S1 HNK Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0225032128 is there any way i can tell if this is genuine or replica. the owner bought it off ebay and says he bought a car with the kit on so no longer needs it. any experts out there willing to comment?

lomoto Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 .looks like a genuine item with the nismo label ?? bear in mind Nismo front bumpers are made from fibreglass not abs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 They all have a serial number somewhere too. I remember Val mentioning that when he bought his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 looks like a genuine one. The serial number is the best sign without actually seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I couldn't read that! :lol: Looks good. Worth a punt perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedee! Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Worth a punt upto a point i'd buy a shine auto one over a nismo one. I had a Nismo one on the car and the smallest tap cracked the gel cote a bit bigger one split the bumper The material the shine ones are made of is much more flexable compared to the Nismo ones.

Rob_Quads Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Looks pretty genuine to me. I got extra pics off him and it has all the proper fixings - nicely cut holes etc not your typical fibreglass rip off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 i suppose you never know, until its too late and the bodyshop says no chance! i take your point about the fiberglass part. i have actually got a veilside v1 front lip in urethane but am concerned that it might sit abit lower than a nismo bumper which isnt actually as low as it looks.

Stew Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I went aerosync as I didn't want fibreglass. Then I got USDM sideskirts as they are urethane too. If the money is right I still say the Nismo is worth a punt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
