Default Mastergrade wide body kit?

Hello~

My first post here
so in January i bought my '03 350z here in San Diego California
$19,000 with 58k miles.

I. love. this. car.

It's always been my dream car, me being 19 i didn't think i'd be able to get my hands on one, but plenty determination, and a little luck landed one in my hands.

More on subject though,
I was looking through the body kit thread and I stumbled upon the Mastergrade wide body kit.
I've never seen anything so damn sexy.

I was searching around and came to the conclusion its not made anymore? Say it isnt so?! D:

How is one supposed to land hands on this body kit? On thing I really love about it is the big scoop-ish thing on the sides of the car, on the door. I'm not 100% sure how body kits work, and was basically wondering whats all needed to replicate the Z in those Mastergrade pictures?

I defiantly want to invest in saving up for that.
My upgrade plans in order are:
Window tinting/smoked tail lights
New sound system (my work accommodations on audio are amazing! pioneer DD touchscreen head unit + 2 sets of kicker speakers + 2 kicker amps and a sub for about $1000)
catback & exhaust
New tires/rims/brakes
Body kit & sexy orange&black paintjob

Any info on this Mastergrade kit would be much appreciated!!

wow, i was just checking up on this kit, and found this thread. Very hot kit but you are right, doesn't make sense installing on a stock ride.

Anyone know for sure if its not made anymore? That group buy-in thread was just a few months ago

I didnt even want the whole kit, just wanted the sides. Was thinking on putting the nismo rear and spoiler on. Undecided on the front...

The kit is being re-made by Mastergrade as we speak. the original kit had some fitment issues that needed to be worked out, so they fitted, re-worked, and re-molded the entire kit.

The kit will not be seperated, you must get the whole kit. It will be ready in about 6-8 weeks.

Tell them to make a new front bumper because their design is hideous.

^^ Sorry but I agree with nexx and im willing to bet 5$ this mastergrade body kit is a pipe dream. This kit isn't cheap neither will installing it, not mentioning you have a lot of other things to buy first (exhaust, RIM$, brakes, audio). Sorry to be a naysayer, I hope you do indeed get what you want but I don't expect to see it anytime soon.

Cosmetic modifications are always going to be hit or miss...ALWAYS. I respect your opinion, but this is one of the most sought after widebody kits from the Z...so I think the design is "alright".

look, people who make 75k+ have a hard time spending 20k in mods on a car. i just cant see someone who just bought a used Z for 19k dumping that much money into one at the ripe age of 19. if you can, more power to you.

thanks :]

yea i love how that car looks. I want to make mine look similar only with smoked tails and a different hood. I really like that blue, but i think a nice orange color would look a lot better.
