i starting to agree. only looks good with omore black pieces. might go one color depending on the rims i get. if i get the silver lmgt4's i want, i'll go with all silver paint for the Z; but, if i get the Top Secret Gold te37's, i'll go with silver and black two-tone.

Black cannards!

Do you have any close up pictures of how the integrated air intake directs air to the filter housing?

yes, please do!! love the TS setup

I'm looking for the FULL kit, but I guess at that price it'd be worth it.

Awesome thread...love the bumper...didn't like it initially, but I like it now.

As far as JDM vs USDM sideskirts, does the JDM cost a lot more and are they much harder to come by? Links to places where these can be purchased?

as for JDM vs. USDM, besides being different material, they look different. look closely and you will notice that the JDM sides are less flared out than the USDM sideskirts. i like the JDM version for my Z, lines seem to match better with the bumper lip.

here are pics: 1. JDM 2. USDM
