1) Does anyone stock the F50 President conversion parts in the USA or else where as a kit?

2) Does the F50 President exist in Taiwan?

3) Can the JDM body parts for the F50 be ordered through a US dealer?

Theres no such "kit" for the F50 president conversion... You'd have to buy all the parts from japan.

A nissan/infiniti dealer should be able to get the parts for you, but they will need an actual part number, and they may not be able to look that up for you. If you can get the numbers, they should be able to get them.

Sometimes one will pop up on ebay. I seen one recently and I almost picked it up, but I lost my job and it sold two days later. You really have to get lucky to find the front, rear complete with the mirrors online. Good luck!

I've never seen an F50 (02-09) president conversion kit pop up for sale and if it did it would be very expensive. Not sure if you meant to talk about the older model Q45 G50. I have seen those front or rear conversions pop up on ebay and forums. Parts need are front and rear bumpers, trunk, grille, hood, and possibly fenders. I know the president hood is a lot heavier then the usdm q45 hood. I think us is aluminum and jdm president is steel, so you would also need the hood struts and latches it is an expensive swap and not to common. It is very expensive and shipping is a huge additional cost to it since it all comes from the land of the rising sun.

I used to do auto body and customizing as a hobby.. Thing is if Taiwan makes the parts they would be cheaper for sure as generic/after market body panels.

I'm surprised the #'s aren't up here by now, thought this was "THE" Infini/Nissan forum. In time I guess, when there is a new President body style the kits should start to pop up as always. The fun part is getting things before everyone else.

I was looking at the G50 earlier, but I'd like to build a F50 as a project later on..

The president isn't a body kit that can just be reproduced. If you want F50 parts then you need connections. Pretty sure all you need is a hood (with struts) and a trunk to have your Q45 look like a President. In the VIP section there is a guy named widebodyQ that has President parts on his F50 but I doubt he is willing to give you his parts source.

I got some family from Japan, also know some soldiers over seas. I've done some paper work for container shipping also. Figure I'm not going to bother them though, since I decided to get a 300c first as a daily driver.

That's cool, maybe I'll find a pic of it later on or ask widebodyQ about the parts. The car definitely looks way better than the crap they gave us here as with all JDM stuff..

The 300c is a better daily driver, parts are easy to find and the car is more common..

Some day.

That picture of the President sure looks like a Japanese knockoff of a Lincoln continental!!!

Nah, I think it looks like a japanese maybach.



Something that is based on the Lincoln platform I wish I could get is this Chinese creation..
