Default Nismo Lip Install and other goodies

Just a few pics of my nismo lip after a ~3 hour install. First time doing anything like this and it wasn't that bad. It probably could have been done quicker but I ran into 2 problems, 1) had to recharge my drill battery 2x's and 2) found that I was missing some parts, but I got around that. The hardest part was getting over the fact that i was going to have to drill into my bumper.

I also included pics of my smoked sidemarkers done (last week), removed rear windshield wiper (done ~ 1 month ago), and my next project...cleaning my car (had a buddy at Meguirs send me a care package!!!)

your car looks great! but something about the nismo lip just makes it not look flush with the bumper.. maybe just because you can see the lines where the lip was attached. this makes me definitely want to go for the veilside v1 lip.

Couldn't of said it any better myself. The V1 looks perfect for the Z IMO. The Nismo lip looks good though, just don't like how it shows off the lines of the lip too much.

BTW, I'm glad you painted it. So many people are installing kits and not painting them. I don't understand that.

Thanks for all the comments and sorry about posting in the wrong spot. About the lip standing out and not being flush. I notice that too and i kind of like it but have been wondering about making it more flush to the bumper. I am going to search for more pics hopefully others have nismo lips without the rubber strip so i can see what it's like.

Thanks for all the compliments. My car is a work in progress, my next thing will be putting a screen in the navi compartment and possibly redoing the entire stero system. I am still trying to research my options
