Lightbulb Any comments about this bodykit?

I'm planning to replace my nismo vr. 3 bodykit with the new chargespeed widebody jgtc kit, i kno....but i want more and the amuse kit is wayyyyy too much for something that looks like my car cept the fenders.....so this kit has really grabbed my attention, but wat are ya'lls thoughts? go ahead and save or nay?


Current kit on car *sry for crappy pics, only ones i could scrounge up*




Possible new kit

Personally I like the nismo better than the chargespeed. But if you do pick up a new kit, would you sell the sides and front??

Save your money and go a different route. The chargespeed kit is nice, but I don't know, something about that rear is throwing me off. Your kit is nice. Post more pics of other possible choices

I would consider mastergrade or do luck widebodies before the chargespeed. I thought there was a replica amuse widebody for sale in the classifieds... just a thought.

He is right! There is an Amuse replica kit going in the classifieds going for 700 shipped, I think.

Save your money for suspension. I can't tell if it's you taking a corner in the 2nd pic but it looks like a 4x4. The nismo kit looks good too and the CS is a little overwhelming IMHO.

Do NOT Do it!!!!! The only thing I like on the chargespeed is the front!! Use the money elsewhere on the car!

Yes,..
Nismo is much cleaner and only difference are the side skirts and rear..
I would get the font fenders, but look for a different rear fender/ bumper setup.
Not worth doing IMO,..your car looks great already..

Leave it. Your Z is unique as is....keep your Nismo kit it is what it is. Anybody with a 350z can get a CS widebody; but can't/shouldn't put OEM Nismo body kit on unless its a real Nismo. Keep it.

Hey PM'd you on the "Speaks with no negro dialect" comment. How about PMing me on exactly the meaning. Whether you know it or not there are alot of people of different ethnic backgrounds on this and especially the Pacific Forum...your comments could be taken offensive whether intended or not. You may need to think before you make a negative connotation in reference to race.

^^^
It was a joke... Hence the " " marks... How about you google it to find the meaning....

By the way, what do you mean people can't/shouldn't put OEM nismo kits on their cars if they aren't real nismos... People do it all the time...
Is there a rule somewhere that I missed???

First: You don't even know the definition of quotation marks. Evidently you are lacking in that area of education. Let me school you.

Definition: The primary function of quotation marks is to set off and represent exact language (either spoken or written) that has come from somebody else.

Second: The comment you made was a racist comment period. The comment was made about our current Black President from someone with racist views and not made as joke. You might as well have said the "N" word. I don't find your racist comment funny but only offensive. There are alot people of different ethnic backgrounds on this and especially the Pacific Forum. This isn't personal email. You don't know me or anybody here, only that we have one thing in common, a 350z. I suggest you keep your racist comments and views to yourself. This is coming from a African Amercan Male on the forum. Making comments like this, you'll be subject to banning or thread deleted. As I stated, if you want to continue to state your racist comments and views, PM me. We can discuss them one on one. Other than that, don't dirty up the thread as you did with negative, racist comments whether intended to be funny or not.
