Default MSA 7 S-tune GT Replica kit

Has anyone pre-ordered the Nismo Replica body kit from Motorsport Auto (a sponsor of this forum, www.zcarparts.com)? Does anyoone know if the side skirts replace the OEM side skirts? I don't particularly like the attached lip rear bumper but would rather go with the Nismo Version I rear fins look instead.

Please post any information about this kit because I am in debate over this kit and piece mealing the Aerosync/KurumaZ front bumper with Nismo Version I side skirts and rear fins.

That's not a replica of the Nismo V. 2 front, it's done in the style of the longnose Type-E that was released in VERY limited numbers in Japan.

I'm debating doing this bumper in the future as well, it looks very smooth, almost stock.

Looks nice, clearly based on the type-E Nismo (as stated above). Seams like a cheap alternative for some enhanced looks

The rear under spoiler bumper looks good and clean to!

i'm likin this front bumper!!! I think the original type-E is a little too long for my taste, but this is a great compromise! anyone have a good side shot of it?

Does it include the Z badge in front?

Default Motorsport MSA Type 7 body kit?

Anyone have any experience with this kit? All uretahne stuff and priced pretty cheap. I LOVE that front bumper! Is it original or a copy of another kit?

Ineresting... says the sides go OVER existing body??? They look like replacement skirts to me... Hmm, urethane US Nismo style sides for only $279... sweet. Look identical, except for the omission of the body line (which I think looks funny on the US skirts B/C the humps extend above and distort it).

Ah, I thought I'd seen it somewhere before. I like the short version SO much better!

Not really looking to debate which kit looks better, so lets try to stay on topic. I want to know if anyone has any experience with this kit at all or the company.

I just called them and am waiting on a call back for more info. I'll post what I find out. I'm REALLY feeling this kit. The real S-Tune GT kit was way over the top for me, but this toned down interpretation looks great!

Ok, so I'll THINK about this kit... in the meantime, I have a v1 lip and was planning on Nismo sides (or the ones in this kit) and have a v1 rear skirt about to be painted. Reconsidering the lip... if I ws to keep my v1 front lip and go with Nismo sides, which would look better, the v1 rear or the rear from this kit?

Didn't get a call back. Nice old lady that answeres said they had a car show today, so they were out. I sent an email requesting detailed info. and I may call them Monday. The more I look at this kit, the more I want it. I'd probably just get the front bumper and rear skirt and get ral Nismo sides, as they are full replacement skirts, rather than go-overs; I like how they omitted the body line in them, though. Very clean. Any idea what a kit like this would cost to paint???
