Thumbs up New front Lip

Here it is.

It is an AutoTecknic Lip and it snaps in place but I drive a bit more spirited then most so I had to secure it a bit more than usual.



Front View



Side View



Holding Bolts



Upper Mounting Bolts (Not used in regular application)



Bolt in Upper Mounting point

Thumbs up Yes and drilled my finger in the process...LOL

But nothing very indepth. I installed it without any instructions but if you drive normal you could just install holding bolts and not upper mounting bolts. But I wanted to make sure it was not gonna flex when I was going 150mph....LOL

Thumbs up Cant really drill under bumper

It sticks out to far to drill from under the stock lip you have to use the side of the bumper and if you want to brace it more you will need to figure a way to adhere the top of the lip to the factory bumper.

Color of Lip is lilke Condensed milk so no it is not the same as the stock White but it is gonna get thrashed with what I am doing with the car so it just seems retarded to pay to paint it just to thrash it all over again.

Sorry guys I am more Function them bling so I am not **** about matching the paint or how it is screwed in the bumper, but it is very simple to install and you can do it in about 30 min.

Tell them your a MY350Z member and you will probably get a discount. I know I did. I have their radiator panel and CF OEM style spoiler and love both.

Looks Fantastic!

What's better, a lip made out of:
ABS
Carbon Fiber
Fiberglass
Urethane
Other?

urethane would be the best material.. its very close to many oem bumpers
... expensive to produce kits with
high quality fiberglass would also be a very nice choice, bad quality fiberglass will warp, and be absolute garbage
c/f lip would depend on how many layers of c/f were used/ the weave/ the epoxy, but if its all quality you should be in good shape
abs is jus absolute garbage...

Thumbs up Cost was 150 shipped but it was the last one in stock

not sure when they will get more in but it is very sturdy although not Urethane it has held up against speed bumps, Parking stops, Drive ways, Coons....LOL

Spirited Driving is not running after animals but it is autocross and track events.

So if you are looking for an inexpensive lip that is not too hard to istall this one is a good buy and you can paint it or not depends on what you are in to.

ABS is better than fiberglass, and far less then Carbon fiber. But Not as good as Urethane but will hold up better than CF or Fiberglass in my opinion.

Solid Snake I will try to get some for you today if possible.
King Tut I also have a CF Radiator Guide as well has help up ok but it is getting worked over as well.....LOL This car was made to be driven not sit in my garage....

Thanks for opinions I appreciate the posts guys.
