ok, i have been tossing the idea around about doing a body kit. i have a ton of experience with fiberglass and it would not be too hard for me to prototype one. i'm thinking of only doing a front bumper replacement and a sick rear diffuser for the stock rear bumper. there are so many styles of rocker panels out there, it would be a waste of time to make another, unless i found a way to make functional rear brake ducts in it.
ok, so, front bumper. i will be making it very open in the front to accomadate very good radiator and/or intercooler airflow. options will include a brake cooling kit, and adjustable carbon fiber air splitter. i will also be doing a different front fender that will round out the rear of the front wheel well, kind of like imsa style i guess.
now, i would like to get input from you guys as to the styles that everyone likes. not the most expensive or the most rare, but just the styles of current shapes and things like that. i personally like the vertex, for the simplicity and contours that work good with the car and doesn't look goddy or excessive. the front end of the new "rado" scion tc widebody kit is the look i like. simple yet demonic.
i will prolly start on the rear diffuser first as i think this is a part needed more than another front bumper.
target materials is to be abs in a vacuum form.

ideas? wants?

btw-i built a one off body kit for the vettes and got a very good responce with it on the vette forums but never went into production. i will make this stuff for my car first, then if responces are good, i will produce them. don't look for it in a week or 2, lol. this takes a lot of time to do.

 

I like this rear. Not sure if it's functional though.

 

Lets see it man

 

I already have a kit, but it seems like this one is already designed and there appears to be a market for it:

What rear diffuser is that? and I'd be interested in rear diffuser that accomodates stock bumper as well.

 

+1, but without the fog lights

 

I like the fogs in that kit; very unique and distinctive. That is one sick-@ss kit concept; somebody NEEDS to produce it!

XuperXero, that rear skirt is the Veilside v1.

 

I think a rear functional diffuser would be awesome. Something for those who change the stock exhaust. maybe a full diffuser kit. Let us know

 

I'm a fan of the Top Secret/ Do-Luck/ Kei office, and I guess the Vertex bumper can be thrown in there as well.
The simplicity of those bumpers is what I like

+1...i would be in for this kit if it would fit an 06, any ideas what the rear would/could look like?

 

will be going for something similar to the top secret diffuser. so far they are the only ones i have seen making one. it would extend all the way to the diff. cover underneath the car.

 

What would we talking about price wise for this?

 

i will post pics of the perfect combo (i know it my opinion though) but im working now but at home i have a pic of i think a video game body kit i posted here and on 350zfrenzy.com, also another person wanted to make a sweet rear diffuser made out of carbon, when i get a chance i will post the pics but the combo of the kit would be amazing and i would buy the setup for sure.

 

That is the only kit I would put on my Z now....Someone has to make this...The headlight treatment looks meaner than the stock look as well...Someone has designing skills....Overzealous1 if you make this kit in URETHANE Ill buy it.....

 

No hope of making a good aftermarket hood huh?

Liking the fog's on the above kit but the bumper itself is kind of bland. Thumbs up to the cf looking headlights too.

 

really no clue as of this point. it definately won't be ebay cheap though. which ever process i decide to go with, abs or fiberglass, it is completely a mess and would fill my shop with stuff instantly. so i will be looking for someone else to be making it.

 

i agree, that is a totally awesome prototype. but there is alot of stuff going on in that pic that make it look awesome outside of the body kit. shaved door handles, flares, side pods, headlights, 20-22" wheels and dumped. hard to vision how it would look on a real Z. that car appears to be widened and not in correct proportion, could be wrong though.

 

I would have to agree that the posted concept is by far the best kit I have ever seen. I think it is amazingly clean and yet still agressive. I believe that Noah at AAM was looking at getting it made so I think OZ you may have to check into that since he was kinda scoping what the interest was for that kit. Then he kinda stopped so I don't know. It wouldn't be cool if in the end you both made the same kit. lol.

Other than that I loce the duct work of the INGS+1 Stream kit. Just not the pointy nose.

 

anyone have pics of this kit?
