Default C-West bumper on redline

Got a replica C-West bumper installed. Thought I'd add it to the gallery. I got it from 350zforums on this board. Fitment is above average and it turned out pretty good for what we started with.

Nice, I like this front end but I had a question about it: does the "air intake hole" have a mesh screen behind it? I definitely want a front fascia with the hole, will go great with my JWT cone and heat shield setup. I think a mesh screen of some sort would be really helpful to stop rocks, debris, and even disperse water and help keep the stuff out of my cone. You said this is a replica, do you know if the real C-west fascia comes with the screen?

I also like the Vissage (spelling?) one, it too has the air intake, and some pretty cool looking fog lights. Don't like the Stillen ones.

Yes, this bumper has a mesh screen that covers all of the openings. Even the main radiator entry.

I do not know if the real C-West bumper has them.

Its a "C1" bumper by carbon creations. I got it from 350zforums, a vendor on this board. It was around $300 bucks. It needed about another $300 to correct blemishes and straighten.

Looks real nice. Good choice - I've always thought the C-West would be my choice if I went FI.

Thanks guys! I'm not sure what to do about the side skirts yet. I'm not sold on the C-west ones. But I do have the "Italian Kit" rear valence on order. Also I can't make up my mind about headlight color. So here's dark.

does the headlight tint diminish the brightness of the headlights? Looks really nice though.

Yes, the overlays reduce the brightness of the hids. Thanks for the input guys. I'll have to take a look at some of the kits mentioned.

They are the Performance Nissan overlays. I tried BlueBats, but they were too thin for me to apply myself. I read in the instructions later that its recommended that you have two guys to install. The Performance ones can be installed with one guy in about 20 minutes.

Thanks! The wheels are CCW's. Complete Custom Wheels. 10.5"/18 and 9"/18. Offset 30 in rear and 25 up front. I normally run 295/35, 265/35 Toyos, but I've got my race tires on in the pics so they are Pirelli PZero Corsas, 255/35, 265,35.
