Hello, been a huge fan of the Z's since I have been a kid and finally have my first Z. I went with the roadster and I want to give it some extra pop by putting a body kit on it. I have already made the mistake of buying a body kit that does not fit it because I learned after the fact that Coupe exterior body kit parts do not fit on Roadster Body. Super Unfortunate...
I love the look of the rocket bunny style kit, that's what appeals to me the most, but ultimately I would be okay with Nismo style body kit as well. I have found pictures and people showing different body kits on their Roadsters, but for the life of me I CAN NOT find out where I can buy what I am looking for.
Has anyone had any luck or can point me in the right direction? I can find kits all day long for the coupe obviously but I cant for the Roadster. Car is completely apart right now as I wait to find a kit to buy and install.
Thanks for any and all help! Wheels I have for it. Engine bay, also have headers, cat back exhaust with titanium tips, and more. Side shot of the car. Plan to paint and change color!
The main pieces between the ZR and coupe are interchangeable - front and rear bumper, side skirts, front fenders. The trunk is different and requires a different spoiler specifically for the ZR. Obviously, there's the roof. What kit did you buy that doesn't fit? It's probably just based on poor fitment of the kit and not the fact it's a ZR.

It's more of a knock off Rocket Bunny. Fenders, Grill, Quarter Panel Flares. They just don't line up right with torquing or bending the fender or bumper more than I should or fabbing it to make it make sense. The body lines just don't seem to line up right and Fitment is rough.
Here's the farthest we've gotten. It looks good from afar but the body lines just won't line up.
I'm guessing that's an issue with the fact it's a replica knock off kit. I bet there would be poor fitment on a coupe as well. Unfortunately, if you want good fitment, you've got to go authentic, but that's $$$
As far as a Nismo kit, I'm guessing you're going for replica as well. Which style - N1, N2, or N3?

I just searched through that site and again maybe I am just confusing myself, but I am not finding Roadster Kits just Coupe. From the research I did they said the body panels are just slight different to tailor to the convertible function of the vehicle. SO FRUSTERATING!!!
It looks like you're already deep into making that cheap RB style kit fit correctly, but if you abort and go with any of the Nismo body styling kits, they match up fine with the roadster.
N1 is just the front add on lip, side skirts, and rear add ons. They fit the roadster.
N2 is a different front bumper and the other pieces from the N1 with a different wing. Again, the wing won't fit the trunk of the ZR without some fabrication.
N3 is a different front bumper, different side skirts, different rear bumper, and different wing than the 1 and 2. Everything fits fine, again, except for the wing.
I have the N2 front bumper on my ZR. It fits fine. I also had the rear add ons from the N1/2 for a little bit. Again, fitment was good.
Here's an example where the N3 was fitted on a ZR. No major fabrication required.
