not feeling that at all..

I'll take the side skirts if you guys don't want them.

My 350Z currently has GReddy GRacer side skirts, and these Central20 parts reminds me of an evolution of the GRacer parts. [Added to shopping list.]

Back bumper isn't terrible, the skirts are ok, but the front bummer is horrendous. It looks like Julia Roberts. Not good at all.

BTW, why do people keep putting vents in the rear bumpers? Are they functional at all?

The rims are sick. What are they?

From what I can remember (I learned about this a while back) is that there are two reasons...one was to evacuate hot air from the exhaust system/brakes and the other had to do with eliminating high pressure zones underneath the car which hurt downforce... letting the air out of the wheel well, in theory, gets rid of those high pressure zones...

It can also be used to create airflow across coolers...

The rear bumper looked like they tried to mock a P-car turbo bumper and failed miserably in my opinion. The IS-F exhaust doesn't fit it either. With some tweaking this may not be too bad though.

Yup - we race R/C cars and removing the lower rear end of the body helps to increase the rear down force - makes a big difference esp at the end of the straight away going into the sweeper. IIRC the NISMO 350Z has the same area removed - likely for increased downforce as well....

Sweet, thanks for clearing that up for me. +1 rep

Someone got paid to design that? How did it even make it off the drawing table?

Anyone think the front bumper looks like a mouth?
