Give John @ International Autobody (located in San Bruno) a call- let him know Boris sent you, and he will take excellent care of you.

Their # is 650-871-5453, and they do some unbelievable work. A couple people from this forum have gone there from my reccomendation and have left very pleased.

It's got something to do with the fact that the Wald kit is built for the JDM/Japanese Skyline Sedan/g35's.

The US G35/Skyline has a longer rear bumper due to US DOT specifications. So modifications need to be made for the kit to fit the longer bumper.

I have a '04 G35x sedan. Saw the posts on Intl Autobody and they were one of the quotes i got.

I was also told the rear skirt is made for Japanese bumper and needs to be lengthen. Also, the japanese license bracket is longer so the middle needs to be cut out and fitted too.

Trance-make sure wherever you order your kit its shipped insured. Since it comes direct from Japan theres no return policy I didnt check it thoroughly when I got the kit and the it was damaged.

+1 on that one. They did my Nismo body kit, including some very creative painting and body molding. i recommend them highly. so, make it "Boris and Igor".

Yeah...I also heard the same thing from the Wald distributor. But $1K just the rear sounds a bit too much.

Anyway, good luck with the install and put up some pics soon after it's done. I'd love to see it.
