Blimey! That's what I call a body kit!!

[smash]

Surfing the stateside sites and came across this.

It's a body conversion for the Infiniti G35 - a sort of 4 seater 350z sold in the states.

They claim no cutting or mechanical work.

Bit of a Lambo pastiche but it's not a replica of anything and I have to say I think it looks stunning! That's how to do it...









Walk round video of the car here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFR2IDDACEI

Full kit is equivalent £7k but what a stunning car! http://www.vaydor.com/



Now I wonder if it could be adapted to fit the G35 sibling, a 350Z? *ahem*

[GTRene]

it does look like a exotic expensive super-car.

[Furyblade_Lee]

I do like that. And I live on the doorstep of Abbey Motorsport, they specialize in giving 350Z's 500+ horsepower. Cool .

[Du1point8]

front reminds me a of a beefed up K2 Attack...

Back of a lambo...

I like it.

Accordong to carfolio the 2002 g35 and the 350z have different wheel bases (10cm different). Giod effirt though - gtr front end, lambo rear.

There are a few G35s in the country - they pop up on ebay and autotrader every couple of months...

[smash]

Didn't know that - just checked and they do seem to command a premium.

Bodykit would be about £10k landed in UK so, what do you reckon, £25-30k to have one of these on the road then?

Quite steep but uber exclusive and will have them guessing now that the tax disc is a thing of the past...

Can't stop looking at it

Stunning design although you would expect the engne to be mid mounted not in the front,

Just found a build thread on one of these and it seems there is actually a fair bit of cutting involved so it would have to go through IVA.

The whole body comes off as does the entire roof and they weld in a sub-structure/roll cage to replace the top half integrity. Can't say the way it's welded/weld points fills me with confidence.

Shame...

EDITED to add pics of the cage welded on:

I see what you mean,they've reduced the torsional rigidity by probably 80% and removed most of the rear crash structure. That's a shame as it does look stunning if not to my taste.

I can't really see it passing IVA.

[JontyR]

That isn't a roll cage! That is a collection of metal welded into a car that would probably kill you in a crash!

There is no real triangulation in there, and the welding to the strut tops you showed is laughable! That would snap off at the first hint of a crash!

Shame as the body does look stunning!

[one eyed mick]

Typical boulivard cruiser ,looks quite good [if you like that sort of thing ]but is realy a pile of crap

[200Plus Club]

A fair bit of cutting involved is an understatement lol! Looked awesome outside. Horrendous in.

[andygtt]

buy the body, then make your own chassis under it

[Huff]

I'm still waiting to see the 9" wheel spacers that must be required :/

The photos above make it look like something out of Leepu's Chop Shop, but without the engineering finesse.

[Furyblade_Lee]

That is quite worrying.

Whats the deal with the tyre in the first picture? Looks like some bad PS work.......
