Is the Y33 Q45 front bumper different from the Cima Y33?

[TrizzyDizzy]

Ok, ive noticed alot of really nice lip kits for this car. Ive seen about 20 or more lip/body kits for the Y33. I dont really like any of the full front bumper replacement, just the lip kits. My question is, will a lip kit for a Y33 Cima fit a Y33 Q45? Basically, are the two bumpers different. if not, do any of you by chance know where i can find a factory Y33 Cima front bumper to mount a lip to? Thanks

The JDM Cima bumper is different:

Keep in mind, that pic has the Artisan Spirits front lip on it, but it is the JDM bumper.

Stillen is your only direct fit lip choice, but the Artisan Spirits along with Wald will fit with mild cutting, I've heard. You can order a OEM Cima bumper from Yahoo Japan Auctions but shipping will be $$$$$$

Well money isnt really the problem, its more of locating it. I either plan on getting the Wald, Anceltion, or Tradition lip kit. But i guess ill have to just order an OEM bumper. What about the rear and sides? are they the same or different?

Sides are identical, front and rear bumpers don't need to meet DOT 5mph impact law, so they're shorter overhang front and rear. You'll need to loose the bumper reinforcements, making your car less safe, but that's your call.

If you look through the official Y33 roll call thread at the top of the page, you'll see a black Y33 with full Wald lip kit. No up close shots, but even with cutting, it doesn't fit the bumpers perfectly, but pretty damm good.

I have the Stillen lip which fits like OEM, but the style of it is subject to individual taste. In a perfect world, I'd have either Artisan Spirits like the car posted by Cullen (that's been my desktop for months now), or Wald, both are beautiful. However, I'm getting my lower body trim and the Stillen lip painted in the next couple weeks which makes the car almost look like it's got a full lip kit on it.

Nice... well i just picked up my Q45 yesterday, and im ready to start modding it. So im prolly gonna go through ebay-japan to find those oem bumpers and wald kit, we shall see.

Ebay-Japan??? I think you mean Yahoo.jp. The Wald kit is nice but just know it requires some cutting as I think mostly all JDM kits will. I've been told some are easy to "make" fit than others

[TrizzyDizzy]

yea, you know what i mean, didnt know if everyone would've known what i mean. Well i might not even get a lip kit, but maybe just cut the bumper beam to fit an entire aftermarket bumper replacement.

The big problem with Yahoo Japan auctions is that 99% of them will NOT ship outside of Japan.

[TrizzyDizzy]

Well, what i was planning to do, was to have everything i might possibly need ordered and shipped to a military friend located in Japan. Then at one time, have him ship everything in one container to the closest port possible to AL (savannah, GA or mobile, AL)
