Question is what do YOU want. Do you prefer cosmetics or performance?

I like the K2 bumper, looks sweet. Chargespeed rear is nice.

I'd personally go with a body kit, but that's just me. People will notice the body first before the BBK

BBK here.

There are very few G35 body kits I actually like, however the look of big brakes behind wheels looks awesome to me.


Granted that's my opinion, so make your choice based on what you prefer

Inven front, Chargerspeed rear, Seibon TS CF hood, and impul sides.

After that, you turn on your car and it will return the favor.

Both are cosmetic unless you're going to the track.

You should think about the other stuff that's involved if you get the kit or BBK:

Body kit: Consider the cost of the kit as well as paint / install. If you have a white, light blue, or red car paint match is going to be difficult. You should also upgrade your wheels and lower your car if you get a body kit. Lowering your car will probably require at least a rear camber kit.

BBK: Not really needed unless you track your car...even then, its debatable. Does look cool though. You don't really need to change anything else on your car if you get a BBK, but you may have wheel clearance issues depending on the kit you get. You may also want to upgrade your wheels, but its not as "necessary" as when you install a body kit.

My vote: Get the BBK if you absolutely must install a body kit or upgraded brakes. The installation and complementary upgrades tend to snowball if you go with the body kit. The BBK, while pretty useless for street use, looks cool and has almost no other associated costs.
