Default Anyone seen Nismo front w/ vertex sides & rear?

I'm contemplating on this setup... but i am not too sure about the sides and rear lining up with the nismo front. I searched and found nothing... for reference i have the Aerosync full front bumper... maybe someone can photochop one with the vertex sides and rears? or if anything any one else got combos with the nismo front besides the nismo kit of course? TIA

I havnt seen it but i can see it matching well. Ive seen nismo w/ greddy gracier side skirts and damn does it look hot. vertex has better sides than greddy imo so i can imagine it looking better.

The problem lies in find someone who has a vertex kit and is looking to sell the sides, because you cannot purchase the kit piece by piece.

If you hate the Nismo rear only,what you can do is get the Nismo front (which you have the Aerosync already), JDM Nismo sides, and Top Secret rear mud guards.



Another option is Nismo front/sides, and for the rear get the Elia-AG, which basically looks like the INGS N-Spec rear bumper, except it's just a valance instead of a full replacement rear bumper. Plus it looks like what the Nismo rear would have looked like if it were not just two small add-ons.

Where can you purchase the Elia-AG? I've never seen it before, but I really like the looks of it... exactly like you described, the INGS kit as just a lip.

Actually you can, you just have to ask. Contact Vertex USA (aka Speed Alliance) & ask for Dat Nguyen. That's where my Vertex kit came from & Dat was really helpful. In fact, he is also a Z owner sporting this kit. The problem is waiting for the kit since it has to be ordered from Japan.

I'm not sure where to purchase it from, but you can visit their website:
http://www.elia-ag.de


I think it goes really well as an alternative to the Nismo pieces. This is what the Nismo rear should have looked like:

honestly not a fan of replicas but i looked into the JDM nismo sides and they cost a lot man, kinda makes you just want to suck it up and live with the USDM ones... anyone know who makes a replica JDM nismo sides?

i also like the Top Secret mud guards. i remember seeing that. thanks guys for helping out.

another good option for the rear if you don't like the Nismo is the Cwest or VIS imitiations.

I've seen these in person on a car with nismo sides and front lip, and everything flows well, and looks good.

We tried in late '04 when were building Adam's car and they told us that they wouldn't sell the sides seperately, maybe things have changed since then.
