Default Could somebody give me some opinions/advice?

I own a 2009 Brilliant silver 370z. With income tax I want to add a body kit to my car. I am torn between a Full Nismo kit, and a full stillen kit. I've been trying for the last two weeks and I cannot make up my mind. I love them both. What would you choose? Also, does anyone have any pictures either kits in brilliant silver? I've tried looking for the stillen kit in silver and couldn't find any Thanks!

I was actually thinking about that but I didn't know if it would flow well.

Go with Hfc, Cbe, Cai. Low on some rims. The car was designed cosmetically fine.

I'm partial to the fujimura front end if you're considering the stillen. Similar design but the fujimura just has that extra level of finesse.

Stillen FTW!

1. Cheaper than most
2. Functional
3. Quick to replace if tore. Stillen can make these in a day.

Check out my journal for pics of Stillen front, Amuse rear.

Yeah the stillen is a lot cheaper than the Nismo kit. I'm leaning a little more towards the stillen, but I really love the Sleekness of the Nismo. And the Nismo rear + wing is beautiful! By the way I tried looking in your album I couldn't find any 370z pics. Only a 350z?

I love the Amuse kit. But it's like $3500 isn't it? Does Amuse have a website I could order the kit from if i wanted?

Thanks! Your car looks amazing. About how much did it cost to paint the stillen bumper if you dont mind me asking.

A Nismo conversion kit is going to cost around $4-$5k...unless you mean an s-tune kit. I'd personally go with a nice lip kit...maybe side skirts and call it a day. Spend the rest on performance mods.

Well I called my nissan dealership, and the full Stillen kit would cost $1900 to order and install. I would just have to get it painted. Full nismo kit would be around $2800 + install and already the nismo kit already comes painted. Does the stillen kit lower the car a lot?
