that bumper filler looks like it could be the piece between the grille and chrome bumper piece

nissan calls it - apron front,upper 62651-3S530

[CharlieBucket]

is the front apron/valance paintable? i know it's plastic but matched to body color with the chrome inbetween would look really good. do you sand plastic or just clean it and spray away?

[FATT STRIPES]

yes, some came painted from nissan. i'm not a car painter but i would assume a little scuffing and that should do it

[lofrontier]

All that plastic is paintable. I did it on my old '98. Mine actually came with low profile fender flares that looked real nice painted.

I also painted the cowl.

My friend did the actual painting so I'm not sure about the actual products used. I think it was some cleaner, high build primer, LOTS of sanding to smooth out the texture, base, clear...

sorry, double post. I don't think my browser likes this site.

ok it looks like a fronty bumper top half and a ranger bumper bottom half Frankensteind together.

[pugz]

i think thats actually just a ranger bumper

[intenseconcepts]

well are they?
i'm pretty sure they're the same, the pictures are just taken at completely different angles.

So I'm guessing you're planning on running this bumper on your truck? That should look pretty clean, I'm interested to see how it turns out.

Also, you may need bumper brackets. There's two brackets that hold it to the frame, and there's also some smaller brackets and rubber pieces that bolt to a bracket that attaches to the bottom of the fenders.
