Most areo dynamic body kit

If your looking for downforce as a functional aero kit the Nismo (not s-tune) is the best option. Here is how I plan my setup: Nismo front bumper --Center duct

If your looking for downforce as a functional aero kit the Nismo (not s-tune) is the best option.

Here is how I plan my setup:
Nismo front bumper
--Center duct for Intake (installed)
--Brake Ducts (installed)
--Front Splitter (Still in development)
--Dive Planes "canards" (still in development)

Nismo sideskirts: They reduce lift as they protude and eliminate some air from flowing under the car.
--Side blades (In development)

Rear bumper:
--Cut and modified for custom exhaust and diffuser.

Rear Diffuser: I have a custom Difflow GTR diffuser modified to fit the nismo.

Rear Wing: The Nismo rear wing does a good job however I would put my faith in the APR GTC 500 with a gurney flap. This will be taller and get into more clean air allowing for more efficient down force... and its adjustable...

Lastly,

Under body panels: I am working on developing a nice set that will work with side skirts and be efficient. Pairing this with my rear diffuser will do alot to reduce lift and increase downforce...

That's exactly what I'm after - except I like the look of 2015 nismo rear - did you build the rear stuff I will absolutely buy a 2015 rear bumper with that diffuser - and I agree 100% for under body stuff only thing I've found so far is a Zspeed front only aluminum thing - are you going to be selling under body flats when you make them.

D3 Performance in houston, tx built my rear diffuser mounts and customized the Difflow GTR diffuser seen below:

A lot of custom work went into the diffuser...

I will say this: Most aftermarket companies build these for style... including my Zele kit. Their is a reason all of the race teams run the Nismo bumpers... because it has the lowest Drag coefficient while still maintaining positive downforce.

Most if not all aftermarket bumpers are untested...

Please see below for race proven bumpers:

Dude Thats funny I totally googled the **** out of the 370z race car and noticed the exact same thing...I started to think there's was some rule requiring a certain amount of stock look to the car or something...but that surely settles that...nismo front...varis hood and front fenders (those heat vents near the side mirrors look very effective). Nismo for the sides w varis flat carbon under side bits .and a custom 2015 nismo rear with the diffuser and then I'm gunna need a custom bottom plate because I guess to cover the under side of the car I can only find the front piece wich is lame or is that all that's really needed?

Yes, each series has rules that dictate what can be changed and what must remain "stock", hence 370Z Nismo, Z06, 911 GT3, etc. These cars are designed to run in these series as is (with minimal changes for safety, i.e. roll cage, abs, etc) because they can only run per the rules as the factory released them for sale to the public. Rules allow additional mods depending on the series, IMSA classes ST (Street Tuner), GS (Grand Sport), World Challenge Series GT, GTA, GTS.

You might want to check out DJTODD's build thread, just like bullitt5897 he has done a lot of research and development on using the Nismo body kit as his build platform.
