I got it off ebay, some guy bought it but didnt end up fitting it. Got it for a steal at £100. They are normally like £300.

Dont know about the fitment yet, as i only did a very rough fit myself. But it seemed ok. Its in the bodyshop on wednesday, so ill be able to give you an answer on fitment when i get it back at the weekend :thumbs:

Picked the car up from the bodyshop. Am so so happy with the result! And the colour match is spot on! It really finishes off the back end with the spoiler as well.

Apparently being fibreglass it wasent the easiest to fit, and they had to make up a bracket for the boot release/licence plate bulbs, but they got there in the end.

They did say one bit cracked when they were trying to fit it, but the re-fibreglassed that bit it and it was fine.

 

Yeh it is overall a good fit. But there is a little bit one side that isnt completely flush. But you have to really look closely to notice.

Ok so its been a while since ive updated this thread, but a few things have happened.

 

Firstly I got myself a new exhaust as the Japspeed one i had never sat straight and developed a rattle in the tailpipes so it had to go. I found this HKS catback on Ebay for a good price. Ive never seen one of these on a 350z, but it fits, looks and sounds good.

Next i had an issue with the lower control arms, so seeing as the garage had to take apart the suspension anyway, i decided to have the coilovers that i bought ages ago fitted. As well as looking better sitting a little lower, the handling difference is mega.

Car looks completely different from page 1 to now! Looks mega now, love the chargespeed rearB)

 

Yeh just a little! Haha. Thanks mate, im just after a small front lip to go with the rest of the body and then its pretty much how i want exterior wise. Yeh Chargespeed rear was a must! The rear bumper was the one thing i really didnt like stock as it tucks up really high.

My vote is a mines style lip for the front, best option for keeping standard bumper ;)

Yeah I agree! Might have to look out for one myself :lol:

So after 2 1/2 years of ownership the time came to trade in the 350z for something newer... A 370z!

I have loved every minute of owning the car and put a lot of time and money into it!

Here are some Before and After pictures showing how much the car changed:
