Default Finally...

Car arrive to dealership 2 1/2 weeks ago, but took them until now to install Nismo body kit. Suppose to be full kit, but front chin didn't fit and they didn't order the rear chin. I am getting money back for both so I'll live. Plus didn't really like the Nismo rear so turn out for better. Can anyone recommend front and rear body kit?


Some pic:









Love the 2.5" antenna.


Going to take my time installing:

1) Computer (GPS, DVD, games, internet, and etc.)
2) Rims
3) Exhaust

You need to get some morning pictures of her, before the light gets too bright. She does look tasty, regardless!

Looks Sweet. I'd wait until the Nismo Front spoiler for the 06 comes out. There are not to many front spoilers right now that will fit the 06. For rears take a look at the Top Secret rears. I really like those.

It took your dealership 2.5 weeks to complete your body kit install??? Why so long? I'd be pissed. I bought my full USDM Nismo Bodykit from Avalonracing.net and recieved it with no problems. I got it painted shortly and then did the install myself. It took me 4 hours to completely install. I did puncture my windshield washer resevor while installing the front lip but the instruction manuel did warn me against it but i forgot and made a mistake. No big deal. All in all, it really wasn't a very difficult install. With general nowhow and patience it can be done yourself.

Then came the Graphics...which i did myself also. This took me about an hour and half to do. I followed the instructions and it was not hard at all.

I wanted the dealer to do it because the warranty would be 3 years (at time of car purchase) instead of 1. After 1st week, I was pissed. They kept on giving me different finish dates. When, the time came, dealer said it would take another 1-3 days. Looking back, don't think it was the dealer's fault. Only took them 2-3 hours to install them after all the parts were painted and area were ready for install. The painting part took a long time. 1) Took 3 days for the kit to arrive. 2) The dealer sent the kit out to be painted by somebody. That place took 1 week to get it done. I have to say the matching is perfect. 3) The aero kit come with the car. Thus, taking the aero wing out left holes that did not match with the Nismo wing. So, dealer had to send the car back to the body shop to fill and paint the trunk. That took another week or so. Add them all together, 2 1/2 weeks. Got really **** at the end, but the wait was worth it.

Well that don't sound that bad i guess. Actully, i did have to wait about 2.5 weeks to have my kit painted so i guess that sounds all about right. You know what, when i think about how long it took for me to get, paint, and install my kit, i actully waited longer then you...hehehe...go figure.
