The most popular and most commonly-found 300ZX variant is the Z32, sold between 1989 and 2000 in Japan. This model implements a really timeless design language.

We feel it’s somewhat underrated and underappreciated by car enthusiasts, but this does not necessarily have to mean that it is a bad thing. Quite the opposite. Mainly because you can find these for a bargain price. Especially ones that have been somewhat neglected.

With this in mind, the 300ZX makes a fantastic project car. Also, there were almost 100,000 of these sold in the United States, and the rarity factor does not come into play since you can find these cars everywhere.

Not to mention that the aftermarket is also really large for aftermarket body kits. Both here in the US, as well as in Japan. So, finding a kit with proper fitment is not a problem. These kits are often made out of fiberglass, so even if the fitment is a problem.

Even if they don’t fit, you can adjust them to fit. But before we dive into the 300ZX body kits, let’s learn more about the pros and cons of these body kits.

Regarding the fitment, we can say that these are not like your standard OEM parts, they can have dings and dents, cracks, indentations, and broken tabs. Also, in some cases, not fit at all and does not have an easy installation.

So, you will have to do a lot of prep work and fix these parts to make them fit well.

So, we can say that many of the manufacturers do not have the highest quality molds and they shouldn’t even build automotive body parts.

This is why you must go for a body kit that was proven already and has really good feedback and avoid going for some unique widebody kit designs that sometimes cannot fit.

You don’t want to throw your money down the drain. This is why choose superior quality with superior durability over something unique but poor quality.

These pieces include the Bomber front bumper cover, Vader Rear Lip under spoiler, Vader Rear Lip Under Spoiler Air Dam, and the Vader Side Skirts. So, in total 4 pieces. The deep skirts undoubtedly make this stand out from the rest.

The body kit is handmade out of fiberglass. The front bumper has an aluminum mesh grille to complete the look. And as the description says, it is designed with aerodynamics in mind.

3. 300ZX KBD Z32 Wide Body Kit

Now let’s move on to the next on our list of 300ZX wide body kits. And this is something special, especially when we are talking about KBD Body Kits Polyurethane Parts.

KBD is one of the companies that are most highly regarded when it comes to high-quality fit and finish. But their body kits also come at a steep price of $3,500. So, you better be prepared to pay for these body kits.

4. 300ZX CZP / Zero Wide Body Kit

Let’s now cover a true JDM product. This is the CZP / Zero 300ZX Wide Body Kit. And honestly, one of the coolest on our list. Especially for the guys who want something light and don’t want to install crazy spoilers on their cars.

I like this kit, and it’s not one of your typical widebody kits. In our opinion, this rocket bunny kit probably looks the best for this car. Mainly because it is sleek, and the car does not look like it came from a Fast & Furious movie from the early 2000s.

This means that even though the 300ZX is old, this body kit will make it look contemporary.

Nevertheless, the Zero Wide Body Kit does not include bumpers. With this kit, you only get front and wide rear fenders produced from fiber-reinforced plastic and gas door extensions.

And these kits are meant to be tough. Their service life is long, so you cannot expect to look for a replacement any time soon. But this kit also cost a good penny – around $3,500. But if you can find it at a discount, it will only cost you $1,999, which is a steal of a deal.

Overall, the build quality, fit, and finish are excellent, with spot-on transitions. It will easily blend on the stock body, but this experience also comes at a price.

This kit will cost you about $2,999. So, be prepared to pay the premium if you want the best.

Their most notable product is probably the body kit for the RX-7 that was used on the Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift. This body kit is so extensive that it revamps the whole look of the RX-7. But is this the case with the 300ZX wide-body kit?

The short answer is yes. The 300ZX is no exception, and similar to their other kits, the one for the 300ZX is pretty good. Even though, compared to the rocket bunny styling, we would say that the Veilside is a bit dated.

But overall, it is probably the most complete kit out there, with front and rear bumpers, front fenders, rear fenders, and side skirts.

Also, when installing this kit, especially regarding the rear arch. Here comes the skill of the installer into play. Only a highly skilled person can guarantee you an easy installation.

And the price is really hefty; the kit costs about 900,000 yen. In US dollars, this would be about $6,900.

For 87,000 yen, you can get an extra rear spoiler with an LED stop lamp, and if you add another 120,000 yen, you can also get an FRP hood. FRP refers to fiber-reinforced plastic. Also, this kit can only be ordered from Japan.

Other kits that are somewhat comparable are the TwinZ and the KBD kits. Both of these cost around $3,000 to $3,500. Considering the value you get, we think they are worth it.
