Default coming into some cash

Hey all, i am coming into some cash soon and I am going to finally get a bodykit. I am between two,

Shadow sport
kenstyle

My only question with the kenstyle is "will my SFR exhaust fit?" keep in mind the tips are angled. there are pics of the exhaust plastered all over the site, but here is one for comparison.

mine

kenstlye


watcha think? I really like the kenstlye better, but if my exhaust wont fit i guess its the SS.

thanks

Yikes....those are 2 of my least favorite kits. I really don't like the Kenstyle though so if I had to pick from them...I'd say Shadow.

I like the stock track rims...but rims and suspension are also on my list of things to do. Im going to do it all at once, so theres not going to be a FIRST or second. I just wanted opinions on if the exhuast will fit on the kenstyle which I dont think it will.

As far as rims go I think im going to get the Falken Koblenz. As for suspension...I havent gotten that far research wise, so im not really sure what Im going to do in that department. need to lurk some more in the susp forums.

I know some of the 350Z guys may not like your choices for a bodykit but I actuall like the Kenstyle. The Shadowsport looks interesting, though I suspect many people will say it is too much like a Porsche. Either way go with what YOU like, and buy wheels etc that match what you get.
NOW for suspension...I would suggest you look at Tanabe's. I had the Sustec PRO-SOC and really liked it. I wanted to have more flexibility so I upgraded to Tanabe's Pro-Five coilovers with the TEAS system. It is an electronically adjustable system. I REALLY like this set-up. Works on the fly and gives very good traction. For under 2g's you can't go wrong!!

Thanks for the input man. I looked up the sustec and I have it in my bookmarks, going to do some research when I have the time. I really like the kenstyle kit, but I think it will be SS ftw because of the exhaust thing. Those were pretty much the only two bodykits I ever liked. What do you think of the SS with the falken koblenz? here is a photochop

I thought about a lip, but I hate the snow-plow look that every single lip kit has. The main reason I liked the kenstyle kit is that the front does not have the dumb snow-plow and it seems to be the only one. Even the above SS has the snow-plow thing going on but it seems mute compared to the rest. Blitz makes a nice kit, but I freaking cant stand the blitz rear end.

carbon-creations=snow-plow

charge-speed...makes me want to vomit.
datasystems, c-west, greddy, all snow-plows.
ibher, do-luck, vielside COMON can we not make a subtle bodykit for christs sake?


I just dunno what to do...I swear I think I hate EVERY SINGLE bodykit and exterior aftermarket modification for the 350z. WTF! have I just been looking at it all for too long?

I think the bumper in the picture above looks good...

+1 on not going with the lip, most lips are to big looking and give the 350z a fat lip look... IMO...
