we talk to the heads of motor sports on a monthly basis... and we order parts from them daily...

and we ask the same question...

where are our body kits...

their last response was...

"they have no eta"

and that is what is has been for months...

we are just as upset as you if not more...

What do you suggest for black exterior? I really would want to buy this but I have nothing NISMO on the car except shift ****.. It would be weird sporting NISMO so hard, with no Nismo items.

In the lunch time meetings we have had with NISMO product development teams we have always in each and every single one stressed on getting the body kits released...

they are trying...

it is going to be an S-Tune product... IT is going to have PERFECT fitment... It is going to be molded out of the same material out of the stock bumpers...

It is not going to be a junky kit... NISMO does it rite...

So if you want to get upset with nismo for not releaseing a product yet because it is not up to their standards that is your choice...

They are working on it... but WE and NISMO are not quoting any dates because the day that date comes and the part is not here people are upset...

So for now... NO ETA...

For a black car I would say the RED / BLACK / GREY set...

The WHITE would stick out way to much and the GREY would be a nice highlight...

Its more for styling... its like a more agressive pin stripe kit... IT would look good on a car with no NISMO parts and on a car with a full NISMO kit...

Jason, I am not upset at you, I am pissed at Nissan (yes, they have heard my complaints, both as a consumer and someone who is inside Nissan). Fact of the matter is, IF they really wanted to get the kit done, it WOULD be, I don't care what it is made out of, everybody knows this.

Was at our dealer the other day gettting some warrenty work done, grabbed an 04 Z brochure while I was waiting, guess what is in there, that EXACT picture you posted and it talks about Nismo Wheels, body kit and stickers, looks like the ONLY Nismo product I actually want is being FALSE advertized as being available. I wish Nissan actually had a clue and realized that they are loosing market share the longer they take. People are opting for other kits because they are tired of waiting. Honda and Nissan have a long way to go before they catch up with Toyotas TRD division, what a shame, so many promises, and little delivery.

I agree, pretty lame putting a nismo sticker kit on a car with NO nismo stuff on it. Kind of like putting "AMG" stickers on a E430 or an "M" sticker on a 330ci. No thanks!!!!

I know you are not pissed at me... I am not pissed at you... I am just as disapointed as you... Jeff and I had to put replica kits on our car we want the nismo stylee so bad we went out of our way to get replica's... it is easier for us to get a nismo part then anything else...

we are happy with our kits of course... but would have loved for them to be real nismo kits... but we do not want to shell out 2grand for a flimsy fiberglass nismo bumper from japan... if you want i can get one for you.. but be ready to $...

NISMO is working on it... at one point they had them ready to go... but in fitment... ooops! they didnt fit well at all to their standards...

so we just have to see...

i didnt care for the nismo stripes in the pictures i saw....

then i saw a 350z with the full authentic nismo body kit, rims and stickers last night. that thing was beautiful!

i think one day, i will be adding those stripes to my car too, now.

jason, my friend dave talked to you about shipping your replica nismo bumper to hawaii and you said it would be crazy expensive... i guess i have to wait for the authentic one to be released locally. thanks for checking into it though.

Even if I had Nismo products and I would only purchase body kit stuff because I don't think any S-tune products do a thing for performance on our cars. I would never put Nismo stickers on my baby...sorry just one mans opinion.
