Not sure if I want to go this route or not, but where can we find reasonably priced rubber replacement strips for the old chrome bumpers? I may just buy the Futofabs in the end, but I have a decent set of old style bumpers already, they just need either new rubber or welding up and rechroming...

Nissan Dealership?

Not trying to be a smart&$# but I was able to get the horizontal rubber strips for the bumpers from Nissan a couple of years ago.

This what I did and thought it looked ok. I got this from pep boys. Still have a bunch left. I think it was $22 or so back then?

All black no chrome.

I will check with my dealer. But the body molding might be a good idea too.

My bumpers were just drivers and I couldn't see investing in the right rubber for the cost. 

Do you have pics installed?

Here are a few: 

 

Held on well after the guy I sold it to killed it:

 

Should have put put a strip of it in the center of the bumper......might have absorbed the impact.

 yeah! I sold it to a 17 year old kid in South Florida. That was 2 weeks worth of ownership for him. He bought it for 7k and insured for 10k. I tried like heck to buy it back from the insurance company. No luck. 

My poor Epsilon wheel!

Where did a 17 year old get $7K?  Certainly not from flipping burgers at McDonalds.  Some of the cash would have been better spent on a high performance driving school class.  Nice car, slow reflexes, bad wreck.
