The stock infiniti body parts have been designed and sculpted into one of the slickest (low cD) shapes around. Do you really think that the aftermarket body panels have performed the same type of R & D, wind tunnel testing, etc?
Even though, you may be giving your car a "cooler" look, it probably doesn't manipulate the air as well.

there is absolutely zero reason to get all scientific about this!!! unless your kit is square....and i mean spongebob square kit, then you have nothing to worry about! dont listen to anyone but yourself! the R&D dollars...blah blah blah...the wind tunnel blah blah blah....someone is going to bring up unsprung wheel weight and blah blah blah....wind resistance blah blah ...the lower stance will cause the....blah blah blah!!!
who cares! thinking like that will get you no hoes!! you bought it because it was pimped right, not to go faster! you bought it because the stock look was just not enough right? not to test the space time continue-um (i normally cant spell, but im not going to try that one!) so screw all the NERDY explainations and go with the one you know...its pimped and it makes hoes faster because they will run after your whip to say whats up to you!
besides, after I put my kit on and my car.... without the key in it, an anchor on the ground, and on jack stands, with no wheels, it still goes mach 7!!.....umm in my 6th minute of REM sleep!

but its all mental. maybe you said it already, but what kit do you have again, im too lazy to look. doesnt matter, its pimped im sure!

no way!! really? faster than 17? i mean 17 is over 100 miles of ***** out three lane running! aside for that big uphill climb in payson, but after that its off the hook. aside from the gay AZ cops hiding inbetween those rock gaps. but whenever you see 1000 year olds in old caddilacs getting on it, you know its time to move. i love the three lanes myself, but if your mt lemon is better than that i cant argue, i have never been there. i dig 17 because its all acceleration and no brakes, on top of good fast 120mph+ constant apex driving. i love it. i tried to ride my ducati across country just to ride down tht track, but my bike blew up! i guess 140 mph for hours straight isnt good for the engine! lesson learned! but it was mad fun, id do it again in a heart beat!

Did anyone else notice this after they got their bodykit?
dont think its the weight of the bodykit parts as they were about the same weight as the stock parts. maybe the increase in weight came when the bodyshop mounted it and all. but dont think a few extra bolts would be the issue. maybe its the aerodynamics of the bodykit.

have you taken all the box off the kit? i mean with it flapping in the wind and all it might have a negative effect on speed and performance. remove all the bubble wrap? the tape? put the side skirts on the sides and not the roof? put the key in the ignition? take it out of neutral? are you running ethanol in your premium gas only car? going way uphill on ice in a downhill windstorm while tied to a tree? all this i think you might wanna consider.
