But the fitments for all the parts are all fine, just noticed this little thing only!

I ordered mine in late 02 and got it in Feb. of 03.
I had to wait about three months for delivery. The kit was around $1400 (I got only the rear skirts, the side skirts and the wing...no front bumper). The shipping was around $400. The duty and taxes etc were another couple hundred bucks.
All this and one of my side skirts was damaged big time in delivery. The body guy who painted and installed mine fixed it easily with fiberglass at an additional $100 which I eventually recovered from the shipping company under the seller's insurance.
Oh yeah, fitment was perfect.

REAL nismo kits are 100% fiberglass. they come individually numbered on the inside of each piece with the nismo logo.
my kit came sanded down from Japan.. i think the first sets they actually test fitted on vehicles... mine was painted, and I installed it myself with zero fitment problems.

i dont see why we cant call the replicas nismo they are based off the same things. its just not feasible for some of us to ship the real deal. who cares anyways! its not like im showing it off at car shows or anything. i remember a while ago there was a company selling replica veilside kits that were way better quality than the originals.
