Default Z Question

I'm planning on buying a body kit and spoiler for my Z, does anyone know where i can go on the island that has a good selection of kits and spoilers? Or even a local website i can check that would show me pictures of what it looks like on the Z before i buy it? I have a crapy imagination. Thanks guys...

check forumshawaii.net. they always have some used or new stuff on there. you can try kitworx? but do not get it painted from there! they have no body work skills what so ever. cheapest kits are usually online. i usually buy from intense motorsports in arizona. ask for darren. best place for paint is gx auto ask for mike

Is there a website I can go on to view the different kits on the Z and allow me to purchase it?

Not worried about painting or install. My friend will do it for me.

try origin lab. made in japan. each part is stamped with a serial number. fits pretty good. minimal work for your friend. i have it on my car

better yet you should sell your car and just buy mines.

shine auto makes great replicas of some of the more popular kits. other then them i would recommend sticking with an authentic though, and no matter what i would never buy a body kit from kitworkz. there isnt anywhere local at all where i would recommend buying a body kit. I got my kit from BulletProof Automotive. They're a good place to go for rare authentic japanese kits but expect atleast a 6 month wait for it to get here depending on what you're looking for.
Here's mine, Varis Arsing 1 front lip and sides, Damd rear diffuser, my wing is still being painted.

Also it sounds like you want something a little aggressive (read:racey but not salad bar fast and the furious-ish) the most common is the nismo v1, i've got the nismo v2 which is in my opinion the nicest but absurdly expensive so i don't recommend it to anyone, my spoiler cost more then most peoples body kits, although i think theres a couple replica's out there now but i dont know how their fitment is.
Here's the V1:

and here's the V2:

+1 shine is reasonably priced and fits really good. i've seen the guys at gx auto install brandon's kit and it fit like a glove.

If your looking for a decent listing, the body section has a sticky with a website that has alot of kits pictured at diffrent angles.

Give that a try, the more selections help narrow down what you want. Also the best prices are definately off island. There is too much of a price increase here on island for what you are getting. Hell for most parts in genral. It takes a lot of looking to get a dealer local that has a good selection at a decent price.

You should come out to one of the meets...plenty of guys here have body kits or lip kits...that way you can see what you like in person...but beware once you start modding your car...you can't stop!!!
