not really, his opinion is his opinion. I'm not going to not mod my car just cuz jerren or chris dont like the style i like. I can say 1000 things i dont like what chris or jerren has done to their cars, doesnt mean they wont do it. I'm paying $55,000 for my car, not theirs.

Only thing i dont like about this kit is the company, for god forsaken reason, put that gay mesh grill on...ill be tearing that off soon as i get the kit. And btw...i have 2 algey eaters in my fish tank...i like them..lol
Hahaha, I know the tibby your talking about. It is hideous.

think i seen that car in one of the parking lots on the way to james shop. I would never spend that kind of money on a paint job unless the car was 100% show car and never driven.

On a side note..lol. I almost sold my 370z today. I test drove a 05 Dodge Ram SRT10. 503hp in a ******* truck. It was nice, burned the tires in 1st and 2nd gear. The power is weird though. Its almost like turbo lag or VTEK. You slam the gas and it accel's nicely and then all of a sudden you get all the power and the truck just takes off. Although cuz of how much im paying for my car now and what they offerd me...the remaining balance of the Z goes to the truck and is to expensive atm.

And heres the side skirts, wing and what it will look like when im done.




I am sorry to burst your bubble, but that kit you have waiting for you, does not exactly match what you have in the pic below it. The side skirts are different, and the front bumper is different around the mouth. Also, that's the big tall wing in the lower photo, and yours in the pic is the not so high, nicer one. Good luck with the fibreglass knock off as you will regret it after a bit. There are too many downsides to having a fibreglass kit, as well as making one fit. Just throwin that out there.

Thanks for the input Kandem. I believe the sideskirts are the S-Tune Nismo version. The rest of the of the kit is the real nismo replica. I know the front is abit different with the mouth...still close enough. I talked to the guys from the company im getting this from. If it does not fit and requires major modification, i get a full refund back. I'm not expecting this kit to be 100% perfect and last me forever. Like i said before..the full nismo kit from Nissan costs $15,000...that includes body parts, wing, brackets, fender liners...everything. This is a mear $1600...not that big of a deal.

i would say the reason it works like that is so it gets off the line with out tire spin to much

i agree with you on the body kit/underglow. I thought about that hotwheels one but then it grew on me to not get it. I dont like any of the aftermarket body kits. Right now there is like 3 or 4 body kits for the 370z and they all look completely rice...i cant believe they even thought of making them. The only reason im picking this kit, is because its the nismo version. If I had the money when i bought my car to get the nismo version...i might have bought it. But an extra $15,000 for the body kit, suspension, 18 more hp and a few other things wasnt really worth it.

Well heres a huge update...screw the body kit. I'll find out of this is joining the family (99% chance it will)














2005 Dodge Ram SRT10 Yellow Fever Special Edition (#473 of 500)

Price = $29,000
Odom =60,000

Traded the 370z in
Value = $38,000 ($53,000 total oweing so the remaining balance goes on with the truck)
odom = 12,000

Mods on the truck is K&N intake, alpine head unit, aftermarket rims with new tires...they are also giving me stock rims. Front brakes are being replace cuz i didnt like the noise it made. I'm happy with my car progress...lol

So agreeing with Dan on this one. You are insane if you're gonna get that truck. I thought you were crazy for buying the Z but now you've just outdone yourself. Weren't you bitchin about Dezzie just the other day, about his speeding. Well you're seriously not gonna tell me you won't break the speed limits with a 500hp gas guzzler like that. That's my opinion

In for the lol

It is a nice truck but the stock rims look sick. I would get the stockers painted and put the back on. Looks like there is something wrong with the bumper on the drivers side.

Good luck with whatever you decide. I'm at the point that I want to get rid of mine. Only because I can find out what's wrong with it.

Whats wrong with the bumper...i never seen anything wrong. Besides the 3 small holes from a front licence plate. Well they said the stock rims are tarnished, thats why the put the aftermarket rims. So im using the black rims for the summer and stock rims for winter. Did you try doing a temp swap with someone for parts to see if it is the bpv?

I'm less likely to speed in the truck then i am in the 370z...trust me on that one. I love the370z, i would hate to give it up. But i should have thought clearer when i bought it. Its not practical for edmonton. Roads suck here, the 370z is to small and cant carry my army kit, cant haul my bike to the track and ill be paying $15,000 less for the truck and $1400 a year less for insurence.
