Default Magic Drift Nismo V1 replica lip

Just got this in the mail, cost me $91 with shipping to Hawaii (via amazon, since the ebay store doesn't ship to hawaii) http://amzn.com/B00FEXD0MI

Fitment looks pretty good, if you have trouble putting it on, fit the center first, then go to each side.

No tape included, comes with 4 screws. Will get 3m tape tomorrow. BTW, the lip spoiler ships in it's original shape, not rolled or folded, big plus!

Installed. Didn't do any body work, tried to dip the lip black for protection, doesn't stick. May need to sand it down to make it stick.

3M tape also does not stick to the lip, had to gorilla glue the tape to the lip, then normal 3M side to the car.

Only issue was the part under the side reflectors. You either need to shave the top edge to be flush with the car (and the tape can stick from the lip backside), or put a thin strip of 3m tape and pray that it sticks. As of now, only the top edge is up against the car, under that is not touching. Could also shave near the bottom corner of the grill for perfect fitment.

Installed the fender sides with the 4 screws provided, just dug them into the liner and fender.

Feels solid at 60-70mph, didn't hear it fall off.

I tried to dip it with a gloss coat, but the dip didn't stick, I think the surface needed a sanding before dipping.

I'm fine with it for now, but maybe I'll do a gloss paint coat if i decide to do it.

1: paint jobs are expensive here. about $300 to paint the lip.

2: I don't want to spend 3x the cost of the lip on paint, I would just get a new bumper and paint that. (future mod)

3: I don't give a **** what you think.

Yah, I had the inside lip dipped matte black before this lip. I liked the look.

Im sorry you feel that way.. I'm sure there are a lot of Z's out there that don't meet your standard. Heres a great thing though they're not yours and you don't have too look at them everyday. why not just let him have his lip the way he likes and if you have a issue with it just move on to the next thread. my car is probably far from your standard but its mine.

yah mine is a v3 replica bumper. just to clarify mine is painted mate black not plastidipped. the hood, roof, and hatch are wrapped mate black not plastidipped. I had a plastidipped front lip like yours on my car for about 2 years. I liked it

I'm talking bout the ones that install lips front side or rear that are too cheap to get it painted. Like the civic crowd. Urs is a full bumper which also comes blk from the factory. so wtf man?

Im just saying you knocked his front lip because you don't like it. maybe its what he likes, maybe he can't afford to paint it, this is someones pride and joy he did a mod that he wanted and you put it down. come on man maybe you don't like it but you could of came across a little nicer instead of putting him down.. people take pride in their cars and what they do. i didn't mean to jump all over you but if you read his first post he's proud of what he did and you just come in and wreck it for him.

This was my Z before the V3 kit. so i know right where he was coming from

When the 350z is cheaper than a civic, it gets moded like a civic.

Unpainted/plastidip belongs on civic and other busted up cars, not a 350z. Cant afford to do it right, dont do it at all.

Make all the wxcuses you want, but your unpainted/plastidip 350z are in the same shitty leagues as the civic, actually no, ive seen cleaner civic than these 350Zs...

Haha, yah.

I got a friend who spent about $10k on his brand new golf, bbs wheels, airrex, etc, told me last week he feels sad cause he could have saved all that money for a house.

Thanks for the support brah!

Don't take this as a knock on your car, but I'd take the left one :P

(now that I think about it, I might wrap/dip the roof black)
