V1 NISMO Kit

Nismo V1 Front Bumper for Sale. Nissan Nismo V1 Body Kit Bumper.

The Nismo V1 bumper is the entry-level front fascia in the Nismo body kit lineup and one of the most recognizable exterior upgrades available for Nissan sport and performance platforms. If you own a Nissan and want to replace a damaged factory bumper with a genuine Nismo V1 front end, or if you are building a Nismo appearance conversion and want the correct V1 specification unit rather than a replica that does not match factory fitment and finish quality, sourcing a verified unit is the correct starting point. At McClain Auto Part, we have been sourcing and selling used OEM and quality aftermarket exterior components out of Cleveland, Ohio since 2009. The V1 Nismo front bumper is one of the more consistently requested Nismo body kit components we carry across the Nissan platform.

Nissan owners and builders come to us for a few reasons. Some deal with a cracked housing or broken mounting tabs after a low-speed impact that took out the front fascia on an otherwise clean car. Others are doing a full Nismo V1 appearance conversion on a standard Nissan and need a genuine Nissan Nismo V1 bumper as the visual foundation of the build rather than a reproduction unit that looks similar in photographs but falls short in person. In addition, a group of track and show car builders sources clean Nismo V1 front end components as the starting point for custom aero additions, wide body builds, and carbon fiber lip installations where factory-quality panel lines are the correct foundation.

Whatever the situation, the goal is the same. A clean, structurally sound Nismo V1 body kit bumper that gives you the right foundation for a factory-correct repair or a custom exterior build.

The Nismo V1 Front Bumper

Nismo, which stands for Nissan Motorsports, is Nissan’s factory performance and motorsport sub-brand. The Nismo body kit program brings specific aerodynamic and visual treatments to Nissan sport platforms. Within the Nismo body kit lineup, the V1 designation represents a specific bumper specification that differs from the V2 and higher variants in lower lip profile, duct opening geometry, and overall front end aggression level.

V1 Versus V2 Nismo Bumpers

The Nismo body kit program for several Nissan platforms offers multiple front bumper specifications. The V1 is the base Nismo bumper in the lineup. It uses a moderate lower lip profile and standard Nismo duct and fog light placement. The V2 takes the design further with a more aggressive lower lip, larger lower air openings, and in some applications additional canard or splitter provisions. Both use the same basic mounting geometry for a given platform. However, the V1 and V2 are visually distinct and not interchangeable from a styling standpoint. Confirm which specification your build requires before ordering.

OEM Nismo Versus Replica V1 Bumpers

Replica and reproduction Nismo V1 front bumpers are widely available in the aftermarket. These units are typically produced from lower-grade fiberglass or plastic and frequently exhibit fitment gaps, inconsistent panel thickness, and surface quality issues that become apparent during paint preparation and installation. A genuine Nismo V1 bumper from a verified donor vehicle gives you factory-correct mounting geometry, factory-spec material quality, and the panel line consistency that reproductions cannot consistently replicate. For a build centered on quality, the genuine unit is the correct choice.

Common Nismo V1 Applications We Source

The Nismo V1 body kit program has appeared across multiple Nissan sport platforms. Common Nismo V1 bumper applications include the 370Z, 350Z, Sentra, Juke, and various Skyline Nismo variants. Each application uses a bumper specific to that model and generation. Confirm your specific model, model year, and Nismo V1 variant before ordering.

What Is Included

Here is what a typical Nissan Nismo V1 bumper package from McClain includes.

Standard With Most Units

• Complete Nismo V1 front bumper fascia assembly
• Factory clip and tab mounting hardware where retained on donor vehicle
• Fog light bezels where present on the specific donor unit, condition noted
• Lower lip and chin spoiler section, condition documented

Available on Select Units or by Request

A Note on Fog Lights and Hardware

Fog light housing availability varies by unit depending on what was retained with the donor bumper. If you need fog light housings with the bumper, tell us when you call and we confirm what is available in current inventory. Factory mounting clips vary in condition on donor units. Plan to source a set of replacement clips before installation to ensure clean fitment and avoid loose panel gaps at the fender interface.

Condition and Inspection

Every Nismo V1 front bumper that ships from our Cleveland warehouse goes through a hands-on inspection. Front bumper condition involves more than surface appearance. Mounting tab integrity, lower lip condition, fog light and duct opening integrity, and panel profile consistency all affect how the bumper performs after installation and paint preparation.

What We Check Before Every Unit Ships

• Full visual inspection of exterior surface for cracks, splits, chips, and damage
• Lower lip and chin spoiler section inspected for cracks, breaks, and previous repair evidence
• All mounting tabs inspected for cracks, breaks, and repair evidence
• Clip points inspected for integrity and complete clip retention
• Fog light and duct opening edges inspected for cracks or damage
• Panel profile checked for consistency and alignment reference accuracy
• Paint condition documented, fading, chips, and repairs noted
• Overall condition graded and documented with notes before packaging

We document surface condition, mounting tab integrity, and lower lip condition on every unit before it ships. You know exactly what you are getting before the order is processed.

