Will there be a system of forced induction attached to it as well?

Absolutely, huge thanks to taurren, craigo'sznprgrs and jesse at turbo-kits.com btw.

I want to add myseld to the F/I list SO bad but it would be cheating until I'm actually F/I.

Now i'm debating UTEC vs e manage ultimate...I have a PC in the car so the advantage of the map selector isn't that big of a selling point for the UTEC...

Not driving the car for 6 months has been hell!! I really need the car finished soon or I'll go insane

Havent driven my Z for atleast 6 months either due to winter and mods, but now spring is here and my mods should be on the car within 2 weeks!

It's outrageous. I would only get that body kit or any widebody kit if I had some turbo to back it up with. You don't want to drive around in such an over-the-top body kit without having some power to back it up with.

Bottom line: I like it, but only would do it if my car was turbo.

Second, with a nick like jinsei...consider the source! I mean come on..here's another word for you..otaku

Third, why the hate? I own a Z, you own a Z..it's harder to build bridges than burn them...give it a shot.
lol, you pwn3d me!!!

but of course, to each their own, the kit is just not my preference...don't mind me, i have internet-Terrets Syndrome (spelling)

Same here, I knew that I'd have to get a turbo with this kit so I ordered the turbonetics kit, and I didn't just get the turbo for the kit...

Here's a photoshop of a finished car(not my car)

Don't know, to each their own I guess. The front just looks SO top heavy and out of place. Looks like the car can eat up a couple of small children

When it's done you can start a small business up north plowing driveways in the winter. Help pay for the money you wasted on the kit.

I usually dont criticize but this makes Fast and Furious kits look modest

It actually looks like Venom when he's about to fight Spidey with his mouth wide open.

I'll admit the purpleish (Brickyard or Itergaloose Fire (sp?) ) looks good, I just don't feel it on the silver. Both of those bodykits ZlleH posted are pretty hawt. The rear and sides are nice, I wonder how a different wide body front bumper would flow with that kit.

Rear looks nice (I like the Strosek wing too...). Front is.... VERY agressive. I hope you at least paint the coolant overflow tank and washer fluid reservoir black; looks like crap to be able to see them through the bumper so clearly.

So does that bumper cover actually retain the car's real BUMPER behind it, or did it have to be removed?

It's actually a complete bumper replacement...

I promise you guys will like the kit a whole lot more when you see it on my car with the JP wing. I wish I could share pics with you but at the moment I am in Milwaukee and the car is in FL.

You chose an excellent kit.. the lines flow and thats what makes or breaks a kit on this car despite what the usual few are saying....

I'm actually installing the non XL version on my sunset ZR... Is your car lowered and if so how low was the kit after you installed it?

Next time your up in Orlando drop by, OZOC has their meets posted I'd like to see your ride.

Yea, I have 36 way coilovers with a 4" adjustable ride height. The kit is very low on stock springs!! So low in fact that it is what prompted me to do coilovers in the first place.

Where did you buy your kit from?
