Body kits or an individual bumper

[Lauren_Davinaz]

So I have a question. 
would a Z look ok with just an aftermarket front bumper and a rear diffuser? Obviously lowered with wheels… or would it look weird.

 

is it better to just buy a body kit?  I don’t want to go too mad with my Z  but I do want to achieve a more aggressive look. 
 

thanks

There’s endless options, have a look on google images etc to get ideas but personally I prefer mods on front, rear and sides for the most aggressive look

 

If you’re going for a rear diffuser you can add some spats onto the rear bumper to finish it off

 

Side steps look good but I prefer aftermarket side skirts, the standard skirts are too flat. Or even better, side steps added onto aftermarket skirts

@LRF4N thank you for your opinion, I was thinking about getting a liberty walk front bumper and some side skirts with a rear diffuser, I don’t really want to change the rear bumper though. 
 

i have been playing with this idea for about a year now, thought about making my own diffuser as well, as I work in the trade. 
i have so many ideas of how I want my z to look.  I have even drawn it up in a programme. 😂

Stick up the images of what you have drawn 👍🏼

 

Diffusers can look good on their own but sometimes they just look stuck on and out of place. Spats definitely help

 

Also sometimes spats with a diffuser with a gap in between doesn’t look quite right 

 

Might be worth looking at spats with a custom diffuser to finish it off, if you can make them all flow as if it’s almost one piece 

 

Or look at a rear lip

I've been thinking about options for mine, it needs a new front bumper, wings and a full respray.  A lot of bodykits are a bit too much for me, might just end up with stock front bumper with a splitter and side skirt add ons.

 

Doesn't the Liberty Walk kit require 370z lights?

I will definitely be uploading them to her so u can see, and I have been thinking more and more about making a diffuser as well. 
going to go for a body kit pretty much I think.

 

 

also @SW66TTT yes it is but I’m going to modify it x) so it fits

lovely kit looks good

Don't overlook simple lips, sidesteps and a diffuser.

It can look absolutely stunning if done right as illustrated below

You can achieve pretty much any look that you're wanting and you can mix and match like I did. Personally feel 350zs desperately need sideskirts to achieve a uniform look if they have front and rear bumpers but the world really is your oyster on these. This was mine with Nismo V1 front, V1 sideskirts, chargespeed rear and V3 rear spoiler

Wow this is stunning! It’s nice to see someone mix and match parts with a 350z as I wanted to do something similar. 
 

the chargespeed bumper really makes it look aggressive! 
 

thank you! @Olly350z

those cars all look awesome 😍

You gotta love how well Zeds suit different body mods.

Can you imagine trying to do stuff like this to an Audi TT.

 

Wouldn't work at all.

I suppose that's one reason why the Zed community is so strong.

There's always so much new and refreshing things to see at meets and on owners clubs/forums

Have you considered this along with any of the side skirts and rear diffusers above.

Yes I have been looking at that tbh, I’ve been thinking about buying a bumper I like and modifying it. I’m going to  paint a design on the wings too 

[GranTurismoEra]

On the inserts? Looks like its all in one unlike the 370 were its an insert might be wrong! Ive only seen it in Red or Black....Thats the first place ppl looked when I had the 370 Nismo.....then the badge lol

 

can design a one off  as in bumper itself. if you know a place thats does that not very common ofcourse. Pricey.

Right! It’s been decided I am buying a plain front bumper and will be modifying it myself to make it look how I want it, as there’s hardly any that I like lol. 
 @everyone

wish me luck!
