Weber Sports Gives 2011 Nissan 350Z a Radical Makeover
Japanese tuner Weber Sports has revealed a full body kit for the 2011 Nissan 350Z, transforming the coupe’s appearance with aggressive new panels and carbon fibre details.
Weber Sports has unveiled a comprehensive body kit for the 2011 Nissan 350Z, aiming to give the two-seater coupe a more dramatic presence on the road. The Japanese tuning house introduced the modified 350Z at the Tokyo Auto Salon, showcasing a suite of exterior changes that push the car’s styling well beyond its factory look.
The Weber Sports kit comprises a new front bumper, side sills, a sculpted rear bumper, a rear wing, and a vented bonnet featuring prominent air ducts. Carbon fibre is used extensively across the package, most notably for aerodynamic elements and trim. The result is a 350Z with a much more aggressive stance and a track-inspired appearance, finished in a striking metallic orange for its debut.
Body kit details and design influences
The most noticeable change is the front bumper, which features deep air intakes and a design that has drawn comparisons to the styling seen on Mansory’s Porsche Panamera conversions. While the resemblance is clear, Weber Sports has added its own touches in the form of a centre under duct and additional carbon details. The side sills and rear bumper continue the theme, with sharp lines and integrated vents that move the 350Z away from its original, rounded look.
A large rear wing and a new bonnet with functional air ducts complete the transformation, giving the car a purposeful silhouette. The kit is designed to appeal to owners seeking a more individual and motorsport-inspired style, rather than subtle upgrades. Weber Sports has not released specific aerodynamic performance figures, and the kit’s impact is focused on visual impact rather than track times.
Availability and market position
Weber Sports positions this kit for the 2011 Nissan 350Z as a premium aftermarket upgrade, targeting enthusiasts who want to stand out from standard Z-cars and typical tuning packages. The company has not confirmed UK or European distribution, and pricing details remain undisclosed. Interest from international buyers has been noted, with online forums and comment sections quickly filling with requests for availability outside Japan.
The 350Z has long been a favourite among tuners, but Weber Sports’ approach is more radical than most, echoing the kind of extensive bodywork changes seen from European firms such as Wald and Lumma. For comparison, rival tuners like TC Concepts and Startech have taken similar approaches with high-profile models, but Weber’s kit is among the most extreme offered for the Nissan coupe in recent years.

Reaction and context
The Weber Sports kit has divided opinion, especially over the front bumper’s resemblance to high-end European aftermarket designs. Some praise the boldness and the use of carbon fibre, while others feel the kit’s styling is too derivative. Regardless, the package demonstrates the continued appetite for dramatic customisation in the Japanese sports car scene. For owners of the 2011 350Z seeking a transformation that will turn heads at shows and meets, Weber Sports now offers one of the most comprehensive options on the market.
