Question quick body kit question

ok so i just picked up my 03 350z 4 days ago so im still new to it. i found a body kit i am madly in love with but its for the 06 and up....so im just wondering what my options are. here is the body kit, its a 2006-08 Nissan 350Z Vizage Type S Urethane Ground Effects Kit

<a href="http://s1180.photobucket.com/albums/x408/clintbizzle/?action=view&amp;current=JP20Z3320Type.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x408/clintbizzle/JP20Z3320Type.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

<a href="http://s1180.photobucket.com/albums/x408/clintbizzle/?action=view&amp;current=350z-JP-Sports-Vizage-Type-S-body-kit-rear.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x408/clintbizzle/350z-JP-Sports-Vizage-Type-S-body-kit-rear.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

to me it seems like just the front lip wouldnt fit because its for the 06+ front bumper....could i maybe use the stock 06 bumper on my 03 to make this kit work? is there any reason the side skirts or the rear bumper wouldnt work? or should i just let it go and find another kit....and if thats the case maybe you know of some that are simmiler

06+ lip will not work for 03-05. Sides and rear will work.

Buy an 06 bumper and the kit and have it painted at the same time.

What else is already done to the car? Unlike a civic, the Z doesn't need a body kit to look sporty.

Thats a pretty common body kit.Or.many available that look like it for your year Z.
Have you searched?There are seperate components that you can buy that would
allow you to put together a look like this kit.
Do you have the rest of the look on hand to make this body kit(if you get it)work?
Wheels,suspension mods/lowering etc.

thanks for all the quick responces!
anyways i looked around for a few hours and i finialy found a front lip i really like that i think will look good with other the side skirts and rear diffuser.

as for other mods there are none yet....as i said iv only bought it 4 days ago and im still trying to figure out if im going to slam it to the ground and put redicklously deep dished rims with crazy camber for show or if i want to make it more of a weekend warrior so i can take it to the track.....as of now im leaning more twards the first option as the closest track is about 3 hours away. either way i think they look amazing with a few simple body mods so that is first on the list, along with rims and exhaust

Lower it a bit first man, the car looks worlds different with a simple drop. Then get rims, then the body kit. Stock rims with body kit is terrible imo.

Drop is a must the stock rims look more aggressive with just a drop he's right and the drop does wonders for her handling. Much love for the suspension. Just no slamming right away you dont know what your missing this car is a beast

^ What he said. The first thing I did when I got my Z was to determine what exactly I was going to use it for - DD? Track Car? Show Car?

Slow your roll and don't rush into body kits. Did you even got a maintenance first for the car?
