Default Anyone NOT planning to slap a body kit on their Z?

I was plannign on putting some type of body kit on my Z but now I think I just want to keep it stock...I think the splash guards actually add a somewhat of a kit look to it...why? I have no idea...I just think it looks good with them too.

Anyone else have no plans on adding kits to their car? Seeing so many people on here with kits almost makes me feel like I have to for some reason.

I will definitely not be adding a body kit to my Z. She's damn sexy just the way she is.

I dont have a Z yet but when i get mine i am going with just the mud guards. Does a front lip and NISMO wing count? I love the Veilside V1 cf lip and the NISMO wing

I don't plan to do any body kit changes to my ZR, but I do like the grill I saw on ssk0771's car:

I'm thinking about doing this, but I haven't told my wife yet

werd...thats what I'm thinking...looks hot enough stock. Only thing I have is the Stillen grill, clear markers and Z badge up front. I'm gonna put the Stillen wing on it though...its the only wing that looks like it could be stock...I liked the Nismo...but the wife hates it...and I dont like how it attaches.

I would rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than add a body kit to my Z.

It is all about personal taste and I just dont like the looks of them. More power to you if you do like them.

My first plan is new audio video setup, then new rims. As far as the body I know I want to add something to the front fascia, I forget what those are called? Is it lip spoiler or whatever. I am still deciding if I want to add a spoiler on the trunk, if I do it will either be oem or similar. Then again I may not do anything at all.

I hear ya on this one. Call me crazy, but I have no intentions of doing anything to my Z other than a new stereo.
I think it looks fine the way it is, and 287 horse is plenty for me.

It seems some people can never be fast enough. I`ve seen pics and articles of guys tricking out new Dodge Vipers. I think, "What? 500 horse isnt enough for you?" I guess it`s good for tuner companies that a lot of guys are obsessed with being the fastest or never feel there fast enough.
I like to cruise in "pimp mode" myself.

Yeah, car looks awesome as-is. I would be interested in an underbody kit to smooth out some drag.

That, and with the exception of the nismo kit, the kits out there have looked like hell on the Z...




Side note: Why has no one put a mesh grill on a Z yet? I dont mean that ugly mesh that sticks out. I mean a "flush mounted - I cut the plastic things out - mesh grill".

Dont make me be the first, and make ya all jealous

i love the Veilside C1 lip, with the nismo sides. The combo is a win win.
