The kit was quite expensive since i had to have it shipped from japan. but if you find one thats already in the states it should be cheaper.

Check it out a japanparts.com They might have changed their prices. They have the JPY to US conversion built into the site so just add up the parts you want and get an est. for everything.

Hi

Of course RE-Products are cheapest from us.

yup you got it. Chaser Aero, kinda a shady business. They were trying to tell me they own the originial molds from RE Amemiya. I called BS on that in my head right away.

I have noting but good things to say about Chaser, they treated me well when I bought my hood and kit from them 3 plus years ago. Fitment is good, just my 2 cents.

nice, good to hear. I have a friend who got some 350z parts from them. I still get a shady feeling from them tho. Did you do local pickup from them?? If so did they charge you $50 pickup fee?? My friend with the 350z said they didnt charge him for pickup.

Had to raise car, run as much camber as possible with factory adjust, trim some fiberglass and bang on wheel well with a big hammer.

Well as for the side skirts, front and rear fenders those are the AD-GT widebody kit. It did not come with the vent holes cut out of the back of the front fender, that was done at the bodyshop.


The front bumper comes in two different forms, mine which is the old/originial style and the new one which is exactly the same but has the 99spec front signals instead of the little orange ones i have.

The carbonfiber front lip undersweep is an additional piece. RE amemiya offers i think two or three types of canards to go with, mine are the pro canards.

Nice thread. I have to say pictures of this kit in white are just drop dead gorgeous. Think it has something to do with the high contrast, but...wow

i dont know what kinda wheels tho are, thats not my car. As for the seats yes they are Status Ring and yes they do touch the door trim. Had to do some trimming on drivers side seat to clear the center console area but you cant tell by looking at it.
