Default NISMO styling kit

I just had two questions. I just bought a 2008 Z, does it have the same body style as like the older models?? The reason I ask is because I am buying a Nismo lip kit for it. The only website that I found was this one: http://www.customautotrim.com/bodyki...50Z/2003-0000/ for a 2003+ model. A lot of other websites say for Z's that are like 2003-2005 models. So I was curious if my 08 is the same body style as perhaps a 2003-2005?? Also, how reliable do you think that website is? Or I wonder if it's a knock off?? Basically I want this same lip kit (carbon fiber too) : http://www.cardomain.com/ride/822797 Anyone know where I may find one!? Thanks

2003 started the 350z

2006 changed the headlights, taillights, and front bumper. headlights and tail lights are able to be put in older models. front bumper is not backwards compatible without modification.

2007 changed the hood to fit new motor. 2003-2006 hoods will not work.

2008 is a repeat of 2007 (with less color options...it appears)

Any lip that is labeled as an '06+ will fit an '08.

The website you listed only sells knock-offs. Please stay away from knock-offs. You will end up paying your body shop a butt load of money to make them fit right.
