Default Suggestions for Front Lip

Hey i have an '03 touring model with the splash guards all around and am wanting to either keep it real simple and just add a front lip or try to go "semi-simple" and add a the veilside v1 "lip kit". I was hoping that someone would maybe have a picture showing their Z with only a front lip and splashguards as i have already seen plenty of the v1 kit. i also found the price of the v1 kit painted for $1200 shipped, anyone know if this is a good price? Thanks in advance for any advice/help...

I would do the nismo or veilside v1 front lip. Make sure you get urethane material though for the best durability.

I would highly advise against buying anything, especially sunset, prepainted. Not an easy color to match, and you are far better off having a local shop handle it in the event of any paint issues

DO NOT get pre painted unless you plan on repainting. I just got a v1, great looking lip.

I like the Stillen lip. Look at the VRT cars with the Stillen lips, that and the Greddy lip, both are eye catching to me.

well, the authentic kit runs you around $800. Another $300 for paint and installation sound reasonable. Make sure it is authentic full kit. (front/side/rear)

It wasnt cheap..the $800 range is the lowest I have seen it posted for....be it that its an undertray diffuser too aids towards justifying it...its still a sweet, but pricey mod...

I also might be selling it in a bit...I recently have my eyes on a full kit that Im considering...
