Not that big of a dilemma. I notice everyone on this forum has a different taste for 350z. I decided to settle for this Z that needs a little help.

I bought this car for 5.5k no mechanical defects just missing bumpers and lights. So I need opinions on a body kit and whether or not these wheels will make me Nico worthy. Cheers and thanks for taking a look!

I needed advice on whether that kit is right for me or not and those wheels.

Uh nice price on the 350, how many miles?

I'd go with the bronz wheels myself, nice kit too. Not too over the top.

Welcome to the forum.

87k Miles.

It was a steal for sure. my main concern is the kit so I'm glad to hear nothing negative yet. I'm also really trying to find wheels that i can stagger that are black with a pinstripe but it's really hard to find "EXACTLY" the wheel you have drawn out in your head -.-

Welp this was slightly helpful I'll probably make another post in say maybe 2 weeks after I pass CHP inspection and do Brake & Light etc.

Then next mod. Turbocharger = P

^ That pic above is of the LE37 which isn't made anymore. They still make the TE37. The TE37 is a 6 spoke wheel not a 5 spoke. Your looking at about $3000 just for the wheels alone.

Yea I just called my supplier and he informed me that it was discontinued. I'll keep searching there are SSR Professors that look decent.

The LE37 and the TE37 are the same wheel only the LE37 has a diamond cut lip while the TE37 has a painted lip. So they are still available as the TE37.

No worries, I'm sure he's a cool guy. Just got off on the wrong foot with a little miscommunication.

te37 is a timeless classic. Definitely one of my favorite wheels next to the Nismo LMGT4.

Ahhh.. I have not logged into the NICO Forums since I parted with my 240SX in 2005

Grats on the Z purchase to the OP, make sure you don't do something stupid.... like drive it 85mph up a hill, loose control, and roll your 2008 TL 4 times.

The Z has a few more ponies under the hood and its a rwd... I don't like what I'm seeing. Inexperienced driver+ rwd sports car = Grow up or die.

I agree, to a certain extent. What someone does with their life is their choice...I'm more concerned about them killing someone else on the street.
