He needs something there because it has the "the gasser look". A lip should take care of it.

Christian, I have admired most your mods to date. The rear spoiler does need something to offset or balance the rear end. Like I said before, black out the rear difuser. I like the clean look with tasteful mods which you have done so far. :tup:

nice vid! sounds great. Btw, love the VW minibus in the vid :)

Thanks for answering Zforce! I love the VW Bus, especially the T1 split window. I detailed one last summer, it was a camper bus and was a split window with what looked like dish clothes as curtains haha.

Here's the link if you want to check it out:

Absolutely, I agree with you 100 percent. That is why I have been on the lookout for a carbon fiber front splitter, but I feel like it is not a financially wise decision for me at this point until I save up some extra cash. However, I am looking for an EVO-R carbon fiber splitter or a used ING CF splitter.


I just did a quick photoshop of the painted rear lower valence, what do you think?

Now that is what I am talking about. I am all over this. Since I already have the oem painted PG rear spoiler, I would probably go with a c/f overlay. I have not priced out the one you picked up from Motorsport Auto, but I believe overlays are looking very good these days. What do you think?

Edit...ouch $400 for the c/f spoiler http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/370z02/30-7299


Q: Would the Evo or Ing splitter scrape with our currect 1.3" drop with Swift springs?

Boost_lee 07-31-2011 09:35 PM

Awesome VW bus in the link!

I like the rear overlay also

ZForce 07-31-2011 09:55 PM

Man I retract my post above about c/f overlay. I just looked at EVO website and saw all of the c/f for the front fangs + upper section and the rear difuser. I am impressed they have come out with some great quality c/f products since I first watched the EVO R lip thread develope on this forum. And the pricing is not that bad.

I was worried about the contrast with my current blacked out fangs + upper section and the EVO-R II c/f center piece as to how it would contrast against black. It might still look good until I can spring for the c/f fangs + upper section.

What were you thinking of going with? Or were you going to leave the fangs painted oem PG?

Latest Addition
 
I had always though that the front of the base Z looked a bit off, like something was missing. After seeing some pictures of the INGS+1 front lip, it became my favorite lip out there. It is on the subtler side, and it doesn't protrude in front of the car which is exactly what I wanted.

I struck a deal with deal with Mike (dirTy_shoez), polished it up and installed it.

Fitment: it is dead on. It is a very easy installation process where you bolt it up to two bolts that hold those plastic flaps that are in front of the wheels on. Then you use some 3M VHB tape along the top of the lip, bolt it on then press it onto the bumper so that the tape adheres.

Looks: love it. As I mentioned earlier, I chose this lip because it was clean and on the conservative side. It also flows perfectly with the carbon fiber sport package spoiler I also recently installed and gives the front of the car much more attitude while make the car look visually lower.


Anyway, here are some pictures I took earlier today. Let me know why you think!

Thanks Trips, you should definitely go for it! The Stillen lip would match your matte black trim nicely too. :)

Thanks man! I'm thinking about it, I have played around in Photoshop to see how it would look and it does look good. I don't know what else I should do to the exterior right now though haha.
