Smile Bat's VIS CF Hood, US Spec Nismo Sideskirts and Rear Underwings(PICS)

Finally got around to installing my VIS CF hood. I had one on my Celica and was pretty pleased with the quality, so I got one for my Z . I also upgraded to the US Spec Nismo Sideskirts and Rear Underwings. Difference in these vs the Japan Spec is the buldges on the sideskirts are more pronounced, as are the rear underwings. I'm really pleased with this kit. More pics soon, enjoy!

I think i like the jap side wings better. I love the hood though! I have a DB too and am very seriously considering a hood, although i think i want some vents, probably the seibon TS. I think you posted the other day about fitment problems, were you able to get it aligned better?

they look good however the left guage overlay did not come out good as it was hard to get it in correctly. The middle and right came out perfect. I still have not tried the strut tower brace.

No hoodpins for me. I didn't have hoodpins on my Celica either.

None. The stock hood is pretty light to begin with.

Good comparison between the US and Japan Spec versions of the Nismo side skirts, thanks for the pic.
