I still think the Vertex bodykit is the best lookin. It goes with all the lines.

Vertex is a very good kit, but with the intercooler the front bumper will need modifications to fit.

Damn I was thinkin the same thing. How much will it cost to customize it to fit the FMIC? I think the FMIC will look nice with the Vertex bodykit though. Would you guys buy a replica Vertex bodykit? I found replicas for like 800. The real Vertex is special ordered from Japan and will take at least 6-9 weeks for shipment. And it runs for at least 1800 and made of fiberglass.

You can search ACP's posts (he usually has detailed pics of everything he does to his Z) for info on the modifications he had to make to the Vertex kit. His GReddy was installed in Jan '04 I think, so go back to Feb. Or you could PM him, or visit his site, autocarparts.com and click on the project 350z for detailed pics.
Personally, I would wait for the genuine Vertex, which will take a while to arrive if none are currently in the US. I have nothing against replica kits; but for this kit with its' large rear bumper and full front bumper, I would go with a proven mold.

The money you save on getting the replica, the shop will make up for in the installation. The more work I do to fit the kit, the more I charge. No aftermarket bodywork fits like OEM, but a good company will give you a head start.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the KBS bumper? I think that KBS kit with the cf splitter is amazing! It has both a dramatic touch and a touch of elegance...

I'm really liking the do-luck kit, both the regular and widebody.
