Cool deal, I can't wait to see the finished product. You can kind of see how the red pieces clip in with the Z1 pic above.

Yeah no worries, I see the receiving mounts but it still is always better to have the actual insert (which I bet you know already;) but either way from the looks of that pic, I most likely will be doing a direct clone/copy of the originals and a "Race" version too. For me actions speak louder than words so lets just wait 'til I can get my hands on a set of red pieces/winglets:tiphat:

There is also no reason the CF pieces couldn't just be doubled sided taped in place?

Well, if they can be bolted on rather than double sided taped it would give the end user more security/piece of mind knowing they can't just "fly off". This is only because they would be replacement parts, not covers.

From the photoshop thread. Cooltoy working magic on my Z. The request was the new bumper CF inserts instead of DRL's and The red pieces being CF Twill pattern. I'm thinking evo-r side blades will go perfect with this fascia.


All praises be to cooltoy

my thoughts exactly!

My bumper and red inserts will be delivered Thursday! I love that Z1 is in Georgia. I'll need to source the other "mounts" though. I'm debating trying to wrap CF, or just have them painted gloss black when I get the rest of the bumper done.

My front and rear bumper shipped but the front red pieces haven't been shipped yet, as soon as I get them they will be molded within days!!

martin82 09-17-2014 12:18 PM
Call them to order and get pricing.

Any chance you might make some FRP ones as well?


And an open question to everyone: Has anyone figured out a solution for the DRL's other than buying the very expensive Nissan parts?

Could something be done using LED strips?

EDIT: Canard type inserts is a great idea!

KaienZ34 09-17-2014 02:05 PM
The places I've talked with said they need to have the bumper on hand to make or get some led's that fit.

martin82 09-17-2014 02:15 PM
If you know anyone near Los Angeles they can work on my bumper np... before I cut it all UP lol.

lesper4 09-17-2014 04:21 PM
I am checking with some friends. What about Status Autoworks in Gardena? Not sure if they do (electrical) fabrication. They do wraps and body kits.
