New holes are mandatory. I know what you mean though. I marked and checked and rechecked the locations. It's so nerverakcing drilling through new paint.

You're definately going to have to tell us how everything goes with the tein flex suspension especially with the edfc. That's awesome man; I'm so jealous.

Anytime John. We should try to set something up. "The Rat's Z" is from Sacto too.

I'm looking at all the same stuff you've got comin' except the exhaust. I'm waitin to see how the Greddy dual exhaust turns out. If not the Greddy, I'll probably get the Amuse.

Thanks bud.

You are right about specifics not being available for the 350z but the same options apply. If you go to katzkin.com the colors are all shown out there. You can get any combination as well as perforated or Suedskin if you want. Also look for a local dealer to get the price question answered. Skidazzle payed less than I did for the same package (different colors though). It seems that the installer has price flexibility.

my guy told me... 1 price no matter which color or combo of 2 colors. i paid extra for color stitching, though.. it was $860 including 8.5% tax.

Shaun: Have you put on the rear skirts yet? I was thinking after seeing your pics without them, that I may just save the $ and go with just the wing and the side skirts. I already have the Top Secret front diffuser on the way so I also save about 3-4 hundred bucks by not getting the front bumper/spoiler assembly (i.e the TS diffuser is about 400 less). What is your opinion. Does it look good even without the rear skirts in person?

Default Love to see it on WhiteZ!!!!

that is the best!! I like that you didn't put the rear valances on too!!
I love blk as well,...but I still haven't see it on white(Nismo Kit)
If only the whiteZ w/ the 19"rays had that kit on it too,.OH GOD! That would have been the best Z I've seen!!

Well Bonz, I put one on but had some issues so I took it back off temporarily.

Here's the issue:
Each piece attaches by using 1 existing bot under the rear fender, 1 bolt that goes into a hole that you must drill under the fender, and doublestick tape on the top part of the piece that sticks to the body of the car. In my case, I used 2 layers of doublestick tape and the tape still did not touch the body. This is because there is a lip on the edge of the peice that effectively covers the tape when installed on the car. The lip is too deep and touches the body before the tape does, even with 2 layers. Keep in mind this is foam tape with 2 sticky surfaces so it has some thickness. So I figure I'm gonna file down the lip so that the tape will stick to the car and put the peice back on.

The look:
IMO the car looks good with or without the rear pieces. I think the car might also look pretty good with factory rear splashguards instead of the rear skirts. But I already have the rear skirts and the car does look a little more aggresive with them on so I am gonna go through the BS to install them.

If in the end I change my mind, I can always take them back off and only have a small hole hidden under eac side of the car where they'll never bee seen. (I'd probably use some bumper plugs to plug them)

if you swap from factory splash guards to the nismo rear skirts, you will have an exposed hole from where they drilled the quicknut for the splashguard... luckily someone will have to break theor neck to see it

yep.. mine seem to fit fine when i test fitted them before painting... you can do a search to see pics...

or look here:

the top seems to be off the body, but thats without the 2nd bolt or the tape... when i used my finger with gentle pressure, it came out flush..
