Pritchard Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Guys, Firstly let me say - any comments or opinions I make about my taste in bodykits only refers to my car. I dont intend to cause any offence if i pick out a particular peice of kit and say ' i dislike it' its only my taste, not yours So my hand is on its way to the pocket. engine mods now done its time to pick the bodykit. I have seen so much that i like. but I have one main issue. > the rear bumper. such a peeve. Everything i look at doesnt agree with me. So money isnt an object with the budget, but i cant mentally justify a very expensive kit purely due to exclusivity. so my current preferences Firstly, NO carbon. there is no place for carbon anywhere on my car. (no offence to anybody who has it. i just cant stand the stuff. its me, not you ) Front lip / bumper any. i love the Mines lip, with the curved edges. but any will do, they all look agreeable. Front Fenders: no matter the kit, im getting these!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Custom-Front-Wing-Fenders-/161386674830 Skirts any. again they have to be there, but design wise not too bothered. Spoiler only a few that i've seen that i like. nismo V1, nismo v2, and... yep, nismo V3. i appreciate the BGW designs, but i want something that looks ''GT'' not Drift. The problem I have is that looking at previous meets, like Wales, is that these Nismos are very popular. Rear bumper now here is the issue. I cant find anything that agrees with me. NEED HELP HERE! lol. The Chargespeed, Love it! but i dont want the black painted diffuser. but seeing one online that was colour coded... doesnt look right. Nismo Spats - look stuck on Stillen rear spats - look stuck on JP Visage (seen it on tarmac) - look stuck on etc. etc However the Duraflex that Tarmac has advertised is awesome! love that, but I think its a little too wild for what the rest of the kit will look like. The rear bumper is such a pain. Really I need to be replacing it rather than adding a lip to it. but other than chargespeed, i cant find anything on the UK market. What am I missing? i guess the result of what rear bump i purchase will decide on the front end and skirt (as i may well get this as a kit.) All opinions appreciated please guys. spent so long browsing. i need nuggets of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Do Luck... Tarmac is doing replicas so won't totally break the bank. It's the only kit a really like the look of and am seriously considering it for my car... although I think it has a JDM size number plate recess which would be a show stopper (Unless I get rid of my plate). I can see this becoming the new Chargespeed rear before too long, but there is a reason that the CS was/is so popular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 All I would say is, if you are going to get those fenders you will need an aggresive front bumper. The standard mines will silly with that IMO. As Paddy has suggested, going for a full kit might be the better option. Just PM Tarmac as he has more up his sleeve than a magician 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 +1 for the do luck kit. I love the charge speed too but I hate the JDM number plate recess on them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless i've not drunk enough coffee... no they dont clash? :S I'm asking for opinions. I want opinions. i was refering to my comment that followed in my post with regard to specific kits ive already singled out due to me not liking them Do Luck... Tarmac is doing replicas so won't totally break the bank. It's the only kit a really like the look of and am seriously considering it for my car... although I think it has a JDM size number plate recess which would be a show stopper (Unless I get rid of my plate). I can see this becoming the new Chargespeed rear before too long, but there is a reason that the CS was/is so popular. Do Luck - i think I saw that thread, i recall seeing a nice deep blue Z with that kit IIRC. looked pretty good. I agree that the CS comment! you could well be right.

Bodyboarder81 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Regarding the rear bumper ..... I have some nismo spats that are being put on but the body shop is blending them into the bumper..... Should get it back this weekend , ill put some pics up for you . I love the charge speed rear but on dark colours I don't think the exhaust part looks right , doesn't stand out enough . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 In your other thread, you stated you loved the orange car and you wanted to base your car on that? Why not just follow that kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i liked the colour scheme. But those were wide-arch body kits. im not taking that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I was gonna mention blending the rear spats but bodyboarder beat me to it Personally I would stay away from the nismo spats and v1 spoiler- been done to death. Chargespeed rear and amuse front are pretty common too Have you looked through the full list of spoilers and kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pritchard Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Well, its done. bought a kit Went for the Do-Luck. Really like it. It just looks right. Got some good advice from Humpy too, thanks for your tips Now just need to decide on the spoiler. I love the blitz, but would love one just a little longer. Does anyone know what raised spoiler that is above from the Amuse photos? i cant find that for sale anywhere. it doesnt show up on Amuse's site as one of theirs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
