Something is missing
 
I'm getting my car painted in March (QAB Pearl white and leaving hood, roof, hatch, and fangs black) BUT, I feel like something is missing. I was looking at getting the REAL Nismo front, rear bumpers with sideskirts...but what do you guys think? Is that not enough...too much... what?!! If you guys did some exterior work on your Z, what would you do? I love the Amuse kit, but don't know about the $5,000+ price. I'm looking at buying a new house in the next 6 months so I can't dish out too much money :( I don't wanna make it look ghetto neither, tryin to keep it sexy

Thing is, the real nismo kit is going to cost you 5k to get all the parts from Nissan. :(

Actually I already have the front and rear bumpers priced (unpainted) $1100..sides cant be more than $400.

How? Do you also have the mounting brackets needed?

Thats just for the parts...... I have a body shop doing my other modifications. He's much cheaper

Are you sure those are the actual Nismo parts and not the S-Tune?

SB350z 01-20-2010 08:02 PM

Not 100% but I told them the ACTUAL NISMO, off the Nismo Z car. But I'ma tell u something..if I take my car there..have everything installed and check out my Z and see that its the STUPID AZZ Nismo S-Tune.....they got somethin coming to 'em. I'll blow a hole up in that B*tch! I'll definitly double check before parts are ordered. So...do you think the Nismo parts are a go or no? Do you got something better in mind?!!

Not down with the S-tune. I'd rather have a Dodge Neon! SERIOUSLY! Thats just a major stupid ugly. I like the black n carbon fibre tho :)

Just to clarify the NEON thing... I used to be in-love with neons :) Had 3 before my first Z. Point taken as " I hate the S-Tune!"

If done right, s-tune kit isn't too bad

Not bad IMO. Again, just my :twocents:. I actually LOVE the regular Nismo bumper but since my car is NOT a Nismo, I can't really put a nismo bumper. S-tune is made for regular Zs.

The S-tune actually looks good blackening out the grill. I never thought of that. Oh..about the Nismo Z bumpers not fitting a regular Z...anything can be done with money :) But still won't be much at all! Its the same car with differenet bumpers so u'll just need new mounting brackets.
