I just received my Nismo Replica kit last night.

Bought it off EBay as well for $584 Shipped.

Very thick High Quality fiberglass. Now I just need to find a prestigious body shop in the south sound area.

FYI
I was quoted $2950 from Japanparts.com for the genuine NISMO kit, this included shipping to Cali. if you pay by paypal there is a 3.9% surcharge

add painting and install and tax and your around $ 5,000

Replica less than half that.

No kidding, I'm waiting on my front Veilside 1 lip to arrive at Performance Nissan. I got the replica sides and rear from Jason. They're doing the paint and install. Can't wait! Hopefully, it'll be ready for the meet on the 20th.

But most people including myself can't afford to buy the real thing. That's why I said "if you can afford it"

I know, it sucks. But if nobody bought replicas, the prices would come down. I doubt that would ever happen though (boycotting replicas)

Hmmmm, don't know about that. If they priced it competitively, then people will more likely buy the real deal. Thus sales would not be significantly affected. Don't you think?

Speaking of replicas, anyone have any feelings about Extreme Dimensions? They're one of the companies that are producing the NISMO replicas.

Just like PErformance we have had great luck with our Nismo replica kits

In stock full kits, parts, and wings.

Remember all fiberglass isnt perfect and you always have to do something to them to make it right. IT's the price we pay for having fun...

Most of our kits require minor sanding to paint prep them.
