Car styling company Impul has redesigned the Nissan 370Z body kit and it looks extremely aggressive. The new aerodynamic body kit is a little over the top and exaggerated in my opinion, especially in the rear. It features large air ducts in the front and rear that basically add zero performance improvements and are strictly for looks. Well…I guess the front bumper and lip combo doesn’t look too bad, there’s just too many Nissan 370Z out there now. The package is named the 934S v2.0 and is available now from Impul or their dealers around the country.
