Default body kit?

I do not have much $ to spend, but i want to make my z stand out. i can afford a kit but don't really have the money to get it painted. if you had $900 to spend on makin a stock z(red) pritty, what would you do?

I would save up and get something worthwhile. If you want to be budget on a bodykit and get something thats merely "pritty," you'll be dealing with fitment issues, cracking issues, and overall poor quality and design. If you can't afford to get it painted, why even bother with a kit, or therefore, even a premium car like the 350z? You have a nice car man... it deserves to have good parts put on it.

What about a carbon fiber kit from Carbon Fiber Creations, you wont need to paint it. I dont know if fitting will be an issue.

I'd lower the car, with shocks and springs. $900 aint much.

Initial D kit.. it's an ings replica and will cost you like $500 or so. but the paint will cost more than the kit. Just get a type R badge, lol.

i'd suggest maybe smoking the head and taillights...it's cheap and an easy DYI...and lower the car...you don't need a bodykit to stand out...wheels are another thing that makes a big change, but you can't get any good ones for $900...get wheels before a bodykit

i think i might get red b pillar overlays from bats, and some red interior accents. after that i'll probably go with a topspeed exhaust. i love the sound of it.

For $900 I'd say get a nice front lip and lower it. You can also get a painted Nismo replica wing for a great price on spoilerdepot.com, not sure about quality from there as I went with a different wing but you probably can do a search here.

i'd say get a lip kit.. nismo,veilside...etc.

or save up money for wide body kit....

but keep in mind that you need some nice 19" or 20" wheels to match w/ the wide body kit...
