Default Lip kits and body question

Will all lip kits fit an 08 or would I need to find one that is 07-08 specific? Sorry for such a basic question, but I figured I would throw that out there since my next question is if anyone has a lip kit for sale (PPW is a plus)?

I also wanted to double check that a spoiler that says it will fit an 07 will also fit an 08. I would think so, but it wasn't specifically listed.

Thanks in advance.

Joe

It really depends on which kit you go with. If you go with a lip kit and it claims it will fit an 07' (2007-2008 = Same car), you should be good. Keep in mind that it has to fit an 06-08' as the front bumper has slightly changed compared to recent 03-05' Z's. If you're really unsure, give mike from GX auto a call...he'll help you out.

Sides and rears shouldn't be a problem.

What are you looking into?

Well, I'm not sure what kits are really even available. What I'd really like to do is extend the body lines of the car. I would want something that is still low key, but different. I don't necessarily have to be the only person on the island with the kit, but that is always a plus. I was thinking about just doing the Nissmo front lip, but I'm not sure if there are sides and a rear to go with it...
I'm really just starting to play with the idea. I'm normally much quicker to jump into performance stuff (especially f/i, see my signature haha), but with the car being brand new and actually having a warranty I'm trying to hold off for now.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Joe

woah hold on. just so you know its 03-05 and 06-08 that are the same as far as lip kits. dont buy an 06 thinking it will fit an 03. anything that fits an 06 will work on and 07 and a 08.

whoops, I stand corrected...slipped my mind. Jamie is right on this one...06-08 bumpers are exactly the same.

It's the tax you pay for coming stock with awesome headlights and tails.

I've always liked the vs1 front and sides. Ultimately the best kit I like is the Ings LX lip kit
