Sorry folks... hate to break it to ya but 80% of that kit is rice... the spoiler is a big no no... look - it's not a GT-2... it's a 350Z! I like the split piece for the front intake... I can deal with those rims... but com'on... the side skirts ... um... The suspension kit I'll go for and maybe some DECENT looking skirts... the more compact and lower the better. I'll agree - rear tires need more umph... 9.5 to 10s.

the car does look much better in the gran turismo photos. it must be because the car is lower in the photos. and the wheels are nicer. and the inward wheel thing isn't there anymore.

I think if the rear spoiler doesn't look as big and doesn't have the sharp bend toward the ends, it will look better. I don't mind the bar that holds it in place but it may look better if it is lower set. I agree the splitter in front of the grill looks good.

Just my $0.02

Sigh. Are they doing this to punish me? What did I ever do to them? I don't have the car yet. I can't get the car yet, and I can't get the car for a long time because I decided to be "smart" and wait till it came out to look at it. Now, they come out with the first after market rear spoiler I have EVER seen that I actually liked. Next they'll be showing the $6000 waranteed supercharger that bumps the Hp to 375... I can tell this a is an evil plot to separate me from every cent I've ever saved, and make me thank them for doing it....

I really like that front grille however the splitter is just an accident waiting to happen (Crack!!). I wonder if you can just get the new grille treatment.

Thumbs down

I am so dissapointed in NISMO for these OUTRAGEOUS-A** prices I just don't know what to do!
I mean are they trying to make up for us getting a fair price on a nice car or what? Now the only items I would even consider buying are performance related: exhaust, intake, suspension, but hell I guess I'll be waiting for alternate vendors to jump aboard (and believe me they will!) and offer similar products at fairer pricing.................

There is something about the nismo concept for the Z.

And that divider bar. Looks like its part of the bumper rather than something you simply bolt on.

At the speeds that red racer could go I gurantee you would want that wing on there from a functional perspective.

TXSTYLE...what specifically do you think is outrageously priced? Do you just mean the body kit? I thought all of the prices seem generally in line with other after-market prices. Have you ever checked the prices on Spoon or Mugen products?

Go here to see what it costs to 'Mugenize' an S2000.
http://kingmotorsports.com/products/mugen/s2000/

People are willing to pay a little more for a big name aftermarket supplier that is tied into the OEM...I know I am. This stuff isn't junk...you're basically being assured that it is as good as OEM quality. Additionally, if you are patient enough to wait for distribution in the US through dealers, you'll get a warranty to boot. This isn't that 'one-off' crap from the black and white pages of Sport Compact Car magazine...know what I'm sayin?

It says its 450 ps (about 444 HP) and considering it looks like the interior is stripped (its a race car and would be light) that car would be hella fast and would benefit from aerodynamic help to keep its *** on the ground at 150+ MPH.

Remember... the Nismo version is a RACE CAR :-).

I'll happily fork over whatever for the Suspension kit (lower please - thank you), Exhaust kit (growlingerrrr - thank you), and wheels (lighter and wider please - thank you). Wheels gotta come from somewhere else but everything else comes from Nismo. Then when the GT-R comes out... love ya long time Z...
