what do you guys think of this bodykit?
I'm considering putting this kit on my car... not 100% sure just yet. I own a MotorSport shop in Tempe, AZ and am putting my car together for the World of Wheels show in March. My car is more show than go although we're installing headers and exhaust right now. I also plan on shaving handles, rear wiper and antenna (I listen to XM). I have a full Audio/Video system already installed... it sounds great... I have TV/DVD and all that. Anyway this is really about the kit.
Any and all comments welcome.
Thanks guys.

It's made by a company called 3T Motorsport. They mostly do Porsche, Volks and Mercedes stuff... I think this is their 1st venture into the Z... I liked it because it's suttle. These pics are from SEMA.

Looks good. I would even go as far as putting the front in the top 5 of all of the kits I have seen. Personally I would never spend that much on a fiberglass kit because I would be afraid of cracking it.

^ I'm with teh215, $2K IMO is way to much to spend on a fiberglass kit (regardless of construction). Don't get me wrong, it is one of the best looking kits I've seen. Put it in urethane and knock about $700 off of the price and then I'd consider it. Just my $0.02
BTW: Do you have any better pics of the sides and rear of the kit?

I think its kind of pricy also... the pics I have are from the manufacture... that car was in their booth at SEMA. The back and the sides are real suttle... to the point where you can barely notice there's a kit. It just basically takes off the mud guards and ads a little bit. But sorry those are the best pics available.
I wish it was Urethane would feel much better about spending the money.

That kit looks great. The fiberglass concern is legitimate, but you mentioned this is gonna be a show car. I'm assuming that means you won't be daily driving it, so you should be fine. Definitely post pics of it if you decide to go with it man!

i LOVE that front bumper. are those big side ports functional, ie, do they all feed into the engine bay? it would be great if they did.
ps: i don't think its subtle at all...those ports on each side are asking, no, demanding to race. i'm gonna buy that bumper when the price comes down to a realistic level.
pps: somebuddy pls make a replica tomorrow!

If you just want the front bumper I can get it for you... Like I mentioned I'm a dealer for these guys but the total kit was kind of pricey for Fiberglass. I thought it was subtle due to the side skirts and rear valance... they're ain't much design going on their... the front is by far my favorite.
I didn't actually look at the front bumper to see if it was cut thru however I do think it was functional. I can find out for your if interested.
If you want a price on it just the bumper PM me.

I actually live in the East Valley but my Shop is in the Tempe, Scottsdale area.. not to far from the ASU campass.
Bell Rd is about 20 mins away... it's really gotten crowded on that side of town... thats the cool new place to live now.

Bumper looks Badass. BTW, what part of Phoenix do you live in? My parents lived right off Bell and 60th St in Scottsdale.
