Just placed my order on Aerosync N-Style Polyurethane Front bumper from http://www.gruppe-s.com/ and JP/Vizage Type A side skirts and rear skirt from Rickdogg! They should be here soon. Did any of you order things from http://www.gruppe-s.com/ ? The website gave me a hard time about shipping. Basically it required that the billing address and the mailing address to be the same. I called my credit card company and added a mailing address and it still wouldn't go through.. I don't want a big bumper to ship to my house.. I want it to ship to a business address! Mod's on the way!!! Here's what the car looks like now.


I'll do a before and after photo shoot. And of course, I'll lower the ride at the same time.

Great setup, your car is a little to close to curb don't you think

 

Brother I got skill! lol.. JUST KIDDING! It's not really that close. It's just the angle. I'm babying my rims so bad that my girlfriend is getting jealous.

 

Oh so... anyone from MD/DC/VA area. Which body shop should I take the Z to get paint job? I want someone that's good with color matching! The 03 is never garaged. I think the color's a little faded. Roughly, how much would it cost to paint the new bumper, side skirts and rear skirt and match with the original paint..? Does $1000 - $1300 sound resonable?

 

Went to the storage garage to look at the parts today... Here are some pics that I took. I can't wait to get them installed! Hopefully the winter will end soon. The JP side and rear skirts are extremely high quality. The aerosync front bumper.. hmm... it's alright. But it seems like it's super flexible. So that's always a plus.











Paint job is coming up soon!

 

damn! you ALREADY got it?

 

Everything looks good...except for the wheels, they look like siht, sell them to me.

 

many businesses won't allow any difference between billing and shipping address as a means to prevent credit card fraud.

looks promising, can't wait to see it all painted!

 

It should look good.

 

Why's everyone trying to scam my rims? lol...

 

I think those rims look good. how long untill its done? i wanna see what it looks like !!!

 

I've read numerous posts that the aerosync has much better quality than authentic. Any insight in describing them to be just "Alright"? I'm looking into the very bumper myself..

 

IMO the sides and rear are too agressive for the front... i dont think its gonna look right. hope you lower the car also.

 

Good job on the Aerosync. It is a quality bumper and once it is installed it won't seem so flimsy. You will be glad for the flexibility on the lower lip because no matter how hard you try you WILL scrape ever so often. I put a clear bra on mine a couple of days after painting and it looks as good as new each time I wash. I recommend the clear bra.

 

I want to know myself too! The biggest problem is to find a good shop and have to give up my daily drive (aka the Z) for a couple of days. I will also need to take a day off or so to go to the body shop. On top of that, I also I need to dish out like $1500 for the paint job. I just need to work out the detail and get it done. I think I'll need about 2 - 4 weeks to have it all done.

Lol... I'm sure it's good quality. The front bumper just looks so dirty and whimy without the paint. Don't take my "alright" comment for it. It's a great bumper. I've done enough research and nobody complained about it.

Nah man.... This combo has been done before and it looks SICK! I'm just being a copycat. Here are some pictures of what it'd look like on a DB. The front bumper is an authentic Nismo v1. But Aerosync is pretty much the same thing except it's not fiberglass. And hell yea I'm lowering the car!

 

once again, i think the wheels are sick but just not on your car. body kit isnt really gonna help it. its the silverstone. for some reason they just dont look right with gloss black S1's. i think you would be better off with some gunmetal GT-S's or Challenges but I hope I'm wrong. good luck

 

The wheels ARE sick.. that's leave it as that

 

Car should look great once you're done.

 

Hmm.. maybe it's just because I haven't seen the authentic Nismo V1 front bumper in person . The lip on the Aerosync looks a little thicker and doesn't stick out as much compared to the Nismo V1?

 

I'm thinking the sides and rear might be a bit much for the front bumper ... hope you prove me wrong!
