Yeah...It was cheap so I said why not...

The Fitment is pretty good but the mounting holes were messed up so I had to make new wholes for it to fit...and its fiberglass...what else can you say...Not sure if I really want to paint it unless its cheap b/c I know it will get messed up for sure...

10-01-2004, 09:43 AM
If its a copy it is very well made. I am pretty sure its real from the pics. Looks just like mine. The bumper is actually pretty tough, just don't go driving into curbs and stuff and you'll be fine. Nice find for $50. :cool:

i like it. ill give you 51 bucks for it ha jk.

10-01-2004, 12:51 PM
Im sure its real. I dont know of any company that makes a copy...If its fake I really dont care! lol! Theres some serial number in the back of the bumper I think but didnt look closely.

psychedelicbeats: HOW MUCH!? :coold:


Im trying to think of some sides and a rear to match up. I dont really like the greddy gracer sides and rear...not really my style nor is the front but it will do...I kind of have some sideskirts and rear in mind already but just want to know some of your opinions!

For the sides get JDM Zenki pieces and for the rear get the JDM kouki bumper with K's sides. Would look HOT!!!!!!

Zen S14
10-01-2004, 08:29 PM
You would have to truck freight it anyways. The companies will usually pack it for you. I am serious about what I said so let me know if you are interested. If you need me to arrange shipping I'll call around.

Its cool. I like the bumper and since I already had one I wanted a backup in case I smash the first one. Enjoy it.

I might repaint the whole car when I get my sides and rear so it might take awhile for paint...

you can use 1st gen altima ones (make them fit) if your too cheap to buy amber / clear japanese size signals.

cool thanks maybe ill try that out...right now I just have the bulbs sitting in the corners of the signal holes. I kinda want a circular turn signal and at night i think it looks pretty freakin coooooool! If you look closely at the pics you could see the orange bulb :D

I personally do not like the rest of the Gracer kit. I think a set of more agressive sideskirts goes better with that front. If you drift alot or does multiple track events I suggest getting the Navan sides, which are what the gracer sides are copies of anyways and probably cheaper on ebay than buying the fiberglass gracer pieces.

I give a picture of my car to give you a reference to what I am talking about.

P.S. get the JDM side marker lights. The euroclears I got on ebay are crap, barely fit, and also got moisture problems that burned out one of the harness plugs.

I saw you leaving Japantown on Sunday... I was the guy waving in the silver-blue S13. Just have to say, nice wheels! Always thought the R33 wheels looked nice on the S14. The bumper needs a little paint and it'll be real nice.

First of all the bumper is REAL because I was the original buyer... direct from Greddy back when I had s14 #3. I sold the whole kit to the first owner of blu808's now s14.5...

Daniel, just ship it greyhound and wrap it up... cheap and works fine.

hey whats up man! You car looks real clean man...did you get a paint job? PM me where you got it done if you did and how much. Looks real clean. Im waiting on my sides and rear to come in before I paint it. Should be all painted by the end of the month I hope.


ahhaha thanks Jay. Now I know this bumper has been passed around and taken advantage of a few times! lol ahah

Yeah, the car has been repainted about a year ago. It is the original nissan color the car came in, I just had it refreshed. It was done by someone I know at a body shop who does painting on the side in his spare time. Not exactly cheap, about $2000 and 1.5 month of time for the whole car but that's including some body repair, removing all the trim, sanding, dent removal (not bondo, actual dent repair), door jambs matched, fading to match existing paint, and paint + other materials.

If you're interested, I can see if he has time to do a whole car... or do you just want some pieces painted? He usually does just pieces like bumpers, spoilers etc. Just drop off the item, let him know the color code you want and pick it up in a couple of days. Last item I had painted was my bumper for $300.
