Which body kit?

The next thing to go on my car will be a different body kit. The Nismo replica I have now is s**ty and the paint job is terrible. I am strongly leaning towards a C-West N1 kit and am debating on getting carbon fiber or just get a regular one and paint it to match the car. I am looking for a functional body kit as my car sees mostly track time. I have the CF hood and hatch already, but don't know if the body kit would be too much CF. The reality is, the prices would be the same after a good paint job so either way is ok with me. These are the best pics I have of the car with the CF hatch on....

the side skirts are cool but i really dont like the rear valance.. they look like add ons and they dont really blend in with the body... and the front just needs a lip....

I have the lip, it just isn't on in the pics. The body kit thats on the car is coming off no matter what. The side skirts are cracked, the paint doens't match, etc.

Thats a transponder. It communicates with a loop in the track on the front straight to give you your lap times.

Not sure how "functional" this kit is, but I love how the Vertex kit looks on the 350Z. It looks really streamlined (lower co-eff. of drag maybe?)...

Check it out http://www.vertexaerokits.com/350zfull.html

yeah Mike, might as well get a big wing on the back - if there is one that's functional and matches the carbon fiber. your car may actually be able to pull it off. get the C-west below...

The main reason I want the C-West is that it is track tested in Japan for functionality. I will get a huge wing like that, but I want to custom fabricate it so it mounts to the floor of the spare tire well and comes through the hatch. That way I can keep it off becuase it looks stupid and then only put it on for track days where there are high speeds involved.
