anyone familiar with VFiber? I wouldn't be in this desperate situation if it were not for the fact Erebuni discontinued the Shogun 941 kit RIGHT when I was ready to order (check it out http://octanemotorsports.chainreacti...oducts_id=1225 )!!
Next to INGS+1 kits, these are the closest I can find to the style I'm looking for.
Help!!!

Hey TwistedZ I just sent the email to you and realized you have a black Z, I didnt mean to make it sound like the Airwalker wont look good on black its just that its a really clean kit and would look really clean on a black Z but be hard to see a lot of the lines.

I say you add to the Airwalker club and go that route, the only thing was after I put it on I wanted some rear addons so I went with the CWEST carbon rears and it completed the kit!!

Ignore my Celica in the background, its the beater...

Good luck PM me if you have any questions!!

Edit: I had a Extreme Dimensions kit on my 1st Celica GTS I owned when I lived in SO Cal (Rancho Santa Marg.) and the front fit ok the sides not so good and the rear was just ok....I would not recommend a cheap kit for the Z. The Airwalker, CWEST and Topsecret kits I know are all tested on a race track/windtunnel etc. So you know that not only are you buying something that makes your car look more exotic and better looking but it is Aerodynamic too!!

I really like the kit and am THRILLED to hear about the fitment. I don't mind too much about not being able to see the detail due to the car color (I actually prefer LESS lines). My main interest was to accomplish a more square look vs the natural rounded Z body, so this might be perfect! I googled the kit and found a site that sells the bumber for $170?!! Is that true?!! Seemed awfully cheap, imo...do you have a vendor you recommend to purchase from? I think I'll get the frnt and sides....looks really really good!! Good job!!

you usually get what you pay for....$170 seems to = poor fitment

BUT you can also pay alot for sh*t! Unfortuately that's what I did on my Mustang kit...If I remember correctly, I think I only spent $2-300 on a Saleen front bumper for my Explorer, and of course Saleen WAY over charges for EVERYTHING!!
I'm probably just wrong on the price though...with my luck anyway

i've sayd these b4

cheap kit + prep/molding cost = cost of perfect fit ready to paint authentic pieces

it will cost you the same except one will give you more downtime and trouble

Ok let me chime in here.....The airwalker is not $170 its $1500 big difference.

The kit is one of the best fitting kits out there. You definately can not get a Airwalker kit 100% Japan for $170, the only place to get the REAL kit is bulletproof Automotive here is the link....Best Kit IMO

Front Bumper $850 plus shipping

Side skirts $650 plus shipping

So the $170 was the shipping, TwistedZ!! LOL

Yeah I was going to say that I dont know of any knock offs on the kit, and it is way more expensive then that!
