Working on one in ProE, Convex Diffuser in Aluminum to mock up from rear subframe to bumper center section. I'm Hoping to have the rest in fiberglass to fabricate the more complex curves. Biggest issue is venting for the rear diff without increasing the drag also there's too many single exhaust out there to have an effective design without individual modifications.
I'd buy one of Zspeed made it. In the mean time after i fab up an exhaust its the next. I have to skin the entire bottom too though.

Also with my diffuser coming from the subframe to the rear bumper already makes a stock like curve which isn't too drastic! So I don't think muh R&D is needed to go into that one.
Also the plastic skid plates/ air diffusers thingies would be a cool item in aluminum.

If they do make a rear diffuser, I'll consider maybe looking at doing the whole V3 conversion. For the time being I have a OEM bumper with my 1st Moulding diffuser and I think it'll look fine without the V3 bumper... I just don't like faking the funk.

There's nothing much to fake!
Just do the following
People ask you if it's a real Nismo you tell them yes, not numbered though.
The Nismo decal on the 350Z was a quick cash in on Nissan's part!

Running an authentic nismo body kit is not faking the funk in my opinion. Not sure why that stigma stuck on here... "nismo owners" can say other wise, but i wgaf.
FYI:
MCR Z33 uses a VQ35DE... not really a true nismo either.

Courtesy of Samson, I was able to dress up my engine bay.
Did he get a 380RS bumper or just fill where the reflectors once were to have the clean front bumper?
BP I am also curious about a couple prices shipped up to Canada, S7M 4N1 Saskatoon Sk.
FRP Bonnet
Cannards
Tow hook
MCR exhaust is by far my most sought after exhaust!

And to not completely go off topic, time to reminisce on some Japanese shenanigans
