Abflug Aero kit, Vanguard
 
Abflug just recently released a new aero kit for the Z34! Like most of their other kits, they've chosen to go pretty crazy with the styling. I like the fog light idea especially. I'll let you guys be the judge whether they succeeded in their design or if it falls short.

Let me hear your feedback!

whats the price mike?

phelan 06-22-2010 05:23 PM

back line is...interesting. it starts on the side like the amuse kit, then decides "...naaaaah" and just goes straight across the back :rofl2:

humongous wing! is that part of the kit???

i gotta admit...the front makes the Z look like a really weird italian supercar or something. except for the fog lights, which look like they came from star trek.

one thing to note, though, is that the front and rear look like two TOTALLY DIFFERENT cars. the rear is a complete monster (in a decent way), but the front, like i mentioned, is like a sleek italian car. not sure which way they wanted to go with it.

i could go for the front and maybe slap it with the amuse kit in the back, and work something out for a sideskirt? lol

StealthZ 06-22-2010 05:31 PM

I like it a lot. I dnt care for fog lights but the rear is full of win to me I really like this new and radical design. The rear looks Like it integrates functional aerodynamics and not just nice looks. Any prices on these pieces yet?

bullitt5897 06-22-2010 05:35 PM

The rear wing looks nice! it looks to be a 1600mm wing... my question is: Is the wing adjustable?

Marco_xyz 06-22-2010 05:37 PM

hmmm interesting looking...

on side note.. i LOVED there supra widebody kit which was very wild looking but made the Supra look like a super car! I guess thats what they are looking for when they make kits

Love the front bumper!

XwChriswX 06-22-2010 06:55 PM

They may do awesome body kits, but keep using the same wheels and you'll get repetitive...


Not sure I'm diggin this. I agree with the front end looking like some kind of Italian knock off...

Rear end just doesn't match it, but I can't decide if it looks better than the Amuse rear or not... Hmm..

Best part of this kit to me is the sideskirts lol.

Z eliminator 06-22-2010 07:12 PM

I love it.
Please me the cost of this kit'

Caravanshaka 06-22-2010 07:21 PM

Pm me side skirt pricing and availability please

RCZ 06-22-2010 07:36 PM

Me no like.

Ztoon 06-22-2010 11:59 PM

Best looking kit since Amuse came out. Clean lines.

Boost_lee 06-23-2010 12:37 AM

I like it, but I think the car needs the power to back up the look.

Jordo! 06-23-2010 12:50 AM

That's a whole lotta look :icon17:

I do like the front... mixed feelings about the quad fogs toh'... :icon14:

LunaZ 06-23-2010 07:01 AM

Skip one of the fog lights and run some brake ducting!

Z eliminator 06-23-2010 07:45 AM

GTM SC and that body kit.
Power and a hot looking car>

Vegitto-kun 06-23-2010 08:28 AM

Pm me the price

I love this thing

Chris_1 06-23-2010 10:09 AM

Someone do a color match chop of the front lip, I feel that may or may not look good, but it will give the car a more aggressive lower stance. Its like a nismo front bumper that cut off the bottom lip part, and added the one here, or maybe im coocoo for coco puffs.

DannyGT 06-23-2010 10:20 AM

Disgusting. So many area's with so much potential and then its like they said "lets add this too" - I dont know, way to over the top without any fluidity.

fairladyZ34 06-23-2010 11:25 AM

id get the fog lights filled

zZSoCalZz 06-23-2010 11:36 AM

Pm price please.

LateralG'z 06-23-2010 11:42 AM

Can a pm on the front end, back end, and side skirts. Thanks

fairladyZ34 06-23-2010 11:49 AM

and is that a different rear hatch too? it looks almost too angular where the third brake light is

Hybrid 350GT 06-23-2010 11:50 AM

I like it. I haven't liked many of the kits of the 370 except for the Amuse and now this one.

fusiongt 06-23-2010 12:21 PM

front end does make the Z look like an italian super car.

Vegitto-kun 06-23-2010 01:00 PM

I wonder, what do you see in those big holes in the buttbumper. is it the kit but painted black or?

The wing is definitely part of Abflug's design. It's available in both Carbon and FRP. The wing looks to be adjustable from the pics; I've zoomed in a bit so you can see. If not, it looks like there is room to drill holes for adjustment.

I wonder if the front lip has some vents.

would give alot of drag with all the air pushing in there.

but I think there would be huge amounts of frontal downforce with it

kenchan 06-23-2010 01:13 PM

:wtf2:

I compared a few pictures; I think it's just the lighting. They didn't mention a new hatch design.

The rear vents are all cut out. Looks like Abflug did a good job of painting the inner-body black to keep in clean and not noticeable.

If you brighten up the pictures, you can see that the whole front is also vented with a center pillar for support. My guess is to improve cooling and add downforce as you stated.

Vegitto-kun 06-23-2010 03:03 PM

mmm

I wonder how this would look with the amuse butt and spoiler.

their spoiler is abit...overdone

That's a good idea... :iagree:

Snakebite202 06-23-2010 06:18 PM

I say...Front and sides, NISMO rear and NISMO or Amuse spoiler. It might work.

370Ztune 06-24-2010 01:56 PM

Put up pricing yesterday + sent pm's to everyone requesting prices. Gave special pricing for those that want to be part of the first order of these kits from Abflug. If you're interested, pm me for the special cost.

Demon Z 06-24-2010 10:15 PM

Looks like a Fauxrarri. Just my opinion.

sinceday1 06-24-2010 11:21 PM

Front has some potential.. but then it seems a bit awkward, out of place from certain angles..
and then REAR.....:shakes head:

RedComet 06-25-2010 06:51 AM

Brilliant design, a little abstract but people are forgetting that we're talking about AbFlug here. This is what they do, and I've always had great respect for their work. I think it's beautiful but people in the states just aren't into this kind of cosmetics. Well done AbFlug, well done.

deolee 06-25-2010 04:01 PM

Interesting desgin on the front bumper, but I like the idea just cut out an "air duct" where the fog lights are. Side skirt one of kind, I like. Rear bumper does seem out of place with the front bumper. I wouldn't be suprise if somebody is gonna put the exhaust through that two mesh in the back. What I really want is that Abflug badge on the hood~:tup: Does anybody know if u can get that from Abflug?~

fuct 06-25-2010 04:34 PM

side skirts are nice..... bout it though

puckshaw 06-25-2010 04:49 PM

Sweet jesus that's horrible.
