seen always have trashed exteriors. It's going to cost more than $100 though.

Make sure if you want newer parts to search under 91-93...select collision...then "front bumper" & "fender". Those guys alot of times are over 50% off what you would pay for new from your nissan dealership. (BTW they only sell NEW OEM parts...)

For all three parts you are looking to pay over 100 dollars. If you are close to the kansas City area or know someone who is. THere is a company called CertiFit that has Front Bumpers, ETC... Brand new> i got a drivers side fender for 120. So its up to you just my .02

Well, im looking to walk into a junkyard, find a fastback, and just remove the fenders and front bumper cover, then just ask them how much, and drive home with'em for a small fee. Last time, my friend pulled an SR20 ECU from a nx2000 and they just let us have it for free. They were selling good tires (75-90% tread) for $15 bux each.

Im wondering if Im gonna need the supports and stiffeners and such. I can just take the cover right? Are the 89-90 covers interchangeable with 91-93?

but the 91+ have that little side peice to make the 91+ bumper match. so as long as you stick with a 89-90 bumper your good.
if not to be fluch with the 91+ bumper you'll need 91+ fenders

Just the cover is good right? Do I need any reinforcements? I can just take the cover right? How bout the fenders?

Your probably going to have to take the fenders and front bumper off to find out if they steel behind it is damaged. I would say no but can't tell unless i am looking at it. Your best bet is to take it all off and look at it to find out if you need the reinforcements..
