you mean this skirt? not bad!

goes well with your wheels.

when one says body kit, im thinking like bumpers and sills and wings and all... not just the sills.

Yes indeed, thanks Ken! No full kit for me though. I just enjoy the OG front and rear.

I honestly think that a stock body lowered on wheels makes more of a visual impact than a kit on a car with stock wheels. Especially considering the base wheels are kind of.. "meh" for a lack of a better word.

I remember doing everything but the wheels first. Wheels were last. In hindsight, I would have done the wheels before anything else. I really liked how the stock Rays looked until I started going to meets and that's when I started to drool over wheels.
I voted wheels first.

This, theres a difference between putting on an Amuse kit or a subtle Stillen front lip.

I suggest some wheels!

I love the Rohana RC10's... I also have a silver Z. Here's a couples pics of Javi's 370z.

What color is your car? You might want to hit up one of the threads for your specific paint color for some inspiration.

Never mind. Go hit up the BS thread: Official Brilliant Silver 370Z Thread
