Custom body kits

If I drew up a body kit and wanted it created, is there a company that you guys might know that would be able to make it?

Even if you could find someone to do it, you would be amazed at how much a one-off of something would cost.

Maybe you should work on getting a Z first before even thinking about something like this.

This. So much this.

Look, i'm sure you're young and dreamin about ur car and thats all exciting, but really.

In another thread you were trying to "save money" by importing a "cheap" Z from Japan, clueless about the costs after the car.

Now you're looking at fabbing up a custom kit for a car you don't have yet?

Basically for custom work, if you need to ask if its possible and how much its gonna cost, you can assume its out of your league.

The people that get custom stuff are the people they can do it themselves, are sponsored/have relationship with bigger companies, or are too rich to need to ask the question to begin with, they go straight to the shop and drop off bags of cash.

Sorry.

You might be able to afford a custom body kit if you save up the price of a new Z (~$30K). Of course, you're looking at a likely beat-to-$hit, used Z for somewhere around $10K and then spending the remaining $20K to have a poorly made kit built

By the time you get through college, get established in a decent job, save enough money to buy a good sports car, and then save enough to even think about having a one-off kit fabricated, who and how much will have changed.

But, if you just have to know, a quick web search should give you the who. I'm betting pricing will be listed as "contact us" - AKA, "if ya gotta ask ...".

FWIW, the sooner you realize that you have to be patient and work for the better things in Life, the better off you will be. And happier, too.

Ferrari built one off models for Saudi royalties, so short answer is "yes", I'm sure someone can make a one off body kit for you.

Throw $100k USD at Amuse, they'll work with you to make a one off kit. You don't need referral. You just need cash.
