Front lip only; no sides or rear...would that look stupid?
I'm one of the minority of people who actually prefer the stock lines of the Z as opposed to 95% of the body kits out there (I'd sell a kidney for the TS widebody kit though 
). The front bumper however, I feel is a little too plain looking. I'd like to add a subtle lip, such as the v1 lip. However, I'm not sure if my car would look stupid and unbalanced with only a front lip and nothing else. What do you guys think? If this is a stupid idea, please lay it on me easy, no flaming!

I'm seriously considering doing the same thing... the only body kits that I think are tasteful are all VERY pricey (i.e. TS, Do-Luck, etc.), and I'd rather put that money towards something else. I've seen several pictures of the V.1 lip by itself on the boards, search around a bit and you'll find them. Looks very clean!

i have a veilside V1 lip with no sides or rear and i think it looks great, but my lip broke during a drive on the high way due to debree in the road. Being replaced with a new nismo bumper. But here are some pics and hope helps out .

Okay, I'm convinced; I'll go for it. One more question: I'm having my stock bumper repainted anyway; how much extra should I expect to pay to have the lip moulded onto the bumper?

I've always thought that a Z with the OEM spoiler, the Veilside V.1 front lip, and a slight drop looks a lot longer and more stretched out than a stock Z, which is a very nice look for the car. Go for it failsafe!

There's a ton of them on these forums. Do a refresh on the front page of the site and you'll probably see a few. I like the look. I was considering it originally but decided to just get the whole kit.

The car looks great with the Nismo front lip. I have people tell me all the time how much the lip improves the look of the car. I like the lip and the OEM splash guards along with lowering the car slightly.

failsafe - If you have a super black then you can get away with just a front lip and it looks fine. On other colors it stands out more. But on black it looks very nice.
