The only problems I have had is the on the front bumper, since it is poly, the top part that goes even with the hood kinds of hangs down alittle because of the weight and how flexible it is, I will make alittle support beam for it to hold it up to stay even with the lines. Also there was like two spots were you could tell they did not send to well because the spots kind of bubbled out alittle, nothing you can just see looking at the car, but hell I only paid $1000 bucks for it and it took him 3 weeks to get it this perfect because of all the crap in the fiberglass. The front bumper I would recommend because he had no trouble with it since it was poly, but the sides and rear I would not recommend from 350zforums.org. They are hard to get perfect and it just takes too much time. Also, he said he did'nt have a problem with the back latch like everyone else with the kit has had. I was able to keep all my stock parts on front and rear with alittle work done to the support beams to keep them. Also, he made me custom brackets to hold the bodykit still so there would be no noise from it shaking on the road. He also urthaned the grill onto the bumper. All and all I can not beat it for the money I payed (only $2000 for kit and paint job) and I am not using it for shows really so I am not worried if it is not a show winning paint job, because long as it matchs and it looks smooth with the other paint I am good. I think it could win some shows through around here after going to the show at pomoco nissian and seeing some of those 350z. Sorry for the small pics, I was making sure I could fit all of them up here since they limit the size and space. thanks and hope to see some people at the evolution meets real soon.

Will have more pics up soon, also thinking of putting veilside wide fenders on this to add a wide body look. They will have to be custom cut when I get them to fit with this body kit, but I think it will work after I saw a pic my friend made up of it with his photoshop. Also looking for a good hood to go with this setup. I was looking for a wing but think the stocker is fine for now.

Looks very nice man. I'm going with the veilside 3, I hope it's well built and easy to install. If I were you I would go with the Nismo wing.

Good looking car!

Wow.. Mine is in the shop right now. Same color, same kit.

The bubbles you speak of, are voids in the fiberglass. My bodyshop guy is going over the entire kit and "popping" them all, then repairing the whole thing.

Did you get your paint blended into your fenders/hood?

He just painted the kit off the car. Since the paint was so new, he did not need to blend in. I wonder if I should take it back for him to fix the 3 spot that have voids? It does not really bother me to much, but I wonder if I can still have a chance winning car shows with them being there. It just sucks because my car has been down for 3 weeks and I hate to send her back already under the knife. I went to a car show with some Z's not to long ago and they had paint chips and all kinds of paint errors from lambo doors taking off paint and bending fenders. I know I won't win big shows, but it would make me feel good to win one at least. I will try to take some pics. Anyone else up hear have any imperfections in there paint and still won shows? Thanks
