Default New 2003 350z HELP

Just bought an 03 350z with 25k miles. Got it at a great price and couldn't turn it down. The car drives great and I love it. But there is one problem :-(
It has a body kit on it and i don't know the name of the body kit. The front bumper needs to be replaced and I want to get the same bumper that was on it before. I cant seem to find this body kit, but I know you guys are pretty much amazing so I was hoping you would be able to locate this body kit or the bumper somewhere online. If you cant seem to find it either, help me find one that will match well with the rest of the body kit and the hood/spoiler.





by the way, yes I have gotten new back tires. I got the car about 5 days ago, and the tires were really worn down already. The car blew the tire the second day I had it. But now were back on all 4's

I am sure someone shortly will give you info on the body kit.With all the members,someone always knows...Maybe cheaper to fix the bumper than buy a new one.
If its available.If you go that route,go over the whole car and tidy up the entire deal and repaint.I sure would replace the cheesy screen in the air ducts with something else
or,nothing at all.Body kits are nice,but for practical,everyday driving can be hard to keep from getting damaged.
good luck

Looks like you have a lot body work ahead of you.

So how good was the deal you got on it?

Welcome and congratulations. 25,000 miles is a winner. Its a garbage kit and ghetto install. Put it in the dumpster.

I will second on getting rid of the kit. The z just comes out of factory looking amazing! The price you will pay to sand it down... fix will cost you the same amount as getting a OEM bumper cover. You can choose to get one new, used, OE equivalent, etc... If they can fiber glass that up... you will only see it to crack within a month. I'm sure there is sooo many members here that are willing to help you out with some stock parts. Put up a listing under the private classifieds under "wanted". Everyone is dying to push their unwanted parts. So far, being a new member myself, everyone has been great on the classifieds in terms of communication, payment, shipping and follow up.

+1 on the "Go back to stock." If you can afford it, I'd buy OEM bumpers and side skirts, and sell the body kit to help recoup your losses.

Also, I hope you're running matching rear wheels. If not, you can damage your differential.
