Smile Installed:Front Carbon Fiber Bumper!

All By Myself, its actually easy, as long as you drill the holes properly for the bumper the bumper, the Varis Air Duct, Eyelines, and the yellow lights compliment each other..what do you guys think?...Don't diss too hard, I cry easily ...Oh the cage also, props to Adam at Z1 auto and everything else to Jason at performance.

not my style, but it looks good....i like your roll cage. the only thing that i'm not feellin are those overlays for your taillights. i think the Z's taillights are not that bright to begin with so i wouldnt want to reduce that visibilty with a big overlay like that...JMO tho

Looks great, STETCH! Now, the usual questions...Who is the manufacturer of the bumper cover, where did you get it, and what did it cost?

Have a great week!

Thanks guys for your input...No modifications were necessary except for drilling the holes in the bumper properly and cutting the hole for the Varis intake...this bumper went on very smoothly...the sideskirts are Stillen, I like them cuz there polyurethane and won't crack...oh BTW props to Richard at bulletproof for the Varis intake..The bumper is from ViSracing...I got it through Jason at performance...you should PM him for pricing cuz he might be able to hook you guys up...If you must know how much I spent, PM me, but it was not that expensive.

I ordered it from Adam at Z1 auto(he is awesome to work with!)..It was 980.00 I think, not including install...that, I didn't install myself...find out how much it would cost to install it before you buy it...Also remember the normal rearview mirror won't work with the cage...learn from my mistakes

Just a question is the Front Carbon Bumper is 100% carbon Fibre or just Lay out Carbon Fiber with Fibreglass underneath?

Stretch, how safe is that cage compared to others? What is the cage mounted to? The sheetmetal isn't a strong enough mounting point from what I have read.

I agree. I'd personally lose that taillight cover. If anything, just tinit it with one of Bat's overlays. He now has some GTR style overlays as well for the Z. Still waiting on pics his version 2's though.
