| 300zx front bumper
Ok so i have a back 1990 Nissan 300zx
if any of you guys saw it at the meet you can tell it needs some work done on the front bumper.
the damage is not TO bad but bad enough to make me want to fix it
its just the lip that is cracked and kinda saggin
would it be worth it go get it fixed at a body shop ?
OR would it be better to A. get a new lip (if they just sell the lips not sure or do you have to buy a whole new front bumper?)
B. get it fixed
but if i do get a new one
were the heck do you find them?
i called ALMOST every junk yard in the lower main land and found nothing?
whats the deal
were do you find those bad boys?

z tune specializes in 300zx you could try them.
you want OEM replacement? if not maybe you would be interested in some aftermarket bumpers

You're right, that picture is not very telling. Can you even get an OEM lip, I thought it was all just one piece, so you'd have to replace the entire bumper if you wanted it OEM. My very first car was a 92 300zx, I still miss it. I had a damaged bumper as well, but not as severe as yours. I ended up replacing it with a similar/clean looking aftermarket bumber. If you want OEM, it will cost you a pretty penny. Aftermarket is cheaper. And there are bumpers that look very similar if not better than the stock bumper. Give it some thought.

i would assume aftermarket lips would be unpainted.. you could always go ghetto and rattle can it if you're on a tight budget
you could also try looking for a lip off another car, at a car yard.. and adapting it to your car.. not sure how that would turn out though

definitely do not repair that. The oem NA lip is too ugly. Swap it for the GTZ lip for the same price as the repair cost, and everyone is happy  | |

ouch your lip looks like it's about to fall off. have you tried the local 300 forums? maybe someone on there is trying to get rid of one or selling an old one if they mod'd their car.

So you went with the Stillen NA lip?
This is what its going to look like. It can be done tastefully. Think of it this way, you can retain your headlight washers! (If had them to begin with)
