Post 350Z JGTC Wide Body Picture request

I recently purchased an actual jgtc 350z wide body aero kit. It's not complete, you can see the pieces that I purchased here:








As you can see I'm missing the rear bumper and a front right fender flare, as well as the bottom trim pieces, but I think that can recreated pretty easily so I'm not worried about that. I just haven't seen any pictures of this actual z33 from the rear. If you have any rear pictures of this particular Z or any other Z's with this same early version Nismo jgtc wide body kit please post the links or pics please. Thanks.

I have the opportunity to buy some actual jgtc rear bumpers but I want to make sure I but the correct one that's closest to this kit.

More pics of the Z with the parts installed:







I'll take some more pics when the parts actually arrive, it's shipping by SEA container so I won't be able to take pics until Dec.

I hope so, I don't even have a 350Z, but I've always wanted an actual jgtc kitted nsx or 350z. So I'll probably look for a 350z with a poor exterior, chop up the kit and modify it into a street-able version, make molds and install a copy on the Z.

It's going to be a long term project. If it looks like something that's going to be too much work, differences in suspension / height of street Z vs jgtc Z.. I'm not sure if it's even possible to install with a drive able turning radius and proper wheel fitment, I'll figure that out when it arrives.

Worst case scenario, I'll put it on the wall of the shop, it would always make a nice show piece

Talking JGTC Carbon Fiber 350Z parts

Here's some pics of rear bumpers that I found... I think the rear with the integrated wide body fender extension-rectangle-looking things is the newest version of the JGTC rear, the single carbon rear bumper is the older 3-piece version of rear bumper I believe..

Talking JGTC Carbon Fiber 350Z Hatch

I had the opportunity to get this, but since I want to drive the car on the street I'd have to cut the window area out and put plastic acrylic glass in place. It has a functional sexy looking rear vent, but if it's on a street car there's no real purpose for it, at least none that comes to mind, maybe I'm missing something. I would still throw the jgtc hatch on my future z33 even if it wasn't functional but I really just want to buy parts that I can eventually turn a profit from. If I was to modify and make a mold of the hatch I don't think I could sell that many so I passed on it.

I like the carbon fiber jgtc hatch Bulletproof has too, I think they have the newer version, this one didn't have those cool window scoops.

It sure does look cool though... who knows, maybe there's some aerodynamic function, maybe the air is funneled through that chute and out of the rear bumper or under the car. I've never seen the inside of the trunk area of the jgtc 350z, it would be interesting to see how it works.

This would be dope as a street car in my opinion ha. Please get a full cage, seats, and steering wheel setup as well. I don't care if you leave full interior, but don't half *** this. Also will need some wheels and BBK to go with it.
