the one on the top right of the bumper is the Varis Air Duct...it goes for around $140 but is usally way backordered....the vents in the middle of the bumper I have never seen before but it seems as though it is part of that front end....and I have never seen that body kit before...

if you know the name of that body kit please let me know because it is kinda nice...for a widebody kit.....

That looks like a Varis duct...

The middle one however...I believe is apart of Blitz's front bumper.

BTW, when are they going to sell that widebody? It would be a good alternative to the Veilside.

The varis air duct shows the 4 screws holdn the duct on doesnt it? this one doesnt seem too.
The body kit itself (front bumper, sideskirts, and rear bumper) is Esprit, the bodykit i bought and is about to be painted now . Will post pics soon once done. but anyway.
The fenders are veilside. So thats why u thought it was veilside . Like veilside would come out with something that looks that good :P.

Now who makes that middle air duct? blitz? where could i contact them? Do they have a site?

It's Esprit??

As far as the Varis duct...it's a show car, they probably either painted over them or covered them with fiberglass and painted it black.

The middle air duct...i'm not sure, it looks custom.

Yep its esprit, just like this kit


Ya i will just spray paint the screws i guess. How long should a job like that take, Cutting out and installing it? Iam gonna have a shop do it, and dont want to get over priced on how long it should take.

Ya i really want that middle air duct as well, figures, what i really want, cant have .

Anyone know what rear fenders they put on that Silver Esprit Z?
It doesnt look like the veilside, and it wouldnt make sense to put the veilside considering the esprit rear bumper is a lip, and it would NOT flow well with the Veilside fenders IMO.

Hrm... Iam curious on how that looks on the rear, and i cant find ANYMORE pictures from that show... if anyone else wants to look go ahead, it was from the Tokyo Auto Salon 2005 show.
Apparently that is Esprits car, that dropped a r33 gtr TT engine in the Z, and is push like 705 at the wheels or something. So if its esprits car.. iam guessing they would use their whole body kit right? So they would use their rear, so i wanna see how that looks .

They might have fiberglassed a cover over the "slot" in the back of the rear fender...so it would blend in better.

Damnit! i wanna make my car like that, but i aint that rich! lol
What about the end of the rear fender part? Looks like it it flows with the veilside rear bumper, idk if that would work with the esprit rear bumper.

Anyway, nis350ztt i would <3 you forever if you found out who makes that Middle air duct , and give me info on how to get it

that's not the varis air duct. I have the varis air duct and it's that wide. that is the mine's air duct and it's like $300-$400 just for that piece.

Uhh i highly doubt that is Esprits wide body kit. If it is, they just added Fenders that look EXACTLY like veilsides.
Compare the two. Notice how it flows into that lip?



And ya that is Mines are duct i guess... but what about the middle air duct? Who makes that?
Why are mines air duct so much more expensive then like varis?
How much smaller is the varis then mines? Cause i like the mine, but paying an addition 200+ just for like 1/2 inch more isnt worth it IMO.

IMO Its not a Varis duct, Its the Mine's air duct...The Mine's has a wider opening and only attaches via double-sided tape.

i believe that the middle part is custom. the whole kit is custom. they molded an esprit kit with a VS version 3 over fender kit. i checked the hyper rev books and it's not a JDM part avbl. check with the major replica makers:

seibon
carbon creations

The kit itself, like front, sides, and rear which i cant see, are all esprit ya. But it being a new kit.. i doubt that. Look at the fenders, they are clearly Veilside fenders, its distinct little side lip gives it away. Because i know from havn a Esprit kit myself, that the front bumper does not have that lip, so it is obvioulsy the fender overlappn it. And i doubt esprit would come out with a wide body kit, that lookes like they took their old kit and slapped on veilside fenders. They would atleast make custom fenders.
