Lol dude if your parents are willing to just hand over 4k why waste it on this? Go get a turbo or something at least. :P
Your car though. If your parents are giving you money more power to you, wish I had that kinda situation. Goodluck with whatever you do.

By the way, the kit looks good in IMO.

Okay, I wasted 5 minutes of my time doing research on this that you should be doing.
1. The kit is a 4 piece kit (fenders,bumper,hood) so you'll have to spend a extra $500 per headlight just to get the headlights (note: 350z headlights are $80 on eBay)
2. The whole point of this is to have the 370z headlights on your 350z right? Well I would love to hear how your going to mount them! Because the headlight support bracket is definitely not the same. Ya know what means? You go buy this kit and get it painted then the headlights don't fit. So I went the extra mile and looked up the housing support (thing that holds the headlight to the car) and I couldn't find a single one used. Cheapest new I could find was $921 A PIECE. So there's a extra $2000 just to hold the headlights in place. And I have no idea if the housing support will even fit a 350z...
Dude I'm not trying to make you kill yourself because you don't exactly know what your doing but beware of wasting money and getting people on here to agree with you. I'm only 17 and I have a z that I paid for with all of my own hard earned money. I came on here last year and asked how to turbo my car.. Biggest mistake of my life. So I wanted to prove all the haters wrong so I built a kit myself including lines and everything. And even bought a eBay turbo to top it off. And guess what? It worked. Had it Dyno tuned and had over 400hp. But then guess what? My stupid mistake of running the oil lines anywhere close to my exhaust was a mistake. Driving down the road the oil line slipped off and ignited. Caught my entire car on fire and I'm lucky I didn't die with my car. Thing is I didn't have any insurance for random fires so I lost my car. Learn from my mistake man.

And I forgot to mention the harness. They look similar from pictures but you need to do more research on that if you still plan on doing this. But I agree with them ^ a turbo kit for $4k is 20x cooler than different headlights.. Trust me I had both

With the money you are spending to make your 350 look like a 370, why not do a WBK for your 350? Or save that money and put it towards college lol
I can't even imagine spending $4k on car parts before going to college. But if you're set on the 370z look for your 350, keep us updated on the progress. Extreme Dimensions makes great kits, but the shop putting it on is even more important. Plenty of threads on this forum to show you the horrors of going to a cheap body shop

4k installed for everything not the INSTALLMENT. I over exaggerated the price, I have a hookup for a paint job and kit install because my aunt bf works at a autobody shop. Anyways thanks for the mods suggestion, but your opinon doesnt matter because im not looking for suggestion, but the lights information.

Regardless of what everyone thinks the OP is actually looking for help on completing this kit so why not just let him do what he wants and answer his relevant questions rather than bashing him
I will start cleaning up the thread and handing out infractions if it keeps going down this path of becoming a flame fest rather than people actually helping out the OP

Okay.. Then on a serious note,
I think the kit would look cool. The conversion has been done a couple of times, I have seen the z's on Instagram a lot. They get lots of love. But it's not something I would be willing to do. Too expensive and not something I like. One of my least favorite parts of the 370 is the awkward triangle chunks missing from the headlights. But if you're looking to be unique, go for it. If you can fund it, anything can be done.

hey, if you are willing to spend that much money, why don't you consider Nismo V3 kit? I think it's beautiful and if you REALLY REALLY want more *aggressive style of headlights, consider custom headlights!
