weber sports knockoff, itll look good but it depends on how you paint it.

be sure to let us know how the fitment is and how much prep work it required.

you can always paint the mesh black

its a weber knock off...its not a terrible kit but it's taking a rounded smooth flowing 350z and trying to square it off into a GTR. Doesnt really work that well IMO.

Honestly I hate bodykits that'll make the car suffer from identity crisis.

I agree that the front end looks like a GT-R copy-"not that there's anything wrong with that".
I do like the rear components, especially for the ZR, but w/ the text overlay it's really hard to get a clear picture of what it looks like.

Terrible. Kills the lines of the car. The Z is not square/boxy.

Sideskirts are awful. Too many vents all around.
