the only area to watch out for is the corners... the very front of the Ings is tucked right under the front bumper so no issue.

just giving you an idea on the clearance.

no issue going up/down my ramps with extensions either.

WHOA WHOA... wait, so Ken, you're telling me that the Ings lip/splitter actually sits HIGHER than the stock diffusers? Really? I thought I read from some folks here that it definitely sits lower???? Did you measure it?

If it truly is higher, this might be a splitter I will get....

yep.

no need to measure, i know from me removing the stock sports diffuser and me installing the ings that the ings sits higher with better clearance.

Slightly off topic but I'm lazy today LOL. What is the name of the Z show that was held in NC over the weekend. I'd like to attend next years show. And no I don't expect to win best 370z modded there.

I stopped looking at your pics after I saw the exposure levels....

I kid I kid

Pics look great Ken! That lip goes very well with your CF fangs. From what I can tell the lip does look to be at least the same height as the OEM one, but the difference is that it sits further out front than the OEM diffuser. I wonder if that would make more or less prone to scuffing?

kenchan · 05-23-2011, 03:25 PM

G2Z- lol! thanks. im embarrased to post these picts now.

naw, im totally comfortable using a teddybear cartoon mug at work my wife gave me 20yrs ago so no issue.

only the corners sit about 4.5" further forward to make the facia square up front but the center part of the splitter lines up with the bumper. as for the clearance, the lowest part of the lip sits exactly on the plane where the small stock side diffuser pieces mount. im physically using one of the 3 screws per side to mount the Ings.

the small side diffuser flaps extend about 2" from the mounting point downward. the Ings has nothing that extends downward from that point so it has more ground clearance.

Ken -- that looks great. How about a side view pic?
