Hi everyone. I've always been a fan of buying oem stuff rather than knockoffs but I found out that the Nismo body kits have been discontinued by nissan. I found a set of brand new JDM nismo side skirts but I was wondering if you recommend getting those and trying to complete the rest of the body kit or just buying a repllica usdm kit from one of our vendors. If I get the JDM sideskirts then I'll have to continue my search for a front end.

Secondly, I have a Nismo v1 wing on the back and I was wondering if I should stick with the nismo fins or get a chargespeed rear end. What do you think looks better? Will it fit a Bassani exhaust?
My wheels are currently the stock so I'm not sure how the car will look with the body kit. Maybe I should start looking for some Volks?
Thanks

I only have input regarding the Nismo rear fins, and that is: 1) I think Nismo rears will look better than Chargespeed with the rest of the Nismo kit, and 2) I bought replica Nismo rears from M1 Autosport last year and the fitment is real bad. I dunno if M1 is even around anymore but I think the pieces were made by VIS, so heads up on that.

That is my tourenn rear bumper. I think it flows well with the JDM sides and front. They're decent fitting, but might be difficult to find. I also considered the Chargespeed rear. Look into the Greddy Gracer side skirts as an alternative to the JDM sides.

^^ That looks nice. Are those the JDM sides? Can you post more pics of your car including from the front?

Yeah, I'd recommend SHINE for their fitment and material. They're the gold standard for replicas.

Well thi question could be easily answered since this kit is so overplayed.

The 350z is overplayed. Who cares. It's a good looking kit.

^^ Exactly! The nismo kit makes a statement without looking overly aggressive.

I care.

So many options availible to make the Z unique. Why choose what has been done millions of times.

Thats why i got it, semi simple and clean looking. Also functional to some extent.

M1? scary.. no they are closed. All their employees ( or something like that) are now at DTM.. and read my thread about THAT place. and VIS.. scary!

My ol VIS R35/weber kit was dope.. the VS replica they sent me? totaly looked like hand made paper mache. Was a great improvement over cardboard ground effects kits. haha.
I actually put it all in the trash after getting my money back thru my cred card co.

Anyways.. YES! 350z as a whole are played out.. and use this fact to be free to make decisions on your kit.. hell I bought a Veilside.. thats as played as it gets.

BUT you probably want facts.. you will find getting genuine and knockoff mix match of the same kit will not fit well.

I hear great things about shine... yet kit choice is limited..

Dude, if theres more than 3 positive votes for a kit manufacturing place.. its amazing haha. Take it as a solid.

And while i like more agressive kits.. your right.. its simple and a hell of alot easier to drive around than mine is.
