Everyone does the V2. Be original and mix up differant parts. I saw a V2 kit with V3 front and it looked sweet.

Or be caddle and follow the herd to your local V2 vendor though I personally like the Amuse more.

it's like picking clothes - get what you like and what you can afford.

The car is 6 years old at this point, and there are alot of Z's on the road. Nearly every kit has been done many, many times at this point

+1 I think the V3 is the best with the curved lip. Looks much better than the V1/V2 straight lip in my opinion. But of course I have a V3 bumper on my car.

I have the same problem.

I'd like to mix and match and not look like every other guy driving the same car down the street. But does anyone know if let's say I get a V2 front, with Greddy sides, and something else for rear, will there be height problems? I don't want the sides to look higher than my front or rear and vice versa.

I am also between those choices.

I was at first going to go with a V3 front with custom canards and filled in side markers, and decided to go another route because I couldnt picture any side skirts besides the new nismo ones that would look good. Same for the rear. And I have the v3 rear.

I am planning now to go Amuse with the diffuser. IMO has to have the diffuser. And the ING+1 rear with the center cut out to show the HKS exhaust. Whatever you go with, make sure that it flows well.
