Motored the Z, spoiler addon is going no where. Took her up to err, uhhh, umm speeds which tested if it was going to stay on or not, passed with flying colors.

Some underhood power with a usb for continuous GoPro charging, and a 12v LED flashlight just in case

After digging the CF add on (and seeing Madwi's), think I need a CF rear diffuser to match. Something really clean and simple, no huge fins or anything like that. Understated I guess you could call it. Haven't looked into them much so going to take a little research. Z1 has one I like but no way can I justify $1000 for a CF diffuser!

Fujimura is best anyways and actually understated in real life. On black, it would look great, I think.

You could try just plasti-dipping that area to see how you would like a simple look.

I considered wetsanding it without polishing to give it a matte look.

Will check into the fujimura. That's the one you have I take it?

You are correct.

Fujimura for roughly $400. Best way to go

ChaseZ · 08-21-2016, 10:03 AM

This is the one you guys are talking about, yes?

ChaseZ · 08-21-2016, 10:21 AM

Anyone know if the Evo-R is the same, or very similar to the Fujimura? I can find it for $350 but the Fuji cheapest I've come across so far is $595 which is more than I want to spend. Where you guys getting the Fuji for 4 bills??

Looks pretty darn close to me. It may be just the picture quality but the Fuji looks a little better.

EVO-R seems hit or miss on quality, I personally didnt want to risk it. Fujimura on Japanparts.com I think it was $388 + ship.

Found it $393

BUT

Estimated shipping time 60-75 days!! Car will probably be parked for winter by then

Yea. That's normal, but so worth it. I'd skip evo-r. If you're hell bent on going that route, but through the z store only. NEVER buy directly through Evo-r. The guy is a known scam artist.

I'm certainly not hell bent on supporting a scammer, even indirectly.

Looks like I might have to save this one for winter project status. Which is ok too. I can try that wetsand trick, or even a dark charcoal paint in the meantime if I get really horny to make some changes.
