Thanks...that's what I wanted to hear. I love the nose, probably the best redesign I've seen for the Z, but I'm not a fan of having the lower lip.

I'd like to modify the bottom of it to work with keeping the rest of the car stock. Something like the crappy photoshops below:

In general, I'm not a big fan of Lemans Sunset but that color looks incredible w/ the kit. The Do-Luck (widebody version though) is my second favorite kit for the car. Sweet ride all the way 'round.

Since the kit is fiberglass, you could have the bodyshop cut the lip off and sand it down smooth to make it look like your chops.

Great kit. Looks really good on the LeMans. IMO I kinda like the front lip, without it the front bumper looks like it's smiling.

Thanks Yeah everybody has been saying they think it looks great w/o a rear spoiler...I think so too, but I think what we'll do will be better, so we'll see!

Dave, how was your hood fitment? It looks like it lines up perfect. I'm debating between Seibon VS or Veilside Ver 2. Again, your car looks great and the Do-Luck kit is awesome in that color.

It's pretty decent, it does come up a tiny bit on the right side, but barely noticeable. I had to do a bit of modifying to make it fit on initial installation. I'd say it should have been better for the price to be honest. I've been driving with just latching w/o pins for a long time with no problems, but I'll be putting pins in very shortly (powdercoated black because I hate the look of hood pins, but we're talking functionality here) to be safe.

That is one sexy Z....Dave how was the quality of the work? Did you see anything you complained about? Wish they had done differently? Would you recommend them?

Thanks! Work was very good quality. Everything is covered under a lifetime warranty so if any problems arise, I could go back to them. I was treated very kindly, and e-mailed pictures throughout the process of how things were going. Very impressed.

How is the fitment with the front mount intercooler? Any modifying to get the bumper to fit?
