Bomex front lip on Z1 shop car.
 
This is the first Bomex lip in the US. We had a day to have it installed but it still lined up pretty good (please ignore the rivets). Also the center under the fangs is carbon fiber. Ok on to the pics.

Thanks for posting the pics. I don't think that looks as good as the photoshop drawing.

looks terrible. the front end of the bumper is mostly curves and adding a lip that is done mostly in angles doesn't flow well at all and really looks tacked on.

So smooth out the center, lose the gap in the very center between the lip and the bumper, lose the area right near the opening where it juts in and just make it one smooth flowing piece across there, smooth the radius's to match the contour of the front bumper and you have a winner in my book!

I think I said smooth 100 times!:ughdance:

^^ I agree as well. I looked better in the illustration. But it's ok. There are other worse looking lips out there. I looks nice looking at it from the front (last pic). The other angles are so so.

John@Z1 10-08-2009 03:50 PM

Not sure if this is going to the final version.

Another tally for the "I don't think that looks as good as the photoshop drawing" camp.

It looks...okay.

I thought it looked pretty good when I saw it in person.

Pretty dope rims. :yum:

New pic on OP. Looks way better in person. Remember center is carbon fiber but we had it painted.

It would have looked even worse with the center unpainted

simota1 10-09-2009 11:15 AM

:icon18: haha yah i think if they blacked out the fangs like in the PS i MIGHT look a lil bit better?

Snakebite202 10-09-2009 11:47 AM

Looks like another bomex flop to me...would need to see it in person though.

The Weapon 10-09-2009 12:37 PM

With all the gaps it looks like it's just barely holding on for it's life.

It's held on pretty good but this is a prototype.

Since it's a prototype, does that mean there may be a change?

DannyGT 10-10-2009 10:43 AM

Geez, not what I expected at all! Wow..this sucks. I really hope they change it...I would have loved to see what the quality and how the center piece would have looked like if it stayed black/CF.

Not really...not if Z1 would do the fangs in black...check out all the photoshops I did on each colored Z's..looks 10x better than this.

simota1 10-10-2009 06:00 PM

^^^^^^^^:tup: agreed they should have painted it..

:-) I was being nit picky. Wanted to see it directly from the side. But the photo above is good. The more I look at it the more I like it. Why is it taking so long for aftermarket body parts to come out for the 370Z?

JoeD 10-11-2009 06:45 PM

What's the deal with Bomex overall? I could remember at least 10 years ago, they were a very respectable name in aftermarket aero-parts, however I have reason to believe that they have lost a step or two in recent years. Perhaps a change in manufacturing techniques or facility?

tkindred 10-11-2009 10:38 PM

What am i missing? Why is everyone so down on this bomex piece? Questioning the quality and such? It looks good to me.

Because the final lip looks nothing like the original illustration. It's really a shame because people loved the original illustration. I'm not sure why bomex couldn't make the final lip look like it did in the illustration. If they had then I'm sure they would of sold a ton of lips.

Yeh, I see what you mean. The illustration does look much better. Oh well. Maybe another manufacturer can replicate it?

simota1 10-12-2009 01:25 AM
