Is this possible?

SeeyaBud86 · 01-20-2011, 09:40 PM

I've been thinking about a new lip for quite a while, and I simply can't figure out why it has not been made.

I was thinking about a lip for our car that is similar to the Amuse Superleggera 380rs:

The only thing that comes remotely close is a front lip that Seibon makes, called the GT lip:

What I've been thinking of is...What if you molded the Seibon GT lip pictured above to a regular 370z Nismo bumper. It would look something similar to the 380rs. You would have to remove the bottom portion of the bumper first.

It would also be sort of similar to the 350z Nismo front. (I believe thats the bumper that Amuse modified to make the Superleggera 380rs front, not sure.)

Anything is possible if you have the money.

I like the hood on the first pic.

That lip really does not match the lines of the 370 at all.

The lip looks like a harelip and the hood is retarded but the lip is worse.

This thread is not about the seibon lip, its about if there might be something coming out similar to the Nismo front for the 370z or the Amuse 380rs front bumper.

?

I reread the OP post, and it seems to be all about the lip

NewYorkJon34 · 01-22-2011, 08:40 AM

ya, the OP is my friend, and we are looking for the same kinda lip

SeeyaBud86 · 01-22-2011, 09:44 AM

The thread is about custom making a Nismo 370z bumper to have that "wave" the Amuse Superleggera 380rs has. Not about the Seibon GT lip. I was stating the Seibon lip is the closest looking thing out there to the 380rs wave. Maybe custom fabcriating one and removing the ugly lines on the side would look good.
