I think (and hope!) that it will look very sporty and still clean in a single color without the badges and deals on a lowered car with nice 20" wheels!

Im going to paint the whole kit in red (incl lower side spoiler and lip/canards), hope to get a very "factory stock" like look but like it would have been a true uprated motorsport version of the Z. Atleast that how i picture it in my mind

It will be DIRT expensive though... Full kit (with Trial lower rear under spoiler) incl shipping and import tax from Japan is going to be ~$5000... And then it's not painted or fitted yet which will surely be another $1200... Then i need to get coilovers and matching sway's as well which i havent got yet so another $2000 minumum there before the car is ready for spring and summer... And then stereo is next on the list...

Praying the result will be as good as i think and hope and worth every $ i make, otherwise i will be one dissapointed (and broke) SOB...

It is suprisingly nicer without the canards. I thought it would have too much blank space without them but it is fine.

Also does anyone else think it would look good if someone could make a "version" of this front with the stock reflectors somewhere around the normal location and no canards; maybe even out of poly????? don't know who could manage that but maybe they are reading?!?!

Agree, the grille should be black, in dark blue on that picture it looks ok but i definitely prefer it in black.

Im going to paint the grille in black and the lower lip (and rest of the kit) in red like the rest of my car.

Im having a bit of a dilema, im not really sure which i like best, with or without canards... Ive ordered the canards with my kit so ill check them out IRL before i decide to fit them or not (as they come separatly).

Yes ive been thinking about that to... I havent seen any angled surfaces below the canard for bolting the canard to the spoiler, but it looks to thinn for it to be possible to drill and screw streight into it from behind the bumper itself...

im considering both. but i have the V1 kit now. so i only need the bumper
Sure, will do! Though please keep in mind that it will take a few months before it will be on the car, 1 month fore assembling the order and then a week or two for delivery, then ill have to get it painted and fitted along with new suspension which im yet to order.

Ill post an update once i get the kit itself delivered and then updates as the install progresses.
