Sweet looking ride! I'm shooting for the same look with my 06 minus the wing. From the pics, the color match looks perfect. Did the shop have much trouble getting it right?

Cool

Really Nice!

I wonder how the front would look, if the license plate holder was removed.

Did the kit parts come pre-painted from the factory?

I traded in my 04 2 months ago and told the nissan dealership to factor in the price of the body kit into my payments, and that i wanted them to get the parts and have them painted...

The place that did the install and paint is a local place named "collision experts". The paint is flawless.. in fact, i found out as i was buying the car in the financing room that the car had been keyed - some vandals had come up to the dealership and keyed like 20+ z's on the lot.. After hearing that and examining the car, you can't tell AT ALL where it has been repainted, so i went with the same place that fixed the paint for the keyings!!

As for future mods - I said the same thing - nismo suspension (no wheels tho, this set me back 3K!) and shorty antenna - theres a guy that has one that is shorter than the s2000 one and picks up great, and fits the base flawlessly - ill be posting pics of it on my car in a wk or so.

Total - 3000. kit was right at 2k, install and paint was 1k

although the place that did it called over to nissan and told them that the next one like this they do will be no less than 1800..

When the kit came in, it was obvious someone in freight between here and japan didn't like the box very much and decided to step on it - there was a big footprint on the box and the front bumper had 3 hairline cracks in it so the people that did the install had to do the fiberglass wk on the bumper then reinforce it, then paint it, then install - she said it took the tech 4 hrs just on the front bumper..

Like i said, FINALLY AFTER 2 MONTHS!!!

Looks nice, and where in Bama are you? I'd like to see that in person sometime. I'm in Tuscaloosa most of the time, but I'm from B'ham so I'm up there a good bit.

P.S. If you decide to get some rims, I may take the stock ones off your hands.

Rims still look good on the car even with the kit. It'd look even nicer with some spacers and wider tires if you were to keep the stock wheels.
