Werks body kit. But also found another kit exactly like it called C-2 on the same site Both made out of fiberglass. Does anyone have this on their car painted PPW? Whats the difference? My Z got hit and the quarterpanel got damaged along w/ the rear bumper cover and I needed a new front anyways so I figured what the hell.

Bad part is I actually got the front redone a little over a month ago. And the damn F150 truck that hit me acted like he was driving a Bently and I'm driving a pos civic. Good part is the hub is perfect and camber was just barely knocked off. Give me your thoughts

 

You better hope that quarter panel doesnt need replacing its $800 plus a butt load of labor charges but he hit you so doenst matter. That kit you picked was one of the more popular kits a few years ago 03-05. There are a few variations but basically the same thing

 

try this:

get rims and lower your car before you waste money on a body kit. repairing the quarter panel and replacing the bumper doesn't have to be an excuse to get a body kit, and IMO it's a terrible excuse.

 

Basically a C-West N1 copy, except for the rear. I'd recommend wheels first or at the same time as well.

 

Yes get it.

 

get new tail lights to take a crow bar to the ones you have if the insurance guy hasnt seen it yet

 

Got it checked out at my bodyshop and he said he'll be able to make it look good as new.. Gave me a good deal because I've been through him before but man, got it quoted at a different shop, replacing it and all, 30+ hours of work = $3200 when all is said and done.

Whats wrong with the tail lights? I've personally have never heard a bad thing about it when someone saw it in person... They're not "bubbly" or stick out irregulary at all. Have had them for almost 3 years and have never had a problem with them... I'll stick witht these

Damn damn damn... forgot I needed rims....

 

Is that him straightening the quarter or replacing it? I would not want bondo on my Z.

 

Wheels first.

You can always get a kit later on in your local marketplace.

 

might want to consider adding a considerable % to the price of the kit towards actually making it fit properly - you have to plan for the worst when you're dealing with replicas of this ilk

 

I'd get some stock tail lights first

 

+1 on this...I know from experience...budget for the unexpected with replica bullsh*t...cause typically fitment is bad.

 

If you get a body kit, I would not get fiberglas. I had one on my '87 Maxima and replaced the front end 3 or 4 times since they crack so easy.

 

 

Leave the quarter panel how it is.... It looks dope and no one has that same exact style!

 

Damn.. Now I gotta find the guy so he can replicate the same design on the other side!


After a couple days of thinking I've decided to get oem rear bumper for now and get the panel fixed because I completely forgot how horrible fiberglass is and you guys are right. There's no way I can rock a body kit w/ factory wheels. I'm also going to wait a while longer and maybe save up for a decent kit of decent material. Thanks guys for your help.
