Someone in my local area is selling this bumper for $350. It says Nismo on it but anyone can slap a sticker on something and brand it. Can someone tell what bumper this is? Also, is it worth $350? I haven't seen it in person yet so I'm unsure of the condition. Thanks in advance for the help! Oh, one more thing - will it fit on my 2008?

Never mind. I just saw the 2 lines on the pumper that line up with the lines on the hood. Probably wouldn't look so hot with my 08 hood.

the Nimo V3 would be perfect if you like the look. I can't believe they drilled holes to mount the front license plate

...i got a Stillen front licnese plate holder that screws in the towhook.

Yeah, the aerosync n1 is very similar and doesn't have the 2 vertical lines but it cost more new - about $450+. I learned that this bumper will mount properly on my 08 and I can just fill in the lines. I'm still thinking it over...

what is that bumper made of? hopefully its urethane or it could become a costly investment...I really like the look of the bumper though. Good luck with your decision

I'm assuming that the canards are urethane

Personally I wouldn't even consider buying anything that wasn't urethane.

Thanks for the tips and advice. I've decided not to get it. I want to do wheels, tires and suspension first so I wasn't really looking for a bumper. But, when I saw it I thought I might grab it if it was a good deal.
