Question How to make one's Z look more like the 2001 Z Concept?

Has anyone found out how a Z owner could make his/her 350Z look more like the Z Concept from 2001?

Specifically...

1. the 20"+ wheels that are much nicer than stock
2. the Benz-style turn signals embedded in the mirrors
3. rear-bumper with centrally-located exhaust

I realize that many aftermarket companies have offerings that mimic the above, but nobody seems to be making direct knock-offs of the show-car components...

...or am I just not seeing what's out there?

Eeek, I never realized how high off the ground the concept Z was....In any case, i think there is a company who sells the turn signal embedded side mirrors but theyre very expensive and as for the wheels, you can buy something aftermarket.

There's a company that makes the mirrors with the turn signals, I wanted them too until I found out that they're $800 a set. Just do a search and you'll find them.
EvoR sells the front lights, where the reflectors are, for about $170 I think and they look really nice.
As for the center mounted exhaust CTD-Germany.com makes something that I'm assuming could be easily modified to look the concept car.
On the wheels I say GOOD LUCK!

What does the rear of the concept Z look like? Is there an album of concept Z photos anywhere?

lucky for a few people that they didnt do that, that rear exhaut and brake lights there would have made the half bumper replacements near impossible.

Here's the link to Primaru's website...http://www.primaru.com/350z_index.html ... try bulletproofautomotive.com and see if they can get it for you (you might want to pm MATIX on here) because I searched and searched and could not find it.

Hope this helped...

You could probably place LED's in the stock mirror, it'd probably be cheaper. Or you could try to get EVO-R to start R&D on them.
