Anyone here has Seibon GT-style carbon fiber front lip on their 370Z?

Just got back from Monticello NY Track day- 6 MPG great fun-will post some GoPro mounted on tow hook- GT Lip was functional as well did notice more plant on front end down long back straight - looks great too.

Fitment was very good- easy 90 minute install on ramps- remove factory sport lip to install

Tons of pics from all angles-

Victor was great to work with @ speedelement

I had to remove the factory Sport "lip" which was about 3/8"-1/2" lower than bottom of Seibon GT Lip - so this is slightly higher BUT will hit curbs and need to be careful pulling out of parking lots etc that have good dip before road- just need to be careful and pay attention

I wanted functional plus good look- flowing with car not a complete bolt on look.

Did June track day at Monticello- back straight 1.5 Miles with slight turn and drop off about 2/3 way down- probably doing 135-145 mph- front did feel just a little light as the track dropped away- no problem as just slight turn but I would feel more comfortable if front was a little more planted.

Sept track day (this past Friday- will post some gopro vid latter) same back straight flat out- Z seemed more planted and I was very confident nailing it down the back straight- at least I thought I was getting more down force and Z handled great all day

Overall very pleased with fitment, think looks fine on Z as did others at track-goes with lines & hood "bump"- could almost be factory - not too over the top and seems to work at high speed and is roadable too if your paying attention

Only have had installed few days- a lot of positive feedback- everybody seems to say goes with the car lines and looks good.

The pictures only confirm what I believed all along. That the Seibon lip is a high quality, good looking carbon fiber lip. So, unless my financial circumstance improves to the point where I can afford the Zele front facia and carbon fiber lip, I'm adding the Seibon to my future short list. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Just downloaded these pics- tracked Z after install Seibon lip. This was second time at Monticello and did notice better front down force on long back straight. Functional at high speed and looks good in the parking lot too.

Just found this.

nice lip indeed!

Zxces50 · 12-18-2010, 12:14 PM

Hey- this lip is strong too- takes a hit and keeps on going. Low speed crash- bumper to bumper commute. No injuries or airbags. Be in the shop for a little while.

FairladyZ10PG · 12-18-2010, 01:21 PM

Bummer.

christian370z · 12-18-2010, 07:43 PM

Man, that really blows. It looks like the Seibon lip was left untouched, that must be a relief.

Geebus, what hit you?
Hope she gets back to you soon in good shape.

I hit 08 Camery pass side rear bumper corner making impact just about at my driver headlite-tried to avoid by swerving into breakdown lane- just needed 6" more to clear- my stupid mistake in stop and go- long day at work just not focused- not on phone or anything- was doing 15-20 MPH just prior in 50 MPH zone - ~ 5 MPH at impactFortunately no one hurt- virtually no damage to Camery- the Z pretty much disintegrated into little pieces (10 degrees F) - no structure hit at all- just plastic and CF. Siebon lip no damage. Appraiser coming this AM- will be in shop till probably Feb but I store in winter and use my truck so guess my timing was good.

did you yell at the camry driver why the hell was she/he in the way?

if you keep yelling it might convince them to stay home next time.
