Do-Luck please help me decide something
OK, as some of you know, the FI.com 350Z is undergoing a major transformation, and its way to 700whp and title of the highest whp street driven, full interior 350Z. (3.5L).
Anyways, I was all set to do the full Do-Luck kit, but something about the front bumper just doesn't seem right. It isnt quite as angular and sharp, in comparison to my ING's front bumper.
What are everyone's thoughts on this? Do you guys think the Do-Luck bumper is "Aggresive" enough for my car?
I LOVE the sides and rear bumper...I dont need any convincing on those areas.
Here is my current front bumper.
If anyone has some additional side and front shots of the DoLuck kit..please post or link them.

sup sharif I've owned both Ings+1 N-Spec and Do-luck fronts on my Z with the GReddy kit and not one person that has seen both on the car has said the Ings looked better than the Do-luck. It doesnt take anything away from the intercooler if anything I think it makes it look more aggressive. I can take a dirty car pic of it for you tomorrow if that helps.
Oh and not that it matters that much but being as you are going for a unique standard powerwise its nice to have a less common bumper and with the initial d replica out there the ings is not nearly as rare as the do-luck.

I say dont get the do luck b/c thats what I was planning to get. 
But I do agree that the front bumper has a rounder slope in the front. Somewhat like a S2K. I would think about just keeping your front bumper and getting just do luck sides and rear. I have also been thinking about doing that combo. I also think the Vertex would look nice on your car, but its not as aggressive.

Sure...some pics...especially from the side fender area would be awesome. Thanks for the feedback.

GO with THE DO LUCK!!!! The front bumper is the best... I saw it on my car prior to paint and it still looked mean!! Best kit out there, just make sure that the SHIPMENT is good or you will be very mad. Now I have to wait to get a new rear bumper because it came cracked after waiting for 4 weeks

Actually, I just noticed they had a special on them. These body kits are imported by just a couple of shops, so its hard to find them in stock I might just break down and buy it retail from IM.

Estes lost my body kit for 4 months..I had already bought a new one and they were ready to pay up on the loss claim when they suddenly found it..All freight companies suck.. Im not a big fan of the Do-Luck,its too round and makes the car look like a "*****"

Seriously, I was suprised how much I liked your kit in person when I saw it at ZdayZ. You can't go wrong either way, IMO. Put a wing on the back if you need a "different" look. Just don't buy the Trial wing

I don't think anyone has the airwalker kit, that would be your most unique choice... that or the Strosek kit, that'd look HOT!
have you seen the DAMD Street Style kit?

Do-luck front is awesome. Get it. I like the ings look, but the do-luck is better IMO.
