I'm curious if anyone has done this can give me some insight on how simple or not it really is to install a 1999 JDM front fascia.

Here's the deal, someone hit my bumper in a parking lot and now I need a new one. Rather than going with my regular OEM 1995 Z bumper, I was thinking something a little different.

As far as install, I will have a shop do it so it gets done right and paint matched and stuff but I'm looking at the one on the Z1 motorsport site and I'm not sure what all I need to have.

I have a 1995 300zx N/A. So do I need to buy the external inter cooler ducts? And what is the shaved bracket? Basically what do I need to make it look good and is it even worth it?

I'm sorry I'm such a noob on this, but I don't do a lot of body work...

Thanks!

Make sure you don't have more damage than you think. All the bumper really is, is just a cover, that is all.

I know the side markers are different and you do not need the ducts if your N/A. Im sure someone will chime in that has done the 99 bumper to give you more info.

The shaved bracket refers to the licence plate holder/ bracket. IMO, get it shaved, if your state does not require a front plate; look much nicer.
