Actually, that's the R-Tune kit.

Zyal-

Are you getting the R-Tune kit or the S-Tune kit? I think there would be a lot of interest from the community to hear about the R-Tune kit if that is what you are going to do.

your Right....R-Tune---the R-tune kit is Carbon Fiber I believe

S-Tune is probably Polyurathane(REAL NISMO)--not FRP or Fiberglass like the NISMO "look" kits!

Looks pretty phatty either way,..but painted all one color is the JAM!!!

damn I can't wait--seeing pic;s is killin me!! only have a few more days till its here!

Is it the picture doing something wierd, or is that a custom hood as well? Are you getting that too? Is that a CF or light weight hood?

-Front fascia is not different enough to justify spending 800 to change it. The least they could have done was to remove the indentation for the nissan logo!

-wheels are simple five spoke with no special catch to draw my attention. i would spend MY two grand on I FORGED.

-Spoiler is too angular on a car with such smooth lines. It looks like a pep boys add-on
If that is forgivable the attachement struts are not. They do not blend with the car and remind me that it is an add on and not part of the car.

-the skirting and the lips are tasteful, but hey there are plenty of other manufacturers that can give you carbon fiber for less.

thats my opinion.

Im not doing any engine work or anything like that. Im only doing the CF body kit and the wheels. Ill also probably have suspension to go with that. Decals are iffy right now. Also, ive been looking into the hood and can't find any info on it right now. Ill let yall know updates as i go along.

P.S.- I have a friend in Japana who can get me this stuff realy quick at a good price! Thats why i decided to make my car look like this. Im trying to get it to be all nismo. Im going to wait to see if they have plans for Turbo kit!

they look really good, but I wouldn't spend that much cash on a kit that doesnt change that much. there are gonna be similar lip kit out in the future for less than half the price.

Where are you getting your info?

the real Stune body kit from Nismo is FRP, so is the replica kit.

they are not polyurethane.
