Default Thoughts about R35/GT-R style body kit for 350Z

Hey there, I just got a 2008 350Z. I'm thinking about to get a body kit for my new car. Dose the R35/GT-R Style body kit will help the dual intake to get cooler air? I goal is not to make my car like a GTR, just for different look and better intake solutions. Any other suggestions? BTW, I don't want to cut out my fender.

Made my feelings known about body kits that make cars pretenders on that Porcherati thread.

Careful not to step in it.

So, no.

I can "live" with "original style" kits, e.g. Rocket Bunny, Veilside, but anything that tries to make one car look like another in faux tribute/ego stroking is just, well, revolting.

OK, how about helpful versus opinion: If you truly want to aid cold air intake (always a good thing), try one of the CAIs that place the filters outside the engine compartment, out in front like an Injen or Stillen Gen 3...
