WOW non of that flows or even fits correctly. I dont wanna burst your bubble since its your car but man those guys need to stop letting the crack head ricers stop designing parts! Performance wise the car just fell into the same category as the F4 Phantom!

HATED1 09-14-2010 03:15 PM

i would have to agree, i don't really find it that great looking, i tried to look for something that i do like on the kit, but honestly i think you are better off stock.

chippy 09-14-2010 03:16 PM

:barf:

Dont want to be rude but a waste of a decent car I reckon.

Jamaica 09-14-2010 03:17 PM

Good thing I didnt respond.

phelan 09-14-2010 03:17 PM

and the entire side skirt looks like half of a shuriken haha

I think I just threw up IN MY BRAIN.

370zproject 09-14-2010 03:21 PM

FuszNissan 09-14-2010 03:22 PM

Is this PS? I hope

phelan 09-14-2010 03:23 PM

still trying to figure out why you need the air scoops by the rear window...but my brain, it's asploding as we speak!!!

Jamaica 09-14-2010 03:23 PM

I know Doc at xenon had some good ideas but at least make the scoops functional.

Agreed, Xenon choose to do the window and hood scoop.

Yeah doc is a great guy, you should have seen what they were going to do before.... phew....

With this they were trying something new that the market does not have, so for us forum guys its hard to see it for a performance and even look perspective...but they are targeting the euro crowd :rolleyes:

bullitt5897 09-14-2010 03:52 PM

if they make the fender scoop not a rip off of the IS-F and actually make a fender instead of a plastic tack on piece then yeah it would be a viable product for either the european market or the Japanese/American enthusiast market.

The side skirt scoop needs to be made lower profile and within scale of the car.

The hood scoop I can see M4mustangA1 rocking that till the cows come home!

The hatch spoiler looks like a decent design and should do well.

oh wow hahahahahaha

atx370z 09-14-2010 04:06 PM

this is a pure example of function>form.

The fenders need to be complete fenders if they are going to try and pull off a fender scoop. Looks like something you would buy at autozone and just stick on.

As far as hood scoops go, if they aren't functional, then they are nothing less than retarded.

The side scoops... not even sure what to say about those other than they would make good bug catchers.

Not really feelin any part of the kit, but you never know... there is probably a lot of people out there that would buy it.

fuct 09-14-2010 04:15 PM

^^^^ you mean :::: function<form

Chris_1 09-14-2010 04:44 PM

:wtf2::eek2::koolaidwall:

Ztoon 09-14-2010 04:45 PM

If 3M tape is the only thing holding those side scoops on, they'll likely be ripped off at speed.

Go fast!!

The way you typed it read "form is greater than function."

Simota, the first things I removed where the hood scoop and side scoops.... I think it looks okay with the side GT-R looking side and side skirt add on.

Agreed, after speaking with the owner of xenon I understand why they did what they did. I may not like it but hopefully this can help explain it.

Think Two Pools of Companies in Manufacturing:

Pool 1 (Lip kits, Body Kits, Spoilers), Most Customers and Alot of Competition, Maybe 5% to 15% chance of customer purchase
Examples:
Amuse
EVO-R
Stillen
Top Secret
and Many Many more

Pool 2 (Add on Pieces), Niche Customers and ZERO Competition 50% chance of customer purchase
Xenon

From a business aspect, I do have to agree with him. Cheap, easy to make, no competition, and people may or may not like it. Its a educated Gamble.
