I guess you and I have different experiences. Chargespeed and Voltex are aero companies.. so I'm sure they have a better QA process for their kits. Garagemak, Mine's, etc that are tuner shop/companies that have kits made for them or they developed themselves maybe a different story. I'm sure with enough work and know-how you'll be able to fit them just fine.

Not new news or new post. Already a Rocketbunny/ stardast / Garagemak thread
Spoke to Bo about a year ago about the kit, but never pulled the trigger. Depending on how it comes out with you may help me decide if I like the looks. I'm not sure if its wide enough for the cost (IMO)\
It will be interesting to know how much labor needs to be put into it to get it to fit, if any. I know Brian (BMcCann) has put weeks $$$$$ into getting his Stardast to fit and was suppose to be "perfect fit."
yeah, it's one reason i just dont know if I like it. The lines dont flow as well as the stock fenders or a custom widebody bodywork.

As far as the Stardast fit.. it was absolutely perfect and thr most incredible fiberglass work I've laid hands on.. im simply customizing the sht out of everything lol... and reshaping an entire car of parts that aren't meant to fit together at all.... i could have bolted them.on in my driveway..but chose to spent several thousand redoing minor and major things to make.things flow ..so it's perfect

I'm in love with this kit. Looking forward to some finished pics.
I've tried to track down pics of this kit on a black Z but can't for the life of me find one, has anyone seen one and can repost?

where is the best place to buy this? interested mainly in the rear bumper. assuming the rear reflectors and center fog would be sold separate.
found a site online but wasn't clear if it was the rear bumper or rear fender flares as it was called rear adapter - dunno what that is

I was considering exactly the same. Having the garage mak rear, with the reflectors and fog light. Not sure what side skirts I want but was thinking of the Nismo V2 front. Hard to know if it would balance well. It was very difficult to interpret whats included on the websites I visited too.
Also, the front bumper is a modified Nismo V2 with a lip/splitter. It would balance out well, since it'll look pretty much the same! The only difference is the vents by the middle opening and the grill is taken out on the Garage Mak version.

Rear fog light is simply the EVO-R 370Z rear fog light. As for the reflectors...they're actually reflectors with LEDs inside. The quality of the pair I received was very low. I had to order my own LEDs, open up the reflectors, then put them in. I'm not sure where they source it, but the quality can be much better. Just a warning from my experience!
or at least just a 370z oem fog light.. the Garage Mak is 450. Vex008 and Grolsky, you have PMs replied w pricing.. thanks!
