The 370Z already looks like it has an aftermarket body kit on it...now this looks like someone stuck a body kit on top of a body kit. All I can hope is that it is extremely functional in producing downforce and/or reducing lap times so that it at least has one redeeming feature.

Ugly wheels, not really feeling the spolier and I hate those stupid teeth in the front grill.

Doubtful in the first few years of 370Z production. They will sell the S tune parts for sure.

Wheels look decent but that whole kit is god awful. Any specs on the wheel sizes/offsets/weights? I'd like to see more shots of the full Nismo exhaust too.

It's not bad, but for gods sakes did they miss the brakes?

Here's Nismo's explanations of why the kit is designed as it is for the 350z, but as the 370z kit goes, both are very similar in basic design.

Im interested in those tires that are equipped on this car. Are the rims on that 380 version the same size as the Nismo Z that we have in America? (I have one.) Looking at tirerack.com, they have 245/40 for the front but for the rears they dnt have 265, just 275/30/19? What could i do?

What is the deal with Nismo Z's having the protruding back bumpers. I'm sure they're functional, but look terrible (and the functionality is probably VERY minimal)

Love the wheels though!

Not feeling it. Don't think this is actual nissan though. Small calipers and looks like decals on wheels. I like the wing though.

You can do 275/35/19 or 285/35/19

I understand that Sensi- But the Bridgestones on that Nismo are 275/30/19...would putting on 275/30/19 on the factory nismo rim be bad? Because i know the fronts are 245/40/18, in which they make the bridgestone for that size.
