Probably cheaper to make your own copies.

It would take $25k of my time to get even close to that as a starting point.

Although, carving such things from foam core might be therapeutic. Might. Could also be maddening.

Yeah talking about the ones on the rear bumper… these ones are easy to get from top secret. The rear bumper ones are impossible. A friend of mine was selling his for 3500 aud. shocked no one replicates them.

I didn't even know such things existed.

Sorry I'm late to this, but if you're still looking or for others who happen upon this, pretty sure these are what you're(and I'm) after.....

I'm personally interested in the Muse set, as they are also made out of ABS instead of fibreglass.

Hi Luke. Yeah I actually ordered a set of muse ones from highintakeperformance. They are delivering them to me this weekend after 3 months. I think they are replicas of the nismo ones in a different material if I am not mistaken.

According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same.

Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.

 

Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.

According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly.

The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM PUR-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs PURs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.

--edit-- Bloody talking bullshit. TPU wasn't a thing back then. I've been afflicted by 3D-printing-itis.  I mean PUR. PUR-RIM is Polyurethane- Reaction Injection Moulding, which was all the range back then.

'coz I was confused.

Will do. Car just came out of the shop so will wait 3 weeks to go to the body shop. Still working on my motor.

Note I edited my post, so Sleeper's quote is not the same as what I meant any more.

Here’s the updated and installed muse replica nismo ones … very happy with the outcome. Eventhough I painted my whole rear end due to my rich idle lol. 

[GTSBoy]

Yeah, they look good. I should try to fit them on mine. But being a GTSt, the guard shape probably doesn't suit properly.

What did the rear look like before repaint from the "rich idle"?

Like my mirrors do here. Going to use a compound to treat them when it comes in dr beasley n45 …

That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?

lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit.

No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain.

Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

Definitely needs ceramic coat and fresh wax every week.

And cats. Running with no cats is a (unt act.
