Default New Body kit

I don't have a scanner right now but my parents do and I might just go over to show you guys some pics.

I was bored at Wal-Mart last night and went looking through an issue of SCC, the one with the widebody 350Z (red and silver) on the cover. Anyway, as I'm standing there flipping through I was looking over one of the advertisements about bodykits. Sure enough I see this silver tiburon with a white front bumper that closely resembles the Zefiro kit but yet is a little different. It shows a little bit of the rear but not much. It also stated that it was a Sentra Spec-V?!?! WTF, eh??????

So basically i was wondering if anyone else noticed this and whether or not this is true. Someone prolly just copied a Zefiro and went to town but whatever. I also remember someone commenting that they hated all the rear bumpers available to us right now.

What issue was the SCC, I'm headin over to walmart tonight. They messed up my pictures, anyhow I'll look over the mag. I don't trust the body kits they show, you know the ones where they fit everything on one page, and each body kit is 2cmx2cm squares on the page.

Yeah, it was one of those full page ads, they labelled our car as a Sentra, it was the hood and the headlights that caught my eye.

I dunno what issue but it's got the Nismo Widebody 350Z on the cover. Red with silver paint. Cool looking car.

Exactly, that's why I was wondering if anyone else saw it and it wasn't me thinking shish up.

Okay, my mistake, It's www.grounddynamics.com and they did put down the correct car make.

It's also in Import Racer, not SCC, I musta been drunk. 02.gif







Check out the 00-02 (funny, looks like they found the '02 as well)







I see like three rip offs of other kits in the hyundai section alone. Although I like the first gen front end.
