Ok so now I will admit what I am about to type is seriously a dream and would take a long time for me to piece together. But, I think I have a great idea for a super agressive pieced together kit. And I would only feel this kit is justified with a turbo kit. Haha so here it goes-
C West Long Nose Type E Front Bumper
Top Secret Type 2 Side Skirts
Voltex Rear Diffuser
Voltex Type 5 1600 or 1700mm GT Wing(SBC FTW)
MCR FRP Hood

What do you guys think???

You're better off focusing on your future, finishing hs, get through college and paying for your own. Spending your parents money to mod a car your parents bought you is just inviting hate on this forum.

Oh my gosh I just asked what do you think. I'm not spending my parents money on anything else. They offered to buy me a body kit and I told them no I want to buy all the rest of the stuff. This kit is obviously not feasible in High School. Also I AM focused on my future. I am a straight A student taking many AP/ Honors classes. I just have a passion for cars. And I want to pursue a career in Architecture or Automotive Design. I would like to work in Japan if possible.

as long as you dont f**ked up in your school because of cars.. go ahead with any bodykit you want.

but dont repeat my mistake in life.. i spent allot of money on cars, pple in my age having more savings than me, married have families.. and i am still single and cant even afford to buy a small property .

always think ahead not just for the moment.

I don't typically like to fan the fire but have you considered a Chargespeed? That set up you're considering is god awful and take it from me, combining kits don't work that well but I was fortunate when I did mine.

Yea I have considered chargespeed. The only thing I dont like are the side skirts on it. But for 1900 or so it is a pretty good deal. I think since im on a tight budget and obviously $2000 just for front rear and sides is not exactly what I can afford. I was looking at like either just a lip and wing. Or like the Duraflex AMS-GT kit or something like that with an APR wing. I want to eventually combine something because I want to be original and not just like every other person with a kit.

College and an APR or any other GT wing is not a smart idea. To many people will vandalize your car, also a a GT wing on a street vehicle is kinda stupid.

As a starter. You should get the Chargespeed bottom line carbon kit. It does not need to be paint, just fit on, install and ready go. It is the cleanest lip kit for the 350Z. However, it is a little pricy, but if you can afford it, why not.

On the side note,
Since you are still young, enjoy it while you can, even if it is your parents' money. Because after high school, it is over. Then college, you are on your on. After college, no one will even care what you do, until you start joining the work force like the rest of us, make money, pay taxes, and contribute something good to the society. That is when people start to notice.

Thanks for the suggestion I was looking at maybe Chargespeed front bumper, Chargespeed Bottom Line sides, and Top Secret(shine auto) rear diffuser.

Don't forget to use the marketplace to buy good used kit, or gathering for yourself pieces together with half the price compare to retail.

I love how none of this is ever going to happen.

And how he got his wheels installed incorrectly and showed them off. That was nice.

Why is it such a big deal that they were mounted wrong. I told them they were specific to each side. I got them fixed. I was just excited about getting them and did not notice. Also I have enough money to get a kit and lowering springs. An exhaust and lowering springs. Or coilovers and front/rear camber kit. So at some point its gonna happen. Only problem with the kit is that I dont have enough money for the wrap. I want to do a pearlescent white wrap, so I would have to wait and save up to get it wrapped whereas the exhaust or coilovers I can just put on.
