well i dont know too much about bodykits because i try not to focus to much on cosmetics. im not trying to be a ricer, but i do want my car to look nice as well as perform nice, if you have any advice you can give me it would be greatly appreciated. as for aerodynamics... i have no clue.... how do you tell what is good and whats not as far as airflow?

Lots of tasteful aftermarket options. Greddy, Wings West, Border, Ab Flug, a couple of the stillen pieces, the JDM front isn't terrible, etc.

Yeah, I think so atleast.

Back when it first got really popular over here in the states (like 2001-2002) a couple local guys got it for their Z32's. Paid a lot of money for a front end that was pretty stockish and out on the road didn't really improve the looks of the car. Plus, when Sport Compact Car magazine did the build of Mike Kojima's Z32 (the really bad *** white one) they found the JDM (or J-spec whatever people are calling it now) to create unwanted turbulence and problems with the dual intake system.

I dunno, some people love, others don't. Its all opinion and taste. That's the beautiful thing about the hobby and the reason that there are so many different body kits

Wings West or Border Racing FTW!

Although If it was my Z, I'd be making it faster before putting any type of kit on it.
