Hey Bat, is this the official US Spec or the replica that Performance Nissan is selling? I doubt the real US Spec is out yet since NISMO US went silent on this kit due to fitment issue.

Hey Bat are you getting the full treatment (Front bumper, side skirt, rear winglets and spoiler)? What material CF or just the Fiberglass. Can't wait for This Saturday to check it out and see the fitment.

For those with authentic J-spec NISMO rear wings, what is/are the reason(s) you purchased the more expensive J-spec NISMO over the less expensive fiberglass replicas available? What are the differences, and does anyone know if the US-spec NISMO body kit pieces will be any different than the J-spec ones, except of course for English instructions?

Anyone know where one can purchase an authentic J-spec NISMO rear wing, now?

Going with the sides and rear and Veilside Version 1 lip in urethane. I didn't want to go fiberglass for the bumper plus I don't really care for the look of the Nismo one. The centerpiece of the lip will be left unpainted(it comes in black urethane) to match the grill.

Seriously, does anyone have an estimated release date? I read an article that stated that the hold-up for U.S.-spec NISMO body kit pieces, was related to U.S. regulations on fiberglass reinforced plastic body pieces, meaning NISMO is forced to created the pieces out of something other than FRP, like they use for J-spec NISMO body kit pieces.

Blue Batmobile,
Did you get your z back from performance yet?
Don't forget many of us are waiting to see your body kit.
If your bodykit Fiberglass quality is very high and fitment is really good, i'm sure many of us will order performance Nismo body kit this weekend.
Please post your Z pics and review the kit for us.
Thanks!

Yup, got the kit, and I must say it looks fantastic!!!! Jason and Jeff were very helpful throughout the order. Fitment is excellent and quality is top notch! Why wait for the real deal when you can get a high quality replica at a fraction of the cost from the guys at Performance Nissan . I will be at the meet tomorrow so any of you going, can see for yourself.
