that website has a really bad rep around these boards. i haven't personally ordered from them though.

refer to this thread: https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-nissan-350z/140785-beware-350zforums-org.html

Also, +1 people having lots of issues with them.

Really ... I didnt see it on your site. What would be the price for the entire vis kit minus the rear wing + the nismo fender flares? (all fiberglass not carbonfiber)

What about their "CF" kit? Is the fitment as good as the FG?

hey jason i actually just spoke with tony about that kit. i was wondering how you felt the fitment of the kit was. is the kit predrilled or do you have to have a body shop drill the holes? do the sides and front just bolt right up with no modifications? how durable would you say it is? is it in an install i could do myself? im mechanically inclined and have jacks and jackstands. thanks for your help jason.

No need for jack stands... but you have to beable to drill the holes in the rite places ot get it to fit without cracking...

you have to drill holes so the fittment is good...

The fit of Carbon Fiber kits in general is better then regular fiberglass becuase there is no possilbe way to prep-mold carbon fiber body kits.. they have to fit good...

I recomend having a body shop install it...

carbon fiber kits are genearlly more durable because it has the carbon fiber which is very strong re-enforcing the fiberglass... my front bumper has been brushed, coned, etc and it still stayed in tact... if it was a fiberglass bumper it would have shattered apart...

I had a stock spoiler too...

as long as it is a JDM Replica wing it will cover the holes...

the USDM NISMO Wing will NOT cover the holes...

So how good would you rate the carbonfiber kit on a scale of 1 to 10 ?

How about th fiberglass kit ? 1 to 10?

with all replicas you can never gurantee fit / quality...

generally the NISMO Replica Kits we sell are...

Carbon Fiber - 8/9
Fiberglass - 7/8

The quality of the actual fiberglass parts though... are never a perfect 10 either...

ALL fiberglass needs prep work done so it looks good on the car.. Its never as easy as OEM...
