Does anyone have experience with these from nissanraceshop.com:
Nismo GT2 brake duct kit with NACA ducts...$115/set.
I came across them via a google search for Nismo 350Z brake duct. Clearly a more simplified design, but much more affordable for the hobbiest track-goer.
I'm trying to outweigh the benefits of buying the still affordable Nismo CF duct kit or making my own of a similar design (which is obviously more effort on my part, but it wouldnt cost me much more than sourcing the hoses), but with this other kit as an option, $115 for an effective brake cooling setup is hard to pass up.

Looks like someone at the Nissan dealership was a little ambitious with promoting their ducts. The only thing that exists of the photo is the photo itself. The part pictured is NOT part of the kit and is not available.
The part number referenced is the Nissan Motorsports intake duct and tubing kit. No backing plate.
Looks like the carbon fiber part is the only one on the market.

You can buy this NISMO nose. Carbon/Kevlar. We have 1 left that was a pre-production run. It's the bare one in the photos. The carbon wasn't layed out well, so it needs to be primed and painted. It takes a ton of weight off the nose and will help move weight balance rearward.

Didn't think the carbon nose is too great of a plan, but the carbon V3 wing looks like a deal. Is it an entire wing or just the main element like the MCR?

That's an 'introductory price' that won't last too long on the wing.
The upper element of the wing is all carbon. 4 layers of carbon with a structural resin system. It's UV clear coated. The middle and lower elements are primered fiberglass and meant to be painted. We're just getting the info together on the wing.
This is the same wing we make and resell through Nissan Motorsports for Grand Am competition. It's the exact same thing as the NISMO wing, just in carbon/fiberglass... and much lighter.
We'll be eventually making the middle and lower element in carbon, although the price wil be much higher.
The NISMO rear bumper cover, side skirts and lower front lip (all in carbon/Kevlar) will be up later this week.
