Default Non OEM Nismo body kit

If there is a thread that already exits please let me know. I have read the info regarding the OEM bumpers. I would like to know if anyone here has installed this body kit, how did it work with the existing fender liners and under engine tray and of course overall fitment?

Stay away from CariD and Duraflex parts all together. They are poor quality and will not look flush or good like the pictures portray.

You get what you pay for. You pay a little you get very little, you pay for good quality you get good quality.

Try This:

Cheapest Full Kit brand new and Authentic. Body Kits are not cheap and neither is paint. It will be a pretty penny but in the end the Z will look pretty damn good as well

If you find one used in the for sale section of the forums you are lucky and should snag it before anyone else does.

I agree, you do get what you pay for, however, if there is a less expensive body kit that looks and fits as well it's worth exploring. With that said, I really like the idea of having all authentic OEM parts and all ancellary parts. Took another look at the body kit on Z1,. That's a prior 2015 kit,. I'm looking for the 2015+ Nismo body kit.

It's truth.... though if someone local was selling their Duraflex Aimgain ripoff front bumper for <$100, I am not sure I could resist finding out just how bad the fit is. I have enough fiberglass experience to be dangerous.
