Hi guys i just stumbled on some kits that are in the US for like $600 GTR looking kit. They are made out of some material that i have never herd of link is below if anyone knows much about em please let me know as im considering purchaing one.

some of the ebay stuff have very bad fitment, so to get it professionally re-worked for a proper fit is prolly going to cost a lot more.

not really into the GTR looking kits, imho best get a kit made specifically for the V35...the nismo, impul, kuruma z or kenstyle all look good.

Just make sure you go to a reputable place that have experience in fitting and painting body kits. You might be able to go to local Nissan dealer to fit a OEM geninum replacement parts, but not aftermarket.

Good luck.

I had some pics sent to me from prestiege and the paint jobs where shocking the silver GTR kit did not match the color of the car in the sun at all, this is my worst nightmare to have that happen :S im not sure if i should kit it at all now

Adam, the main reason of mis-match paint when installing body kits is because of different materials used.

The material of the body of the car (i.e Plastic, Aluminium, etc.) attracts the paint particles at different rates compare to material used for aftermarket body kits (i.e. Fibreglass, Carbon fibre, etc.). Therefore, I believe no two different material parts will have a 100% matching paint. The best you can get it about 85%-90%.

But like I said before, if you go to a reputable place that have experience in fitting and painting body kits, you should be fine. Just make sure you give the right paint code and enough information (2 layers/3 layers pearl, etc.).

Worse being worse, you can make assurance with the place beforehand that, if the paint comes out totally crap, they will have to fix it up. And they will as big/famous places are scared to loss good rep. :)

Good luck with the process.
