Is this front bumper level with the rest of my 300Zx?

[NissanZDreamer]

Is this VIS Racing® - Terminator Front Bumper level with the rest of my stock side skirts and my stock rear bumper? I have a 2+2 NA. The last owner hit a parking spot cement block and i messed up the whole bottom lip of the front bumper, all there is left is a piece on the drivers side that is about a foot long and I would like to replace it with a different bumper.

What you have there is a Greddy GRacer knockoff, known by many names, IMHO and as I am sure many will agree this is probably the best full on aftermarket front end for the Z32, to answer your question: It is almost even but will look better with the gracer sideskirts, it also goes with one of the models of the stillen sideskirts. I have been contemplating this bumper for a very long time but it seems that it looks best on light and bright colors and as I was sapphire blue before and am now rolling batmobile black I've given up. Something to consider for you depending on how bad your factory front end is messed up is going with a lip from either kaminari or stillen, these can be rattlecanned a flat color and usually dont look half bad on any color.

...and if looking for no fitment issues which the knockoff companies will have (means fasteners/modification/fabrication on your end, and still iffy fit at fenders/headlights) consider the '99 jspec OEM bumper. It looks as good or better IMO, and fits perfectly and with NO mods if you get the marker/signal lights/pigtail and fitment parts offered at most vendors.
The '99 jspec is very reasonably priced as well:

At $360 It's cheaper than the jspec tails now!

Thanks for the advice! And NolimitZ32 I wish I have the money to purchase the JDM 1999 Kouki front bumper! I WANT IT SO BAD!

Word of advise from someone whom made the same mistake YEARS ago. Stay away from fiberglass front bumpers!!!!! Spend the money and get a urethane or plastic bumper. You will appreciate it in the long run.

Thanks!

This this this this this. Fiberglass will crack and shatter. Urethane will give you some bend.

Still a little wet behind the ears huh pup? Lol I only kid of course.

[NissanZDreamer]

Yeah. If I had the money I would do soooooo many things to my car!

[NolimitZ32]

If you had the money, you wouldn't have the time, thats how it usually work. Back when I had all the time in the world I didn't have the money, now I have money to burn but no free time to devote to the car. Be careful what you wish for.

But hey I love my 300Zx I love cars as much as I do coins, and there is nothing wrong with an 18 year old owning a 1990 Nissan 300Zx 2+2 NA. I seen her on craigslist under mustangs and it looked badas* for $1000 and with only 132,982 miles drove all the way to Gastonia,NC (2 1/2 Hour drive) purchased her stayed at a hotel rented a U-Haul trailer brought her to my house worked on her for 3 1/2 months spent another $2,500 on her and here we are! Driving her to school everyday while everyone is jealous even with there new camaro's and mustangs! I'm soo happy!

[NissanZDreamer]

And yes you're right.

[NissanZDreamer]

Ohh and 1 more thing it is a HUGE chick magnet!

[NolimitZ32]

Yeah I bought mine over Christmas break of my Senior Year in high school, here I am 10 years and about $30k later, its a disease man!

[worldisgrand]

I got my first Z back in 2007 shortly before I joined the ranks here. Had it through getting married, 3 kids, bought a house, semi accident in truck, motorcycle accident, and the car is still here. My wife says she doesn't believe I will ever sell this car even though I have repeatedly told her I was over the years. She calls it my Mistress, hahaha. However, its is an awesome car to have cause you get respect from almost all groups, old timers, young crowds, tuners/imports, classics, and domestics. I can pull into almost any parking lot and heads turn.

[NolimitZ32]

Hell I've had relationships (no marriages yet) end over my Bugeye WRX and my Z so yours being a mistress is right.

Mine's passing the 20K mark invested by the time I get her back to form.
Parts ain't cheap, and labor even moreso when you can't do it yourself or don't trust yourself to get the results you want.

High School is a fun place for car guys, especially if you have a ride that's unique. When I was there most guys had GM products of one type or another, with a '69 Z28 Indy special (white/orange stripes) and a minty '64 Impala owned by the Rich kids standing out most.
But many people liked my '67 Fastback Mustang since it was the only fastback in the school and one of only a few in the area. Eventually I got a green GTA and a green GT for my GF, matching green fastbacks was pretty awesome.

[NissanZDreamer]

All you have in this school is an Rx-8 Shinka, Cobalt SS,New mustangs old 90's mustangs and new camaro's and an Eclipse with 300hp thats all the fast cars here in my high school
