two different pics of the rear in this thread - on first page the photo of the rear has two outlet cutouts, and on the last page the photo shows one outlet - which one did you replicate?

Correct, that is a photoshop concept of a modified rear amuse bumper. The other sponsor is saying they have a direct replica bumper they are offering for sale..

I guess that makes it pretty clear we will stick to unique designs

You are such a DB posting this BS...We have over 80 itraders on g35driver and have a good record. All companies have a few deals that go bad or wish could have gone better but that happens. We love your unsolicited remarks and it further shows Ignorance on your part. Auto Infantry was put out of the game a yr ago. We actually made the deal to be exclusive on this kit today... Bankrupt is far from our Future. Again you speak with such knowledge. Check us out on g35driver. Carbodykits also lists us.

Now we are here to stay on my350z. Tough crowd? Maybe, but we can handle it just the same. Since you were the first one to run your mouth then you get the Strafe "Assclown of 2010 award".

You had issues with AI as did a lot of people on here. As a matter of Fact they started Strafe because Peter messed Lawrence over on his so called 1 Off G35 stuff. Lawrence vowed to take him out of the Business. Took a month...

So get educated about Strafe before you talk your BS...I don't have to Prove we are Legit...People know we are Legit...

Now that you're doing this I'm less inclined to purchase... Then Don't.... Doing what? Selling Body Kits and Parts? Hmmm that is what we do...

This kit was made and we got the Offer of Exclusive to sell it. We did not design it and really had no part of the R&D. We take orders we sell the kits...Plain and simple. We aren't going to change the design. We are here to conduct legit business in providing the consumer with the kits that become available to us for you. We have 1 bumper we designed and that is the Strafespeed bumper.

If you want to ***** and gripe and accuse us of wrongdoing then become a customer first. If not then STFU already...
We aren't going to put up with this AI reference BS anymore. There are 2 owners of Strafe, Lawrence and Dustin. They both own G35’s and highly modify their rides. So not only do they sell they buy parts. They just try to pass the savings along to you.
I’m Mike their 350z sales rep I owned a G35 and Now a 350z..
Take care and Have a Great Holiday season..Hopefully you were educated Today and move on from your AI experience.. If not Seek rehab....

Yikes. That post was frighteningly unprofessional.


The kit looks great; I'm excited to see it painted and installed on a Z... hopefully in blue!

They know..They also know the references to AI have no place with us. Attacking a Vendor that hasn't done him wrong was out of Place. Sorry if you can't see the damage a post like that. Unsolicted or Unfounded it was wrong and I felt the need to put it to bed already.. AI hurt the forum and the industry. Give Strafe a chance to show they mean business and customer service. One thing they won't do is put up with BS lies and attacks. Again Sorry you feel that way but it was wrong what he posted and needed a correct response.

Carry on, best of luck to you and strafe

I See your Point..I just know they take that stuff serious and their business and they aren't crooks. My bad for popping off. Just was wrong in the first Place and I want to make a difference on here.
AI really screwed up the Body kit business. I plan to try my best to make it right and trustworthy again. Strafe is a reputable business, is not AI, is proven, show evidence, and promise to serve the Z community well. TY Man for good advice..



Lets get back to this kit. I'm putting this on My Z as we speak...

I understand the hate since some users got ripped off here(i almost was one of the group). Anyways, I can go thumbs up with strafe. I have lots of buddies that dealt with them local and in the southern CA area. All i heard is a bunch of positive input from them.

I can't wait to see it on your Z mike.

Any chance of the test fit car having a large intercooler?

Is there any chance at all of a large intercooler fitting? It appears as though the radiator ducting goes pretty deep, and that the bumper itself isn't any longer than a stock bumper.

That was.... very ....professional...

After all, with a join date of November 2010 and an iTrader of 1, who am I to question your integrity as a vendor. I mean its quite obvious your reputation precedes you.

But anyway, as a perspective buyer I do have a few questions for you:
  • How long have you been "in business"?
  • Are you and your employees under or over the age of 30?
  • Do you have a company website?
  • Do you have company email accounts (aside from gmail)?
  • Who will be manufacturing this kit? Is it ViS Racing?
  • Do you test fit each manufactured piece for quality?
  • Do you own a store or warehouse where you stock inventory?
  • Will you be keeping a certain number of these in stock?
  • How much will this kit be?
  • Where will these products be shipped from?
  • Is your "company" responsible for boxing and shipping or will the manufacturer do this?
  • For items "in stock" whats your time frame time from receipt of payment to shipment?

Thank you in advance, for your professional responses.

Soooooo yea I guess this is what exclusive means...? and the correct term is "exclusivity" buddy. Well I guess the link below speaks for itself in answering all my questions.

http://www.visracing.com/newcatalog/...-Full-Kit.html

As for the rest of you interested in this-especially those not in the state of CA, unless he's giving you a HUGE discount I would save yourself heartache and order it directly if you really want it. I will tell you this much based on past feedback from ViS products, fitment will be hit or miss and most probably require additional work by your bodyshop. And they even tell you this on their own website, "...Modification of part is required to ensure proper fitment. Test fit all body kit parts before any modification or painting..."

He's not involved in any of the process. You pay him & give him your shipping info, he then keeps a portion of the payment (his profit) and pays ViS with the rest and gives them your shipping info and ViS most probably drop ships it from their own location.

My only other question is: As a middleman what benefits do you provide the customer?
