Question New Ideas for exterior styling mods.

It's been pretty stale in the Z market lately.. no new styles or kits being made...

what's a couple new exterior styling mods would you like to see be developed or adapted to the Z...

the ony thing i've seen is Zillinois' Vortex Generator post and maybe some talk about cutting OEM hoods for venting..

what do you want next?

(discuss...)

carbon fibre rear diffusers to offset the turbulence created by true-dual/single outlet exhausts!

I'd buy it in a heartbeat

Front accent pieces and a decent rear wing. Something along these lines. Or on the front accent piece, just make it a two piece with one on either side, nothing in the middle.

My wish list:

1. CF Radiator Braces: Sure you can paint them but CF would look hawt! Definitely better looking than that dull black material they are using. Not sure how this would effect rigidity though so, as an alternative, how about a piece that mounts to it? Perhaps a larger radiator shroud that goes wraps fully around that brace.
2. Strut Bar for Tall Plenums: We only have 3 to choose from! Stillen, Crawford, & APS are okay but we need something that looks visually more appealing.
3. Engine Cover for Tall Plenums: Sure you can cut the OE one but it'll be nice to get one that was made specifically for tall plenums so it doesn't look like a hacked up piece of plastic. One that will also accomodate #2 listed above .
4. Brushed Aluminum Gas Filler Cover: Similar to the ones found on the Audi TT's. The only place you can get a good one now is all the way in Germany & they only come in chrome . Better in brushed aluminum to match the door handles.

Hmm? What else...

Well, when I think of more...I'll add it to my list later

Here is my wish list...

Dry carbon vented hood
Dry carbon hatch
Vortex generators
Rear diffuser
Front diffuser
More arodynamically functional body kits
Carbon fiber headlight covers
Dry carbon window replacements for those tiny windows next to the regular side ones.
Lexan rear windows, so you don't have to get one custom made.

I'd like a clean simple black mesh grille that is a full replacement and not just an overlay design.

I think we need some more exterior peices that go onto the stock peices. we have alot of full body kits, but no really good lips front or rear that are really good.

350ZNV, you can cross one off your list. ;-) Look for this next week. I based it on your new exhaust.
