Hey i'm looking for some local ( within an hours drive of new tampa ) bodyshops that would be large enough to order parts from say Kaminari and Nismo with ease. Paint + install would also be required. I don't know many in the area that's why i'm posting.
I'm looking to add a Kaminari ram air hood and Nismo Wing and if i can avoid the insane shipping prices i'm seeing on online sites by buying from a shop who receives them in quantity or by large dealings with these two companies i'd really like to. Anyway leave some names and contact information if you know any i'd greatly appreciate it.

Hey, I'm in New Tampa too - - I don't know any good body shops in the area, but I'll be waiting to see if somebody can point you towards a good one. I'll check with my son, maybe he knows or his friends know where to go - - As far as Nismo goes, I bought my Nismo exhaust from Ferman, they gave me a good price ( a little less than offered by Performace Nissan (posts alot) and I didn't have to worry about shipping costs. - - good luck with you Z, what color is yours, in case I see you around New Tampa.

 

My current Z is a Redline Enthusiast. Stock as of now as far as exterior qualities go but I just ordered a grille and the Nismo wing. I may have it painted at Ferman being as I know the Body shop manager well since my roomate's car was there for ever almost lol. I live in Emerald Pointe if that rings a bell.

 

My son mentioned either checking with Racing Zone or a place called

Gene Perez Body Repairs
5131 W Hanna Ave, Tampa, FL 33634
(813) 239-3616
(813) 881-9700

His friend has had some stuff done there - other than that ??

My Z is a Chrome Silver Performance model, we're in West Meadows, I'm not sure where Emerald Point is??

 

if you go past 75 on bruce b downs towards bears it's the first light past lowe's. make a left there and emerald pointe townhomes are on the left hand side. piece of cake to find. and yeah i've heard of gene perez i'm told they do the best work in town. mainly dealing with high end cars.

p.s. to the person who mentioned carxs i intend on getting in contact with them to get my lambo doors........in time

 

Try asking on this site, it is a 350Z club based in Tampa area:

or their new official site:

Wow - sounds like you plan on dropping a few bucks on exterior mods - keep us posted.

 

thnx westpak im actually in that group, we meet at *** the 2nd friday of every month. good times you all should come out sometime.

yeah i intend on making some mods. hopefully this time a guy doesn't run a red light in front of me and total my car ( RIP 03 chrome silver enthusiast )

List of things I have done or intend to are :

Window tint ( done today )
Cold Air Intake - have all the parts from my prior Injen one just need a new filter last one got destroyed in the accident
Stainless Steel Grill from a Nissan dealer in AZ - comes tommorrow
Clear Sidemarkers - already got them putting them on tommorrow with the new grill
Nismo Replica Wing - ordered it yesterday, prob a week or two till i get that then decide where to get it painted
Kaminari hood and side skirts - no clue when i'll get these but i'd guess by February
Sunroof - first one in tampa w00t w00t but then it got totaled lol so i have to add this again it was my fav part, going to wait until march or so since the "cold" weather and all
Last but not least - lambo doors, this is if i get another raise lol.

I think all those added up would make quiet the nice show car. I'm not loading up on performance because if you knew how I drove you'd know more power + me = bad idea

 

Cool, just make sure you don't take it to where Jeff took his!!
