Now that's a nice lip...hopefully it'll come in FRP because CF isn't quite worth it to me-

Are they trying to make the headlights look like Porsche's?

I agree the lip is a clean design. I would get it painted though cause I think it wont match well with CS.

The spoiler I got already though this one seems to extend out more on the rear and sides.

please dont get offended VQ, but does this thing have a purpose or is it for looks? Does everyone here like the way it looks?

I dunno, Ive been thinking about the nismo spoiler but everyone refers to it as "rice"....and yes I care about what other people think...why else would I buy a spoiler. Its for looks, not cuz Ill be hitting 160 mph sweeping turns.

Nice and Subtle lip... alot better than most ive seen so far, but in my opinion, the carbon fiber would only look good on a black Z, they should also make a body colored version...

so glad I have a black Z, but yeah, will these things actually produce downforce? cause the Z needs some at high speeds. trust me if you havent tried for yourself. Id almost prefer something adjustable... but sadly large wings even on cars that could benifit from them have been labeled rice. stupid FWD civics.

Finally someone made a spoiler that doesnt double as a coffee table. This is exactly the kind of extended lip spoiler I was hoping to come out. And in CF its definitely going to give the rear end the JDM look. Now lets see if i can get this thing photoshopped to the tail of a Daytona Z...

If this thing had a blue pearl finish over it my drooling would never cease.

Nice, but I like the Nismos better, similar but looks stronger.

Ha! Nismo? Rice? I'm betting that the Nismo spoiler is the most functional (i.e. - downforce creating) wing out there. Unlike Veilside or Wings West, Nismo wouldn't make something on looks alone. I'd go for the Nismo wing, but it's a bit too drastic for my tastes. That Karamiri rear lip thinger is more my speed; fuctional, but understated. The rest of the Nismo body kit, however, is right up my alley, I just wonder how the Karamiri wing would look with the rest of the nismo kit? (mmmm...and don't forget some 19" Gunmetal TE-37s.....)
