Default Data System Illusion urethane Complete Lip kit

Does anyone have this kit installed? I only want a urethane bodykit for the Z and something that is clean and doesnt look to akward. I found this one that looks good. Anyone know about this company and the realibility of this product? Anyone have it installed and pics? I dont want to buy a cheap quality kit and I never herd of this company before. Link to auction is

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all

I would stay away from this like the plague. The first photo is a stock
photo that is used in thousands of auctions, literally. I would bet that
the kit shows up looking like a disaster. The best advice I can offer is -
save your money, then save more, and then when you think you have
enough save even more. Buy only original parts. Shine is the only 3rd
party that comes close (imo) to producing quality options, and they're
expensive too. My point is - good, original parts are pricey, good bodywork
is pricier, and cutting corners ends in FAIL. Be patient and you will find
what you're looking for.

Hello, Thank you guys for the information. I was thinking of just going with the Nismo kit seeing as I have the Nismo CAI and Exhaust. I really do want OEM quality material and I know that normally Urethane fits perfect. At least the Stillen Kit did for my 98 Max when I had it. I might just stick with Nismo. Thanks a lot guys!

that is not a genuine Data Systems kit - it's not even a replica...it's just someone using the name of a Japanese brand to try to sell whatever it is they have

in addition, don't be fooled into buying a kit where the person selling it doesn't even know (or care) to give an accurate description - the front lip from a 2003-2005 car WILL NOT fit a 2006 and up car...bumpers are different, so lips have to be different too.

As everyone has stated that is a cheap knock off! SAY NO TO KNOCK OFFS!!!!!!!!! What you save on the kit itself will be offset on the cost of getting a body shop to get it to fit correctly.

If you like that kit I'd suggest the authentic Ing's+1 LX kit in the hybrid material. The Ing's+1 hybrid material is very durable. Contact Andy@Performance
