hope you get a good deal and good job done on the paint.

I think daddy bought u a body kit when you needed other things instead... but her in Louisiana shop rate is at $52/hr and its roughly 3+3 hours to do a front/rear seat up then add a extra 1.5+1.5 hours for the sides... thats roughly $500 JUST for paint labor. not paint materials or instal labor... paint msterials could be an extra 100-200. and yes im sure u can get it done cheaper but cheaper work is shabby work

As long fitment is fine once you have them painted your Z would look a lot better than oem. Maybe a drop will also help. Its your car as long you are happy with it. Good luck with your mods.

I was debating on getting the same pieces.. I would like to see how it looks after you paint them.. are you going for 2 tone paint? I too feel like it needs to be dropped.. If I had a choice between a body kit or a drop.. I would have choosen the drop.. I feel like body kits look odd without a drop.

I had that bumper with canards. Looked ok, but I think it looks cleaner without them. +1 on different wheels.

Idt I'm going to be going with the two tone everything red besides the rear it'll have black on it... About dropping it =/ I'd love to but it'll be hard because of speed bumps and the streets here... Just at the University there's abt 6 speed bumps.. I'll let uk when I have it all done

Speed bumps when you're low really aren't that big of a deal. I sit about 2.5" off the ground and I do just fine. Just cut the speed bump at an angle.

Not really feeling the sides with the rear. The front looks better with Nismo V3, Chargespeed Bottomline, Damd, or Ings sides.

Oh yeah, not a fan of the wheels either. Don't forget to drop it OP.

Default Quick update

SO.... i dropped my car off Tuesday night so that they can start working on it Wed. Today actually passed by the shop and stopped this time to see how things were going and they said very little was needed to be done only to the rear bumper, they didnt think fitment was going to be as great as it was! they were finishing up the prep work to have it painted later this afternoon so hopefully getting it back tomorrow

heres a couple of quick pics i snuck in while checking up on it not the best i was moving a little bit SORRY







this last picture shows the crack i had in my trunk lid and bumper dented in =(

Looks like it's in good hands. What brand of tires are you running?
