Question Espirit body kit

does anyone have, or has anyone seen the espirit body kit on a 350z????

I'm planning on getting that one, but have never seen in on a Z in person, just in pics, and wanted to know what anyone that has seen thinks of it. and anyone that has it, how well does it fit???

It sure looks nice, but I think the front end does not match up with the front fender body lines at certain angles. You should look at several diffent angles before you decide.

Do you drive your car around to school yet Sean? I have yet to see it. Fitment looks good so far by the way!

Sean, I can't wait to see your car in person. How well do the side skirts fit?

I've been thinking about getting the side skirts from 350zforums.org. My plan is for these skirts, the Veilside V1 lip, and the Ings-Nspec rear bumper.

The picture below has this rear bumper and the Esprit side skirts. Do you think this combo would blend well?

well im not sure when im gonna get my iforged wheel back so maybe ill just post some pics

vic-fitment of the skirts are good

important thing to know is that every kit, authentic or not will require some degree of help by the body shop

when i first saw my car with the kit on it had been almost 2 months since i had seen or driven it...the rear is the best one on the market IMO because of the way it wraps the exhaust (looks great with the angled injen)

and the rear also makes the car look wider....the front changes the look a lot and i love it

it looks sooo much better without the lisence plate but i had to put it on (no i didnt drill anywhere that would be visible)...the front gives the headlights a diff shape and makes it look pretty cool

In the pictures I've seen this kit always looks good. I'm interested in the side skirts because one of mine is scraped and I need to do something and want to keep my front bumper because I have a Veilside V1 lip and LED lights coming soon.

Can't wait to see your car in person.

I love the flare of the side skirts. Unfortunately, getting the originals instead of replicas are a PITA. If anyone knows someone selling the originals, other than Bulletproof (they take too long for my taste) please post a reply.

hfm....replica body kits are not necessarily bad

and in my opinion the side skirts are pretty easy to mold so they would have the best fit over the front or rear bumpers

my sides are fine ...if you have a peave about buying replicas then i guess i cant help u otherwise you should get the replicas

I have the Nismo replica wing from Gruppe-S. The price was right at $300. The problem is the prep, paint and installation cost $550. That was mostly due to prep from the fact it was a replica. And, it's not a perfect replica.

I've decided to go with originals from here out.
