Hey Edzilla, great build you got going man. I think the AimGain Flares with those Work wheels wheel make a big change. :tup:

So I had a question about your spoiler. I'm waiting on BattleAero to make the Force 2 XL in Carbon Fiber. I heard Thomas recently removed his due to stress cracks ( Not specific on where ). So my question is, how is your spoiler holding up ? :wtf2:

im also waiting for the 2x as well but so far no issuse i havnt put to many miles on it nor no i hard core track my z like he does with his. i just asked him where his fractures are. they could be from over tightening the x braces in the middle of the wing. i notices when i was making news ones for mine the brackest to the wing deck its self had alllllot of tension on the mounting point so if you dont tighten them tooo much i feel you'd be ok.

Sounds great man. I emailed, BattleAero yesterday and they told me the Carbon weave should be in by Friday. I then proceeded to ask them if I could order it right now and they haven't replied... LOL Wel anyways, thanks for the feedback and help bro ! :happydance:

The stress cracks were a split between the top and bottom half. The battle aero wing had no core or any internal backbone for the rivets to hold onto properly. Therefore causing the wing to flex and potentially break at the rivets. If you were to stand on the wing hollow it would snap inwards. Whereas I reinforced mine but cutting it in two filling it with a foam core and steel sheets under the Fiberglass below the mounting points. I could stand on it mounted to the car if I wanted to.

DYI for the aimgain kit today was day one and already have issues, not that they cant be fixed just wasn't ready for an issues so tedious. but we started with cutting the fender themselves.
-Wheels removal
-fender wells removed
-and fenders cut
* you do have to remove the side blinkers for a flush fitment http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...pswzhsyf9g.jpg
Tools used for fender cutting its important to keep a quarter inch at the bottom of the fender where it attaches to the skirt. There is a line up hole for the flair

so the issue was discovered when putting the flair on. I had been told via the sales man that it should fit a sport bumper, well obviously not. ive been told it will work with the same year nismo bumper. other then that option there is the second choice and thats to buy aimgains bumper at 2k plus and 8 months of wait.http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...psti6walsf.jpghttp://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...pssl2z6iz1.jpg

Sorry to hear you have problems. I wouldn't justify to pay and wait that long and then arrive to having fitment issues like this going on :shakes head:

The nismo bumper should work it follows the same body lines as the aimgain does for a much less i just need to find a doner 370 in chicago area to borrow there bumper for a few hours :rofl2:

I know I mentioned it to you on FB, but to convert the nismo bumper to the sport Z will cost north of $2000, if you do it right. Here are some threads:

Plus the lower lip on the Aimgain bumper looks better than the gigantic snowplow that is the pre '15 Nismo bumper. But thats just one guy's two cents.

id have to get a carbon lip for the nismo bumper, to keep the look so it should be smoother after that goes on

You'll end up saving money in the long run with the Aimgain ;)

You ever get your wheel setup ordered? Haven't heard from you since your IG message.
Looks like the build is in full swing, love it!
