Could somebody give me some opinions/advice?
 
I own a 2009 Brilliant silver 370z. With income tax I want to add a body kit to my car. I am torn between a Full Nismo kit, and a full stillen kit. I've been trying for the last two weeks and I cannot make up my mind. I love them both. What would you choose? Also, does anyone have any pictures either kits in brilliant silver? I've tried looking for the stillen kit in silver and couldn't find any :( Thanks!

Stillen front, Nismo or Amuse rear

I was actually thinking about that but I didn't know if it would flow well.

Go with Hfc, Cbe, Cai. Low on some rims. The car was designed cosmetically fine.

I'm partial to the fujimura front end if you're considering the stillen. Similar design but the fujimura just has that extra level of finesse.

Stillen FTW!

1. Cheaper than most
2. Functional
3. Quick to replace if tore. Stillen can make these in a day.

Check out my journal for pics of Stillen front, Amuse rear.

Romulus1 01-31-2013 05:44 PM

^ agreed. Performance first and then forget both those kits. Go amuse

Yeah the stillen is a lot cheaper than the Nismo kit. I'm leaning a little more towards the stillen, but I really love the Sleekness of the Nismo. And the Nismo rear + wing is beautiful! By the way I tried looking in your album I couldn't find any 370z pics. Only a 350z?

I love the Amuse kit. But it's like $3500 isn't it? Does Amuse have a website I could order the kit from if i wanted?

Here you go. First page of my journal, there not in my albums.

Thanks! Your car looks amazing. About how much did it cost to paint the stillen bumper if you dont mind me asking.

SPOHN 01-31-2013 06:00 PM

Not sure. At the time I had 5K of work done.

Cmike2780 01-31-2013 06:01 PM

A Nismo conversion kit is going to cost around $4-$5k...unless you mean an s-tune kit. I'd personally go with a nice lip kit...maybe side skirts and call it a day. Spend the rest on performance mods.

JoeZ91 01-31-2013 06:28 PM

Well I called my nissan dealership, and the full Stillen kit would cost $1900 to order and install. I would just have to get it painted. Full nismo kit would be around $2800 + install and already the nismo kit already comes painted. Does the stillen kit lower the car a lot?

God damn I love that car... Stillen Front and Amuse rear looks awesome.

Nismo is a common look, plus don't be a clone. Yes painting will take a little more money but in the end you will be happier. Not a lot of these kits around..

My 2 cents..

Yeah guys, I think I'm going to go with a full Stillen body kit. One more quick question, if I were to get a fast intention exhaust, would a EVO-R CF rear diffuser work with that? I heard there might be fitment issues?

STILLEN 370Z Body Kits & Aero Components | STILLEN

I don't think Stillen has a rear bumper!

If you are getting the Amuse Rear Bumper some guys have taken some metal strap from Home Depot and screwed it on with the existing screws to help secure it. Its mainly held on by 3M two sided tape..

I've seen it work and I almost got it myself. It will be tight but you could adjust how the mufflers hang slightly. Mine would have been tight, but still fit

check the vendors on the site, you can probably get a replica for about $2000 give or take. Well worth it if you ask me. I'll be doing the front and rear finally on mine when my tax return comes through. I already have Nismo sides and Evo-R high wing

You May need to have what ever shop you have install the exhaust get the tips to sit lower. The FI exhaust sits up nice and perfect in the cut outs.

Cmike2780 01-31-2013 10:49 PM

The Nismo S-Tune comes painted...not the same kit thats found on the "Nismo" which comes unpainted since those are basically replacemt parts for a real Nismo.

JoeZ91 02-01-2013 10:33 AM

Thanks for all the replies so far! I'm going to order then stillen front and sides for sure. But for the rear, would the EVO-R high wing and rear diffuser look good? I don't know how it would flow with the Stillen

Check out this thread. May help you get an idea of how it will look.
