i concur btw... ^
this is what happens when Kei Miura isnt the man designing and building the kit.. i think they ( Bensopra) got all froggy and tried to do this one themselves. None of his usual design icons are present in this kit..

Here we go.......


$23,985.00 + domestic shipping






A kit that's twice as expensive as some of the Zs out there.
Is this quote from Bulletproof Automotive?

For Real. I knew they would be in the 20k Range. They are in the business of knowing that they will get knocked off...... You all know my build. Ill just keep getting creative.

yeah i decided to start w superleggera fenders and side skirts to get a better looking fender recession... they look pretty sick w the canard removed imo. that v shaped vent that snakes across the fender adds some good detail to the car, better than the ones i have now w the big square hole in them..

yes, Im post whoring this pic out, but im excited to have these parts on the way.
I may wind up using a different flare for the front than the VS i have.. but for now, this is the direction, courtesy of vex008's photoshop skills.

A smart vendor would invest 20g's into buying the real kit, make a mold and then sell them. Even for 2g's a pop you'd only need to sell 10 for your return on the original kit and then whatever it costs to make a mold, after that everything is profit lol. That red one looks so sick but I'm not crazy about the giant canards or whatever up front.

^^^ I mean... that's what rep companies do all of the time... I'm sure they will eventually but the kit is brand new and idk if anyone in the States has even ordered it yet; I'm sure it has a long lead time like TRA Kyoto/Rocket Bunny aero.

yep.. plus they arent going to sell that kit to anyone but vendors they trust 100%most likely as one off situations.. . anyone who buys one and lets it go to a mold will most likely be sued etc.. reps only happen when there is sufficient saturation of the product to make it impossible to tell who made the mold... or if they know they arent going to be chased down lol

Default Benspora 350z Kit?

So I came across this rocketbunny 350z featured in the recent Tokyo Auto Salon I wanted to get your guys opinion on this and does anyone have an idea if they started making parts or where to source the kit possibly?

Me personally I think it would look better without the canards.

It's available but it is going to be very pricey

Contact Bulletproof Automotive for exact pricing:

I'll be good. I dont prefer the smoothed in look w these things. I assume the bumper top and the flares will be fairly far off.
Not expecting an easy blend but I have no choice tbh.. when I get them... we will have to keep moving to make it work.. regardless of the process.
