Ok well I have another question for you Waizzz since you seem to be the man when it comes to finding this stripe… That link in the quote, do you know if that kit comes with all of the stripes? (side stripes, hood stripes, nismo decals)
Im only questioning it because when I search the part number other places have it listed for about $250 and that kit is only $128

Maybe just send the seller an email to confirm that they have it in stock

Ok its not going well. I emailed Nissanpartszone and they didn't have it. I just got off the phone with Nissan of Van Nuys, Melvin wasn't in today and the guy I spoke to did not give any help. Melvin is calling me back tomorrow morning sometime to see if he can help.
So the search is still on

Well its official, there are 0 of the kits left out there. I searched the part # and called every single listing that had one and nobody carries it and nobody knows where to find them because its discontinued.
Unless somebody of the forum has one laying around Im not sure what to do.

Long shot could be to try to see how different the 370z version is and maybe try to run that one instead of your 350z version?

I just emailed that ebay seller and attached pictures of my car so I will wait for that reply. If he can't do it I might have to take the stripes off of my car and…
1)Have to repaint my entire car
2)Pray that the paint has not noticeably faded over the years

After a few months, my car is finally back together and I figured out the stripe situation.
First, here is why I needed to replace the stripe…
Once that was repaired the quarter panel got repainted and blended to match…
Then I had to find a way to get new stripes and add the hood stripe. There are officially 0 authentic nismo stripes left out there so I had to get one custom made. The shop that made mine is called Stoner Graphix, located near Harrisburg PA. And they did an amazing job! The hood is not like the original nismo stripe because they were messing around with the design and came up with a different pattern to see if I would like it, and I think it looks better…
My hood stripe has the same concept as the original nismo stripes except mine has the exact same pattern as the quarter panels, only rotated and resized to fit the hood. I think it came out pretty well

Just a few month update for anybody looking for these decals and saw that I recommended Stoner Graphix.
Just this week, the very tip of the decal of the hood started to peel up slightly. I emailed Stoner Graphix with pictures and they said they would fix it free of charge. I just took it down today and they fixed it on the spot by replacing the three main stripes on the hood, then repositioned them so that the tip of the decal didn't get as much direct wind and weather. They did that by almost wrapping the stripe around the end of the hood rather than ending on the top of the hood. Then they put a type of clear over the end of the stripe to hopefully help seal it from the elements.
So in the long run this shop has been very easy to work with and everything came out great again.
The first 2 pictures are before so you can see where the decal was placed. The last picture is to show how they relocated the decal.

I did a preliminary measurement of the 370z NISMO graphics on my friends 370z and it looks like they are nearly the same length as what my old 350z graphics kit was
I almost bought a set of graphics but I think at this point I would rather just keep it without the kit
