1) did you guys have problems fitting the rear little skirts for the rear bumper, and how did your body shp overcome it? did they shave it to make it fir?

2) on the rear wing, was there six little holes that you had to drill in order to screw the base of the rear wing to the rear hatch?

thanx in advance,

Very cool! Hope to see you in the next meet.....with the kit installed!!

 

finally decided eh? Can't wait to see it!!

 

Hey man. Yeah there are holes, yes you have to drill. Don't know about the skirts or rear bumper.

 

hey dan, were there like 6 small holes to drill.

how is the wing doing through time and use? perfect?

is there any gaps?

if ya had to do it again, wold you buy the replica wing?

are you happy with it?

let me know,
john350z

 

Yes, but I can't remember if it was 6 or 3.

The wing is fine. The weather stripping under it has moved a bit, probably from flex. The prep, paint and installation is very important to having it look good over time. It still looks great.

No gaps.

No, I would hold off on a replica. I bought when the original was $800. I got mine for $290 from Gruppe-S including shipping. I would have considered waiting until Performance was selling the original at reasonable prices. But, it's made my car stand out from the other Zs for the 1st year.

Yes, I'm happy with it.

Dude, check out the Esprit sideskirts at Bulletproof or 350zforums. I think they look much nicer than the Nismo.

 

thanx dan!!!!!

i was looking at either the nismo bodykit or the c-west n1 full kit with gt-2 spoiler, but my car is a daily driver and is not really a show car.

if anything happened to the body kit,
i could either get another cf replica or just get the stock nismo body kit at the dealer.

if i went with c-west, getting another body kit might be a huge wait.

stuck with nismo.

we'll see how it looks.

thanx,
john350z

I purchased a replica kit:

Spoiler fit OK and 4 holes were drilled. The fit was good.

Front panel fit was good. Install was easy.

Side skirts were a tough fit. Holes didn't allign and I am not happy
with the seam allignments.

I still havn't installed the rear pieces. The fit is terrible. However I think I can carefully Dremel out the fiberglass to make them fit. I will do these over the winter along with installing my rollbar.

Good luck!

the little back pieces dont fit quite right, never do on any car with the carbon fiber kit, just gotta make it work.
