Default Body Kit Idea - Kit makers pay attention...

Please Please Please make something subtle or make something that retains stock height similar to what Zele has done...

But anyway - if anyone is on the verge of making a kit, I have always love the streamline cf accent kits that have been available for my beloved scoobies!

Make something like this!






Closest thing I have seen was those side skirts that vip posted but I'd like something very smooth and minimalistic to just add a very slight accent...

Yeah, there are times my stock front spoiler rubs. I have eibachs on my Z. At least with a small one it won't be too bad.

The bad thing is tha most or the manufactures don't buy the car or even drive the car that they are making a kit for. they just draw it and if it looks good, hey make it.

I agree. It'd be nice to have a number of very subtle options like that. I hate the kits that just add visual bulk, which seems like what a lot of import kits tend to do.

I do like the style of the front lip. I would personally like it painted but that subtle style is perfect.

I think if someone could come out a front bumper that has an air dam like the Nismo 350Z or the 370Z but a better looking nose would be great. I really love the front bottom lip of the Nismo.

The Nismo design looks like an Amuse design to me for some reason.

I agree, if we had a carbon fiber lip like the red Nismo, that would be great!
