Dude, I hate to break this to you, but it is also about 7,000$ (but you probably know that). And shipment and body work, well you got the drift. And all it will get you is the exotics set saying "look at this broke-*** loser who cannot afford a real Aston Martin". This is a very expensive version of the neon windshield fluid squerter lighting...
What the hell are you going to do with it? You'll rule HIN this year, you'll be out of date next year. You'll wait for three month for a replacemnt part in case of an accident too. And you'll be stuck driving the Z with a bone stock power b/c now you are too broke to do any performance work...
Don't even bother with this wannabe kit. The Z is too good-looking as is. Invest money in brakes/suspension/power. Then go out there and leave that Aston guy wondering how the hell did that rice rocket just spank him silly...
But then again, what do I know? I myself have a soft spot for the BRS Autodesign Version I widebody...
I would just lose that train rail in the front and shave the rivets... And maybe filled in the seams between the kit and the cars' body... And rolled or cut the original fenders underneath the flares and stuffed like 315s all around... Oh boy, imagination takes flight... Now I think I want one...http://www.brs-autodesign.com/projec...widebody-1.htm

The kit is ugly, but I do like their other kit that costs about 1/3 of the price of that Black x Metal kit. Uber aggressive looking, and perfect for a car with a twin turbo.

We have build a DAMD Black X Metal 350Z over here in Germany, here are some pics (change number from 7154-7166 to view all):
http://www.quantumautosport.com/imag...3/DSC07154.JPG
What I can tell you is that the quality and fittment is next to perfect, unseen yet. The downside is that the OEM or any aftermarket exhaust with stock tip position will not fit. OEM muffler can NOT be modified to fit, we tried. Only true dual exhausts can be modified in order to fit (we used a Borla TD (also removed the chrome outer shell of the tips).
It is a very expensive kit that consist only of a front and rear bumper (no side skirts) and requires also a new exhaust with additional modification (or you order the $$$ DAMD exhaust). We were a little disappointed that there was no billet grill for the rear, like for the front. On the early pics of that kit on a black car one got the impression the rear also comes with a billet grill but this is not the case. It was only the light reflection on the black color. For the price of this kit it could have been expected though.
