cant say that about a lot of shops ... a lot of smaller shops still relying on manual input for online sales receipts and tracking info. and you ask them for tracking number more than a few time due to their tardiness, suddenly their smiles turns to frowns and they make it sound like you're being impatient. :ugh2: wtf

this day in age, OL shopping should be 100% automated and only need human support when you ask for it. :)

I hear ya.... FWIW, try autogeek.net. Been buying my stuff there for years. Noted for their exceptional customer service and quality. They too sell Griots ;) Also, I'm just giving you grief about Griot's... I use them too. I use a LOT of diff't stuff... a LOT.

Yes pics please... what are those two? The CF splitter is the front? I am excited to see my CF rear valence overlay after it gets done today. I will take pics after.

Very sorry to hear that sir. Why did the tranny blow??? warranty issue or some other mods you did?

oh, the manufacturer's name is "Ings+"

and i got their front CF splitter (lip spoiler). :D i need to figure out if i need to remove the stock front diffuser or not. probably yes.

not sure if im going to need to remove the diffusers in front of each of the tires too. probably yes. :D hahaha.

Ken that LOOKS AWESOME. Reminds me of the front lip I had on my RX7. Do you have a side view of it? Just wondering if it still "flows" well with the car with the OEM skirts.... or does the new splitter sit so far down?

Also, where did you get and how much? simple install? Oh and is it REAL cf?

370zproject 05-16-2011 11:12 AM

i wonder how that would look in blue with the fangs blacked out

yep, i was originally going to do the top-secret CF one but due to the CF fangs i have on (which scuffed the ends of the bumper opening during install i cant really remove it now :ugh2: ) i didnt have too many choices left... im guessing that this one will fit under the CF fangs without doing any cutting. :D and yes, the one i got is real CF and was 675 shipped. they are also offered in FRP for less. got it from drivelinestore.com

the splitter is small enough i dont need to do the sides. :p not sure how much lower it is vs the stock sport front diffuser yet, but i dont think it's any lower which is a big plus for me. :tup:

here's where i first saw this lip installed... :tup:

ok that looks really nice. Although I am concerned about scraping that... I don't know if I could ever relax knowing that I have 675 bucks worth of a splitter perhaps scraping whenever I get on my driveway :( I've already scraped the stock front diffuser on the road :(

also what did you mean by this?
"the splitter is small enough i dont need to do the sides. "

i meant that the splitter is small in profile so i dont need to do side skirts. :)


yah if you're already scraping the sport front diffuser you will probably scrape this one too. the Z already looks great without a front lip so this is just a preference thing.

For scraping, I am investing in one of these:

WHO SELLS THAT ONE???

lol... kidding.

That fixes the curb scrape for your OWN driveway. Not if you're driving your Z to the store, club, someone else's house, work, etc.... any other place with a raised entry/exit way.... you're screwed. :(

Not like you can pack a curb ramp with you in the trunk (uh oh... THERE'S an idea!!! I want royalties!!!)
