RAH Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 So, am thinking of getting some body kit onto the car. Only have it a month ('04 Kuro), and feel the need to show it some love! Nismo is looking good, but was also thinking the Speed-Racing kit (particularly the rear trim). So a couple of questions: 1. Will Nismo kit imported from the US fit? I'm in IRL, so will need to import from either UK or US. Similarly for Nismo wheels? Supplier recommendations also welcome. 2. Would the Nismo front & sides, work with the Speed-Racing rear? ie. practically will it fit the car, and secondly will it look mis-matched? Planning to go without a spoiler for the mo. Any thoughts/advice, gratefully received. Cheers, RAH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 In regard to the Nismo kit. Better to go for the jap version. The US Nismo front is just an add on lip to the standard bumper the rear spoiler does not cover the holes left by the uk spoiler The US skirts are supposedly different and some prefer these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't even commenting on the quality as I've never seen the US kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame, it was a nice solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAH Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Guys, Thanks for all the info and ideas:) The US kit definitely looks like a good option. Anybody tried it? I also found the following sites that seem to stock all the kit: http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z/exterior.html http://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=2364 Cheers, RAH.

Guest prescience Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Courtesy can be personally recommended for importing bits There are no fitment issues that I am aware of; Valerio is well up on this and can advise when he pops along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 wrt matching with the Speed-racing rear... I'm not sure it'd work. the Nismo skirts (whether JDM or USDM type) are not that low while the SR kit is one of the lowest out there, including the rear. You might end up with skirts that look higher than your rear, looking a bit weird. The SR skirts actually are lower at the back too, making this more obvious, possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decisions, decisions...... and there I was thinking that now I had the car I'd be satisfied! RAH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
