Go for the OEM bumper if:

1. you don't have time and money to get a bodykit you want.

2. you want a lip kit in the future which you do need OEM bumper instead of the whole bodykit.

I also think it's easier to deal with insurance if you just want to replace with same OEM bumper.

Go for the after-market if:

1. you got about $3k-$4k for genuine lip kit and $5k-$6k for genuine bodykit. Price defer on different brand.

2. you already found what you want and can get it done properly.

I think Chargespeed is one of the most expensive bodykit, followed by Kenstyle. There's also good lip kit out there if you want to keep your V35 looking simple.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

definantly did!

Excess for my insurance is like $1,700 so no use if its just the front bumper..

probably just look for OEM front bumper since i dont have 5k to spend on a bodykit lol :D

thanks heaps!

Welcome.

Sometimes, there's OEM stuffs from V35 for sale on SAU. Keep a look out for that as well, as you can save money in that way too.

is there any other place i can get it from ?

order it from overseas or anything like that ?

and rs73 can you show me a pic plz :D

With stock bumper, I wouldn't know. Probably have to be from Nissan.

I know a friend who changed his front bumper to aftermarket. I will pm again at the end of the week if he wants to sell it. But he is from Perth and is in pearl white.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
