i am looking to buy a set of nismo limited edition body kit for my 08 Grand touring...does anyone have any experience? any recommendation? or is there going to be any fitment issue or anything like that?

the kit i am looking at is http://www.mynismo.com/categories/?id=7072

do i need any other hardware ? does it come with the kit or anything?


thanks for the input ~~~

as long as the front and rear bumpers come with hardware, its a direct bolt on deal. the front under diffuser/tray is neccessary to run that bumper, unless you make your own.

no difference...the rear however has a mesh that require 24 clips that are 34 a pop...do you need 24 clips....I say no...12 correctly placed once work fine...

so does the rear bump come with the mesh and whatever clips u r talking? i don't see a mesh for sale on the website i am looking at.....

thanks for telling....

that's why i am wondering....cus the website i am looking at doesn't really say anything about the hardware......and if i buy the stuff and they don't come with the hardware ...how i am supposed to install~~that's why i am asking ppl if they had any experience in buying / installing this kit..


thanks

no it won't come with the parts...

you'd have to go to like courtesy Nissan parts or a dealer to get the clips

buy the lit from www.mynismo.com it's the cheapeast

I think others have already answered most of your concern, but since you bought an 08 GT why didn't you buy a Nismo? The nismo kits is expensive and considering the cost of labor and paint.

we don't have a nismo for sale here in Canada....if i wanted a nismo, i 'd have to buy it from the states..and pay huge taxes at the custom....so i bought my 08 GT locally , and decided to convert it to a nismo (body only)

Z1 is too expense to me

so buy the kit from here
http://www.mynismo.com/categories/?id=7072

then any small part can be had from these people
http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z-pa...5_846_862.html

parts

mesh
85833 -1
85335 -1

clip type (1)
85012C - 4

85242 - (24) I say only 12 is needed

NOTE:

I an not a nissan tech so take my info with little weight, and see a good body shop or dealership on whats really needed. This is a start though

OR

go to Z1 for a pricey peace of mind...

Z-Lover

iTrader: (6)

thanks..i knew this site...but their price is a bit higher than what's being offered over mynismo.com...

does that mean the kit found on mynismo.com doesn't come with the hardware? OMG.......

many will wanna hang you on this statement, I think if you do go this route better come correct or be the butt of jokes for as long as you own the car...

Z-Lover

iTrader: (6)

wow..buddy, u r the man..thanks so much for the info..

the thing is that we don't have a nismo edition 350z here in Canada....

i was wondering if any body shop or dealership has any previous experience when it comes to install the limited edition kit....

sigh...what am i supposed to do ..

i really don't wanna pay for pricey peace of mind... i am so borke.

Z-Lover

iTrader: (6)

how come?


are u saying that i should modify the car for the go , not for the show?

i mean i love how the nismo limited edition looks....for performance , i have my own taste......

i do wanna go this route..and how i am supposed to come correct?

thanks again~:-)

look at ever single page in this thread and if you can get your car to look like it belongs in this thread don't do it...

Ok yea it may be a tad on the more expensive side... but there's a lot to be said about a spanish adage "Whats cheaper now may cost you more in the long run" (Translated of course) besides all the little work has been done... I'm still torn on either the Nismo V3 front and sides or a Chargespeed Bottomline. I despise the V3 rear for some strange reason.. it doesnt do anything for me.

To add to KingBaby.. what I think he's trying to say is the Nismo is probably the best handling factory sports car not to mention its stellar looks, If your going to look like a Nismo it might warrant some type of back up. Simply said... its kinda like wearing a Folex in a room full of dudes wear Rolly's and everyone else knows it.
