man i am in the same boat. i wanted to get the top secret front lip with defuser under the car but from what i hear top secret went out of business cause the owner was buying stollen cars. take a look at the c-west front lip it is a little big but as long as you stay away from the parking lot curbs youll be just fine

Dunc,

Looks very good. It's a little more subtle than some I've seen.

Made my day, exactly what I was trying to achieve.. Wheels are just factory blanks sent out for chroming. Your dealer should be able to get them for you at reasonable cost or ask around in forum and search members for sale items. Im sure just about everyone who has done a wheel upgrade has them in the garage. So get a set and send out to local shop.

Dunc - great choice. I've been debating over this one myself, but now that I've seen yours I'm convinced. Thanks for the pics.

Is your lip FRP , urethane or CF? Is it mounted with 3M tape? Any fitment problems?

Again, good job - thanks!

Urethane Veilside V1 fit very well 4 bolts on the bottom aready there look under front fender 2 each side and then about 2 ft of 3m double face tape on center section only.
Local shop painted it for $150.00 matched perfect.

Went with urethane because of concerns with cracking FG also cheaper so it was a win win

I'm personally gonna go with the ings+1 half kit. I've received an email confirmation from ings in Japan that the kit will fit our ZR's. It's very understated which I like, but some of you won't like paying that much $$$ for something subtle.
