Oh sorry, I didn't know that the Nismo 370z is called the R-tune... What does R-tune stand for again? I hope its not race-tune.

And if you lose the fangs it doesnt look like everything else. It looks like a 370z without fangs...aka better.

Before this turns into a bitching contest, I will say this is just my opinion, you may have a different one...lets keep it civil.

There is no r-tune 370z body kit. r-tune is how nissan labels their parts to let consumers know it is not street legal.

Never heard of the Nismo car called the R-Tune...its just the Nismo 370...and the lip kit is the 370z S-Tune

Anyway - I think a mix between the Amuse and that subtle looking white one all the way up top would be a slick look

No fangs with a front splitter and canards.

I am very interested in a front fascia that can provide sufficient airflow to any sort of cooler located in front of the radiator.

^red one looks good

Spot on! I've always been a Z fan, but to me, the 350z was just lacking something..it didn't have that tuff look...looked more timid. The 370 design with the fangs added what the Z sorely needed which was some in kick your @ss looks.

As far as the nismo design....it's sooo 350z to me! Nismo is really a step backwards in design as far as looks go. Too non-aggressive looking. I'll take the stock fangs any day over the nismo girly look. :stirthepot:

Thank you very much for all of your input! I greatly appreciate it and it will help us design the best body kit possible.

It sounds to me like you guys want something aggressive still. Even if it did away with the fangs but still looked aggressive then it would be a winner?

Our number one focus is going to be on function with this fascia. We want to make sure that we pull additional air for better cooling!

That's what I am talking about! I can't wait to see what you guys have to offer.

Awesome, yes, no fangs + aggressive + functional (flow and df) = win. Optional canaards would be nice too.

The other thing to discuss is length. I think it should be a little longer and lower than the stock bumper. To me, the stock one seems to end too abruptly and too high near the hood line. I think that will help lessen drag by reducing front surface area...which means easier high speed cruising, better gas mileage and downforce. Discuss.

bullitt5897 11-03-2009 04:51 PM

I agree ^^^ If we were to lower the front and bring the nose further forward we can lessen the drag issue. Now by adding a front diffuser we can address the down force issue. Also if we were to open smaller side intakes and possibly side exhaust vents we could add to the cooling factor. but this is all speculation of course. Heat extraction hood would work very well with a concentrated center airflow through the nose :D

I say ditch the fangs. Those who want them can keep the stock facia and do a lip spolier.

Always liked the Nismo Version 2 on the 350, looks similar to what Bster posted with one center airdam. I beleive it was styled after the Super GT Z and had ducting to breaks, oil cooler ect.

Zele makes a pretty nice kit too:

By the way I think those dual titanium tips look hot!

As far as design... my suggestion would be to do a single big opening. Like the nismo. Make it a little bit longer and lower nose than the stock setup. Like the Nismo. Built in the bottom splitter. I think the Nismo is a pretty good design....if you do a variation of it with room for canards.. I would buy it.

what he said!

i like "Do you like the fangs but you would be willing to sacrifice them for better cooling (brakes, engine oil, radiator, possible intercooler?)"
