Jesus H Christ, just wait until your back in town, order a correct kit that actually fits and makes the car look good and call it a day.

trust me, you might not care that others find it ugly looking. when you go out in public, it will be like paying thousands of dollars to be laughed at. =/ now why would you want that? keep it simple man, 350z are born sexy.

Serious thread is serious! Dude I actually like the first one you posted but its a bit extreme and would requite more than just body kit to pull off imo. The second one is LOL.

Amazon is a great place to find stuff though. I usually buy rare Japanese black market videos there but I guess a bodykit would be ok

first one would require different wheels than the ones you just bought so ud have to shell out some money for new wheels after you had the kit mounted and painted if you wanted it to look decent. if you want a widebody go with mastergrade! they make good stuff

I don't understand people who ask for opinions then get pissed when you give them an honest one.. They're ugly and cheap and you need to rethink your plan!

Who said I was pissed? I asked for an opinion.

I don't want a kit that looks like everybody elses though, how would that be fun?



Don't stray from the group guys, you might feel different, and different is weird- and wrong... right?

And we're telling you our opinions, but you don't like them. So get what you want

We're just warning you that you'll get laughed at by all other Z owners if you get either of those kits

As per one of my previous questions,

What should I be looking at, price wise, for a decent kit?

I am doing my financial planning now, so I can get the wife onboard with the change. I've already got her to agree to a turbo (not soon, probably next year), paint, and a body kit- I just have to figure out how much it is going to cost, so we can budget for it.

I, unlike wasuber, do not have a mighty pile of cash to shovel in my car.

I'm not sure if he really does have a mountain of cash, but I mean... his car...s.... they are so nice... I cry a little on the inside when I see them.

You really don't need a pile of cash to make the Z look good. Have you looked into more simple body kits? Maybe the Nismo V2 or Amuse?





If cost is an issue, there are a few vendors on here who make pretty decent replicas of both kits that actually fit good.

I definitely like those kits, but I see a lot of people with them- I guess if I were to get either of those kits I could always go with a different paint scheme to stand out.

why me? lol, pretty sure it took me 3 years to build that car but oh well. Not like it took overnight! Oh and don't worry no one would dare laugh in your face around here, at least not in person. Get the one YOU want. I think 75% of the kits that are slammed together on the cars on this site are ****** ugly anyway. **** there are quite a few in the NW that are hideous to look at but they are too busy nut hugging vendors to notice thier cars are ugly

Good luck on your kit search.
