Looks great! Wonder what it would look w/ gold wheels to match the splitter? I like the gray though too. Finally, check out this post to prevent that splitter from being damaged by some air guides behind it. It's a known issue for the Nismo/v3 bumper: https://my350z.com/forum/nismo-350z/...ew-bumper.html

I was in the same boat as you...wondering if I should just do the Nismo V3 front bumper and stop there. Now that I have seen your car I am going to do the full kit. It does seem like something is missing with only having the front bumper. I have mixed feelings on the eyelids. Love the hood, but I'm not digging the rims at all.

Also, I thought the v3 rear was a park bench but now that I look at it again...it does look better than the bubble butt rear and if you get the wing it will complete it perfectly.

Thanks for letting me know of that issue! I will check mine out today after work and see if its close and if it is then cut it like they did in that thread.

I also am not a huge fan of the rear of the V3 kit but it goes so well together when you have the entire kit. The squareness of the wing accent it very nicely in my opinion.

I thought about the chargespeed rear bumper but I have a single exhaust and love having a single and that bumper requires dual to look good so I wont be going that route. The V3 rear looks good with a single so thats another reason to go with it.

The V3 sides are SOOOO EXPENSIVE since they are 2 pieces for each side. Is there a side skirt that is really close to looking just like the V3 sides?

Nice job, definitely needs some type of sides/rear but doesn't have to be the Nismo V3.

It does look weird without V3 side skirts and rear bumper. However, you don't have to get V3 sides and rear bumper.

This should work imo: Paint the hood to car color, get Nismo V2 sides and Chargespeed rear bumper.

Looks awesome. Sides and rear will complete the look but I dont think they are necessary. Nice work.

great looking combo so far. I bought the same hood but have been waiting 5 weeks for the tracking number. I was also going to go with the v3 front, sides and the ING rear on my DB. The front looks good in blue.

I dont like the wheels, and the lip is extremely weak for some reason. My friend just ordered some wheels, and he is getting a 4.5" lip and this looks like a 2.5", no offense. I mean they dont look bad, but like someone else said, could never see myself buying these.

My wheels are not for everyone and thats another reason why I love them so much. No one has them and I hate have a car that looks like someone elses. Maybe its because of their high price tag or who knows! I like them though!
