Duraflex Nismo body kit
 
Alright, I've been looking at purchasing a nismo body kit for my 370z but do not want to pay the high price. Found out about the duraflex version and was wondering if its worth it and how good is the quality? the fit? and if anyone out there has it on their cars, if so please repost with pics and suggestions about it. thank you.

Is it an exact replica? I've seen really crappy knockoffs on ebay.

I've never heard anything good about Duraflex. Expect to spend all your cost savings on getting it to fit right.

I'm speaking from experience. When I had a 350z, I took the "cheaper" route and bought their Veilside Version 3 Widebody kit and the fitment was completely horrible...I spent a couple thousand going back and forth with the front bumper alone. It would bend very easily and the paint would crack. I tried numerous times to re-enforce it, to hold it stiff but where the headlights corner meet the bumper, it would always crack and from there it would just spread. So I took it off and never even touched the other parts. My advice to you, spend the money on OEM or go Amuse or Zele. Stay away from Duraflex. Sometimes, the high price is worth it when it comes to qaulity.

The niz kit really isn't worth the expense or trouble fitting, I would simply add some better wheels and tires once you wear them out or have your stock wheels powder coated black and gold would really set off the car.

I have basically the same Z as you accept for some factory upgrades and you can see how simple wheels make a big difference.

I had figured that it wouldn't be worth it but just had to make sure. I appreciate all the advise, really helps. I recently did pick up a set of wheels for my car just haven't put them on yet being its winter in my area and the car is out away. I picked up mrr gt1 wheels in black with machined lip. 4" deep dish outta add a nice look to my z.
