Those aren't m3 style mirrors...they're Ganador CF mirrors, and they cost a pretty penny (around $600). Google for "ganador 350z" and you'll find them. I believe someone in here (Phatmitzu) has them also.

any pics of the back?...i think the front looks great, but the sides might take a while to get used to...maybe the rear bumper can seal the deal for me

The Mirrors are Ganador Aero Mirrors. They come in paintable, fake carbon fiber (yuck), and full real carbon fiber. (price varies obviously)

I don't have any info/pics on the rear yet. All Smoky told me so far is that he wanted this kit to be simple, clean, and functional. For those of you who have posted support, thank you. For those of you who don't like it, like I said, it takes a little time to grow on you sometimes, but the lines of the kit (if you look in detail) are much more sophisticated than they appear at first glance.

About the sideskirts, this kit is similar to our G35 widebody. as I don't have any rear shots, I can't see if they have outlets in them but as you can see in the pic below, the side skirts are more than just looks...

Whoa Smoky has plans for N/A tuning the Z. I heard a lil bit of a buzz about that a few months ago. Maybe some ITBs Defintley got my attention on the N/A parts. Keep us posted.

Luis! what up mang!

Uh, pick one up for you? or ship one home to your house for you???

If you give me all the info i need (for shipping) and what you want, ill sure do my best to get you one. You might want to check Bulletproof or another JDM vendor who might be able to get this for you (perhaps cheaper since they ship stuff from Japan all the time)

Let me know - Squad sticks together man

for the G35 wide body, yes i can see how venting would be functional.

for the non widebody Z version, they're just for looks. you can see from the first series of pictures you posed, there aret any vents cut in the fender liner to route air from the front of the side skirts... i'm interested in seeing what you guys did for the rear to flow with the rest of the kit.

the nose looks like an upside down stillen front bumper.

I think it looks simple, clean, and nice... can't wait for someone to slap it on their Z.

Any shots of the rear??
