Default Bomex Body Kit for 350z

I was looking on the Z1 website and came across this

http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...or&prodid=1688

It looks exactly like the jp aero kit, who knocked off who?

Just probably the same manufacturer. Bomex dont make knock offs. Usually, they make knock offs of Bomex kits.

I know Bomex has a name for making a good product but in this case I think that kit strays from the natural beautiful lines of the 350z. For some odd reason I look at that kit and see the supra from F&F. But I guess if you like that sorta thing it ain't that bad. To each his own.

Bomex is the originator here. It is basically the exact kit that they have had for years for other cars. Now you Z can look just like 1/2 the MKIV Supras since the F&F.

wtf? how do you see the jp aero kit in that? the bomex kits is rather different... The side inlets are twice the height of the jp aero and there are no lower lip opennings like the jp aero. The foglight circles within the large side inlets are also not apparent in the jp aero. The bomex is a whole different kit.
