Default V2 Installed and Painted

So my wife surprised me last week by finding me a body shop to install my body kit that I've had in my garage since last May. Everything came out really well and I think it looks great. I've gotten quite a lot of compliments so far from people who have seen the car. The great thing is I only paid $600 for the paint and install. I know a lot of people hate the Veilside V2 kit (hell, I used to be one of them) but honestly, the pictures that I've seen just don't do it justice.

Im one of those people that hate that kit. It looks like a weird catfish. But atleast the craftsman ship looks pretty good from the body shop.

Done correctly even the most borderline kits will look good. Props to OP for doing it right.

I would NEVER do this to my car….

The kit really looks good on your z, it must be the color.

Not feeling the hood, but it is your car and not mine!

if your happy then thats all that matters. in my opinion, that has to be the ugliest front bumper for the z.

rear looks awesome

Thanks guys. The hood won't be staying on for much longer. I have to drive up to the LA area and pick up my AMS Hood. That hood that is on the car I bought a long time ago (from Jason at Performance Nissan)for $100 bucks and the shop just went ahead and painted it while it was there.

Cool wife to find a place to be able to paint it and install. Pics of said wife?

The kit is not my cup of tea, but I do like the color of the Z
