But then you have to fill in the holes where the center section slips into.

This is a joke question I assume , b/c you just came out with your lip and now someone wants you to make another one basically??

atx370z 09-08-2010 12:32 AM

the tracking number you gave me says the lip is coming from Tawain?... wtf lol

I was under the impression they where "in stock"...

I can't even imagine how long it's going to take to get here... :O

lol Taiwan it is

atx370z 09-08-2010 01:07 AM

omg..... i was hoping i would get it by monday next week so i could get the side peices to a paint shop before i take my "mini-vacation" next weekend.

So much for that master plan...

PS. Sept. 20th is the day after i return from my vacation and i have an appt. to have Berk HFC's, Stillen G3's and Stillen CBE exhaust installed. Wished i would've had the lip to put on also. Would've been a whole new car!!! Well.. it kind of still will be going from bone stock performance wise to new monster.

Don't worry about it. He uses Express Mail to get stuff from Taiwan and it's pretty fast. I ordered the front fang cover on September 4, shipped from Taiwan on September 6 at night and arrived at New York on September 7. Current status is "Inbound into Customs".

So, it shouldn't take long. Hang in there..

:iagree: Same scenario for me.....I purchased the front fangs back in April of this year and within a matter of days I had them. I was actually impressed when I saw where the item shipped from vs. how quick it arrived.

3SeventyZ 09-08-2010 12:49 PM

not sure if i should paint the sides or just leave them like they are..
i kinda like the matte black look and it'll match the te37's

I absolutely DESPISE you so much. After seeing pictures of your car with the black TE37's in your album, it makes me wish I had waited a week longer to get that black Z instead of the white Z I have. :shakes head:

Scribbs06 09-08-2010 04:31 PM

looks awesome, in for pics installed.

wouldn't they look like rubber bumpers or something? :icon17: i would paint it. leave the center section matte black or CF. :)

From the pictures it looks pretty good unpainted. Then again, it is on a black bumper. I think I'm gonna leave mine unpainted to match the factory chin spoiler and plastic trim above the fangs.

atx370z 09-08-2010 09:05 PM

hmm... now you guys are making me wonder if i should paint mine. My 370 is black also.

chuckd05 09-09-2010 12:26 AM

Mine is getting painted to match my PW

My dilemma is what to do with my fangs... I may paint the fangs the same " trim black " thats on my valence OR a shinier black with a clear OR just leave them alone.... I'm not sure yet... But lip will def get painted on my PW Z.

I like the look of the lips I see that are painted with the black in the middle... If I do the fangs I will prob have them go over the upper black portion of the fangs as well to give it a uniform appearance..

Boost_lee 09-09-2010 02:14 AM

Im in the same dilemma. I'll try the batmobile overlay first, since I have it here at home

kenchan 09-09-2010 09:53 AM

NYJon - no pict updates yet? :icon14: :tup:

NewYorkJon34 09-09-2010 10:00 AM

Sould be this week bro, he said the pieces will be painted & finished today.

kenchan 09-09-2010 10:04 AM

How much did having the side peices painted run? A ballpark estimate.

NewYorkJon34 09-09-2010 11:58 AM

Monday I'm having the lip installed :)

kenchan 09-09-2010 01:07 PM

NYJon- you're slipping schedule sounds like you work for EvoR now. :rofl2: ;)

wolf370z 09-09-2010 01:09 PM

If I don't see pics of lip fully on the car I'm going to :icon14:

NewYorkJon34 09-09-2010 02:29 PM

It will be on the car Monday, don't worry. I've just been busy, I had a twm short shifter installed & it is awesome. Much better then the AMS shifter that I had.

kenchan 09-09-2010 02:30 PM

TWM has some nice knobs too. i use one in my G. awesome. :p

NewYorkJon34 09-09-2010 02:41 PM

I have the carbon autoexe knob coming tomorrow. All I can say is it is the best short shifter kit out for the 370Z.

Boost_lee 09-09-2010 04:16 PM

Lip arrived today, but I have to work until 10pm tonight... boo

kenchan 09-09-2010 04:22 PM

NewYorkJon34 09-09-2010 05:10 PM

Its 1051 in miami, Whats goin on here?? Wheres the pics haha?

chuckd05 09-09-2010 10:56 PM

Ha. Mine said it left Taiwan yesterday. Bummer.

Nyjohn tell your body shop they ate slow and to get moving ! Lol

Cmike2780 09-09-2010 11:10 PM

If I get it tomorrow, I'm gonna install it this weekend.

NewYorkJon34 09-09-2010 11:17 PM

It's not really a body shop, but more of 1 guy doing everything. He works on higher end cars like bentleys & a Audi R8. He did my stillen roof wing, so I know the paint will be flawless.

Boost_lee 09-09-2010 11:27 PM

Mine shipped on Monday I believe since he got my payment on sunday night.

I snapped pics of the packaging and the lip pieces. Not sure if I can mock it up tonight but I'll try. I'll post pics in a few

And NYJon - yes I plan on painting mine so far. Painted lip with black vinyl on the fangs

Boost_lee 09-10-2010 12:17 AM

Here are the packaging pics

Pieces well wrapped in foam and bubble wrap

Included 3M tape and self tapping screws

Lip as a whole
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...3/IMG_5675.jpg

The pieces do not snap together or anything, they simply overlap one another. I'm sure you can secure with glue if desired. My impressions so far: Very Impressed! For $189, this lip far exceeded my expectations. Plus, I paid for the lip on Sunday night and it arrived Thursday morning. That's super fast shipping from Taiwan. I'll need to test fitment on the bumper as time permits

:tup:

370Z JT 09-10-2010 12:49 AM

how much was shipping?

Boost_lee 09-10-2010 12:52 AM

$45 from Taiwan

RCZ 09-10-2010 07:41 AM

$45 is reasonable and so is the delivery time.

I think EVO-R did well with this one. Hopefully they put a whole lip kit together soon with sideskirts/front lip / rear lip
