I'm an equally subtle person and don't like anything about my own cars to be flashy or over the top.

I currently have a Aerosync V1 that I run for daily and track use use, and will soon have our V2 on the car for show use. Both flow extremely well with the character of my car, yet simultanouesly give it a completely different look.

When you have both next to each other as I did the other night, you begin to really see there are very subtle differences. They are very much in the same overall design them with the V2 being every bit the evolution of the original. I don't find anything racer, let alone ricer, about either one. There are far more aggressive bumpers out there if either of those cues are your goal.

the racer is in the canards

for the long nose style bumper, i prefer the S1 over the V2 - the intake grilles on the side break it up nicely

as I said, it's the eye of the beholder. I happen to vastly prefer the V2 to the S1 style. I understand what you mean about the canards - I personally do not like how they look and and will not be using them on my own car.

V2 looks a lot nicer.. and I'd probably be pimpin' that if I didn't have the Top Secret Lip already...

The V1 is too close to stock looking..

i went through the same decision, authentic V1 or V2 but went V1 for a more subtle look. imo u need the big V2 wing to pull off the V2 front

V1 power

TiPIACE, that Nismo V1 lower rubber skirt under the front bumper is killer awesome! It's the ultimate finisher to your clean car!!

Love the version 2... since it gets rid of the sidemarkers, but I'm not a huge fan of the canards...

it might be a bit too short for the V2, since the V2 potrudes further out than the V1

theyre only 65 bucks, worth a try

I think the S1 is a bit better to me compared to the V2. Like said earlier the openings break up the area which the V2 leaves w/o canards.

Also, ive never seen that rubber thing. I hope it will fit the v2