Vehicle Compatibility

The Nismo V1 front bumper fits specific factory Nismo V1 applications depending on the model in inventory. Common platforms include:

• Nissan 370Z Nismo, V1 bumper specification
• Nissan 350Z Nismo, V1 bumper specification
• Nissan Sentra Nismo, confirm specific year at time of order
• Nissan Juke Nismo and Nismo RS, confirm specific year at time of order
• Nissan Skyline Nismo variants, confirm specific application

Before ordering, confirm your model, model year, and specific Nismo V1 variant. The Nismo V1 bumper is model-year and trim specific. Furthermore, it does not interchange with the standard Nissan front bumper on most applications without modification to the lower mounting structure and fender liner configuration.

Call us with your VIN and we confirm the correct unit for your specific car.

Nismo V1 Conversion Builds

A significant number of standard Nissan owners source Nismo V1 exterior components to convert their car to the Nismo V1 appearance package. For these builds, the front bumper is the most impactful component to source first. If you are doing a Nismo V1 conversion, also confirm whether your build requires Nismo side skirts, rear bumper, and hood or roof spoiler components to complete the exterior transformation correctly. Call us and we advise on what a full Nismo V1 exterior conversion requires for your specific platform.

Installation Notes

Mounting and Fitment

The Nismo V1 front bumper uses factory mounting points specific to the Nismo V1 application. Installation follows the same general process as any Nissan front bumper replacement. Remove the front bumper cover by accessing the upper mounting bolts through the engine bay and the lower mounting points through the wheel well liners. Transfer any retained fog light housings and hardware to the replacement unit before installation.

Clip and Tab Replacement

Factory mounting clips on donor bumpers are frequently worn, broken, or missing after removal. Therefore, replace any clips or fasteners that are damaged before installing the bumper. Using worn or broken clips results in loose fitment and panel gaps at the fender and hood interface. Quality OEM-spec replacement clips are inexpensive and available from Nissan dealers and quality aftermarket suppliers.

Paint Preparation

OEM and genuine aftermarket donor bumpers arrive in the original donor vehicle paint color. Plan for a full respray to match your car. Before painting, confirm the lower lip section is crack-free and all mounting tabs are intact. Address any stress cracks in the plastic fascia with flexible bumper repair adhesive before primer and paint application. Skipping this step on stressed areas results in paint cracking at those points after installation.

Body Line Alignment

After installing the Nismo V1 front bumper, confirm body line alignment with the adjacent fenders and hood before final torque on all mounting points. The Nismo V1 bumper has specific body line reference points at the upper fender interface and hood gap that need to align correctly for a clean finished appearance. Take time with alignment before committing to paint.

Lower Lip Ground Clearance

The Nismo V1 chin spoiler sits lower than the standard Nissan front fascia. Therefore, confirm your ride height provides adequate clearance at speed bumps, parking lot entrances, and steep driveway transitions before finalizing your setup. For dedicated track builds, clearance is typically not a concern. For daily street use on a lowered car, confirm clearance before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference Between the Nismo V1 and V2 Bumpers?

The V1 is the base Nismo bumper specification with a moderate lower lip profile and standard Nismo duct placement. The V2 uses a more aggressive lower lip, larger lower air openings, and in some applications additional canard provisions. Both use the same basic mounting geometry for a given platform. Confirm which specification your build requires before ordering.

Does the Nismo V1 Bumper Fit the Standard Nissan?

Not directly on most applications. The Nismo V1 bumper uses different mounting geometry and lower fascia dimensions compared to the standard Nissan front bumper. Installing a Nismo V1 bumper on a non-Nismo Nissan typically requires supporting modifications to the mounting structure and fender liner configuration. Call us and we advise on what a V1 conversion requires for your specific build.

Is This a Factory OEM Unit or a Reproduction?

We source genuine Nismo V1 units from factory Nismo-equipped or Nismo-converted donor vehicles. We do not sell low-quality fiberglass reproductions. Confirm at time of order and we advise on the specific unit in current inventory.

What Nissan Models Do You Have Nismo V1 Bumpers For?

Inventory varies. Common platforms we source include the 370Z Nismo, 350Z Nismo, Sentra Nismo, Juke Nismo, and Skyline Nismo variants. Call us and we confirm what is currently available for your specific application.

Does It Come Ready to Paint?

The unit arrives in the donor vehicle’s original paint color. Plan for a full respray to match your car. Address any stress cracks or tab repairs before primer and paint application.

Does It Include Fog Light Housings?

Fog light housing availability varies by unit. Tell us when you call if you need fog light housings included and we confirm what is available in current inventory.

Can I Use This for a Nismo V1 Conversion on My Standard Nissan?

Yes, with the correct supporting modifications. Call us and we advise on what a full Nismo V1 front end conversion requires beyond the bumper itself for your specific platform.

What Does the Warranty Cover?

Coverage against misrepresented condition. Surface condition, mounting tab integrity, and lower lip condition are documented and disclosed before the sale. Contact us directly if the unit arrives in a condition significantly different from what was documented.
