Default SC300/400 appearance information needed

I'd stumble upon a picture on the net regarding a SC300/400. Not sure which one it is but I'm loving this overall appearances of the car. Color also!

I'm not a fan of body kits, not sure if this is or not a body kit. I owned a 300ZX Twin Turbo and always kept it stock as far as look minus Rims and Exhaust.

But, I would liked to know what this body kit on this SC300/400 is. Where can I get one and so forth.



Greatly appreciated.

Since you're in California, you could probably go check out the kit in person at Shine Auto Project. It's a really nice body kit.

They're located in Rancho Cucamonga. It'll save you money on shipping to pick it up in person.

What's the difference between the $2800 dollar kit from Auto Couture and the kit from E-Bay? Price on ebay is roughly $700 dollars.

Rancho Cucamonga is way too far for me to go check out a body kit. Even if I was going to make the purchase. 500+ odd miles just doesn't seem worth it.

one is the real thing, and one is a replica, its like buying store brand frosted flakes vs kelloggs frosted flakes, you pay more for the tiger on your box

I did some research and there are several parts needed along with the full body kit to make it all work out.

Going to give http://l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1590 a call Monday and see what really is needed, price wise and delivery time. (Hoping I don't have to way 2-3 months like I did for my rims.)

Thanks for the help.

First time seeing this one, that SC is NICE. I like how they painted the inside inserts black on that front bumper.

Your also paying for Perfect fitment strait out of the box, as well as support company's that do the R&D to develop products for us. Instead of Paying a company that profits from copying others successes

I've bought a few things from L-tunedparts and they ship relatively fast.

The $2,800 kit is the original body kit. The one that is $700 on ebay is most likely the AIT body kit. From what I've heard, it's the Auto Couture front with the Vertex knock off sides and rear. I would advise staying away from the $700 kit.

The Shine Auto kit is your best bet. It's identical to the Auto Couture kit and it's only $1,200. The fitment is very good as well.
