I have this kit, and I tried it on NG900. I must say, that,
unfortunately, it is not designed for it. When you try it
on 9-3, it fits snuggly. The only thing you need to to actually secure all the fasteners. The story is different with NG900. When you try to fit it, you will see holes/cavities everywhere. I am sure they can be filled with something. Probably some braces will need to be made to make the whole construction sturdy. But it does spell a lot of work.
Myself, I found it easier to just change the bumper skins. I did the front -- it took me 3 hours. All the parts fitted well and overall it came out nice and strong. I bought the rear bumper skin recently on ebay for $90 ($120 with delivery). It will cost me more (and take much longer) to produce the required moldings and braces to fit the style kit onto the rear bumper.
