listen:

ings n-spec kit: this air hole doesnt work great on your hr-engine, because you have 2 intakes! De s got 1.
c-west kit: will not fit your front, coz 03-05 and 06+ front bumpers are different

I was debating the same kits ( Nismo V2 and C-west). I think the V2 front and sides look great but the rears dont really do it for me. The C-west rears wrap around Which I think looks better. Maybe do the V2 front and sides and the C-west rears in CF. Just my .02

IMO, I wouldn't choose out of those 3 without spoiler, those body kits are very aggressive looking.

I would also consider other kits as well. Chargespeed is also a very nice kit, IMO.

Chargespeed V2
ASM front, varis CF sides, Top secret CF rear diffuser, ASM hood
Ing's E-Type longnose w/ hood(I hear Ings stuff doesn't fit so great)
C-West longnose w/ hood


W/ a black car it's so hard to pull off an aggressive kit and have it really look good just b/c the black hides the lines. Look up the Chargespeed thread and look how aggressive the Chargespeed rear looks on every color but the black Z roadster in that thread.

Good luck w/ your choices...I'd say you got some damn nice ones picked out.

Actually I kind of heard the same too, but not sure if it's specific to the +1 nspec kit. Was talking to some people about a crappy fitting replica of it and some were telling me even the authentic of it sometimes was a nightmare

Then again seeing as who's saying it and what they sell, might be a biased statement :P
