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...

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* smile

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 smile

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.

HERE

Shame...

EDITED to add pics of the cage welded on:
