Default Body Kit Dilemma?!?!?!?

Well, I've narrowed it down to 2 choices. I am torn between 2 body kits and I'm not sure which to get for my 2007 Z.........Nismo or Vertex????

So I wanted to get the thoughts and opinions of everyone to see what you all think. Below are some pics of fellow member rides I found on here so you all could look at and tell me what you think. One thing to point out is; the pictures of the Nismo body kit has the V1 front. If I were to go with Nismo, I'd get the V2.

So here you go....have at it.

NISMO BODY KIT:




VERTEX BODY KIT:

I love how the Vertex kit looks. Nismo is good too but for some reason vertex looks the cleanest for me XD

Default I'd go with Nismo...

But you should look at the clearance issue on going on lifts, or for maintenance. Nothing like having some shop crack you sweet side skirts when working on your car. Also look at the down force in the front. Just incase you hit some high speeds, it always helps to have a bit of friction on the front tires for handling, or getting out of the way from a Dee-Dee-dee driver. Also incase you put in a oil cooler, intercooler, or brake rotor ducts. Having the space already in the bumper is awsome. Her is a pic of my front end. Body Kit Delima?!?!?!?-front-bumper.jpg

Vertex man...it's still one of the best and cleanest bodykits for the Z.
Half the members here rock Nismo(including me)..that's too many out there.
My setup will actually be combination of Nismo V2, ings N-Spec sides and rear mix.

Id have to say vertex. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry has the Nismo kit these days. I'd say go with the one kit that looks clean and not many have.

Oh btw, what kind of exhaust do you have?
I hope you don't have stock, Nismo, or anything around that size.
Cuz if you decide to get Vertex, those exhuasts will look PUNY on that rear bumper. (just like that pic of rear with stock exhuast you posted)

vertex ftw .... but if you get the vertex kit i would get the full rear bumper, side skirts , and the front lip... the front looks alot more clean with the lip from vertex....

as far as exhaust goes.....

yeah i noticed the stock exhaust in the one pic of the vertex rear. i didn't like that........looks weak.

i definitely plan on changing out the exhaust. right now im looking at the AAM 3'' True Dual Exhaust and the HKS Hi Power Ti Exhaust......yet another dilemma.

My vote is for vertex, check out the Vertex gallery for better examples. +10 on an aftermarket exhaust though. Other thing you might want to consider is availability. Authentic vertex pieces are hard to come by, usually a long wait. Also look into the Nismo V2 front w/ the nismo sides and rear.

Yeah, was about to say, it's a Blitz. Thinking of getting one? Almost impossible to find.

BTW, to the OP, get the Vertex full.
