My plans got accelerated on doing this thanks to someone behind me deciding a red light meant don't slow down or even stop.

There aren't many people that have done a conversion with the new kit. I'd say maybe 10? I know one person on the 370z facebook group who is doing the rear bumper he said he will get it this Friday so you might want to ask there.

in my personal opinion... dont liked :/ I think they have to change the other parts (side skirts and rear bumper) to make a cleaner look...

But like I said... its my opinion... If the owner likes how it looks great haha!! cause that at the end of the day is what really matters

The new side skirts are part of what makes the 2015 look so different. It creates an entirely different visual side profile of the car. It's amazing how little that front bumper does on the Nismo pictured above with the absence of the side skirts.

Fits the under shroud, just have to make a few new holes in the shroud. Only thing you are missing, finding all those parts. Took me 2.5 months to track everything down. Parts are being painted finally now. Skirts, bumper, spats.

It looks like I can get them from my local Nissan dealer without issue. As long as I can get the main bumper cover right away I should be in good shape for now.

I got the bumper that Joe @ Zspeed used for mocking up his undershroud. Mine should be out of paint the end of next week. Monterey Blue, instead of the gun metal I went with paint match silver to the shrouds-z turn markers-door handles, and candy tangelo orange to match the current candy orange pieces I have on the car. The Monterey blue is getting blended into the door on the passenger side since I needed a new fender on that side as well painted. Front bumper, passenger fender, side skirts, aerojacket rear spats, passenger door mirror-window trim-handle removed and reinstalled, blending the door $1500

Post pics when you can. I went with rear spats also as I'm not a big fan of the 15 Nismo rear. It isn't horrible but I prefer the non-Nismo rear with spats I think it's perfect. Good job getting the side skirts too they really flesh out the car with the front bumper.
