Default $10??

it cost me $6.34 AFTER taxes.
10 bucks is too high an estimate. i was able to go and fill up on dollar menu stuff from wendy's.
AND i still have some change.......($0.08)

i would rather spend 2g's on the turbo rather then a bumper.
but that bumper does look good. but still 2-4g's is a tad bit too much dont u think?

i mean come on.......its a bumper.........
does it drive for u?
does it comfort u when youve had a bad day?

speaking of which the nav does all of that for me
almost any way.

"please make a left in....1/4 of a mile..............................left turn ahead.........................look at everyone staring at your car..."

ok so it doesnt say that last one, but i've noticed it. its sick....sick.

That chrome grille idea is magic. I'll def be clipping on some to c what it looks like on a platinum silver beast. It matched the headlight jewellery perfectly.

I also like the way mysunset350z has wrapped it around the edges, looks even better, but question....r they extra pieces on the edges or the one stripe bent around????

As to the Nismo bumper/kit....i think the Z is one of few cars that doesnt lend itself well to kits and other over the top adornments (boot spoliers, etc). The shape is too flowing to upset with sill extensions, not to mention the rice factor......to each their own. My Track version has that little boot lip and i cant stand it. Im scared if i try to remove it, the paint will b scratched or damaged underneath. I do like those Volk alloys tho, but im waiting for a set of 20" Zenetti Mystiks.

they're sperate extra pieces. those stripes dont like bending at that sharp of an angle.
had to cut them at a sharp taper.
took some time to get it right, but worth the end look.

if u get the cuts to fit close enough together it'll look like its 1 big custom piece.

no problems yet. not even on detroit roads. all the pieces still hanging on

Thumbs up nice.

I had heard about this elsewhere and was skeptical, but damnit, it looks good! I'm going to try it out on my DB.

Love those ghetto upgrades!

Cool grill treatment

Great idea...bought some on the way home tonite...picking up my car in Am...other than my BO seats it will be my first mod. I must say that this simple and inexpensive $6 mod has a very nice effect. I spoke to one of the people at auto supply store who said he had same stuff on his race car door edges and it stays on at 130 mph with no problems. Gotta wait till its 65 degrees out though to install. The way this spring has been around here that may not be till June.

I wasn't sure if chrome would look good on silverstone, so I bought the black edge guard, and spray-painted it silver to match my car color. I originally cut small pieces for the vertical fins on the grill, but have since removed those, as those little pieces tended to fall off during washing. (One piece had fallen off when I took this pic)

Agg, can you post a picture of it at like a side view angle showing the grill and most of the car.


What I really I want to see is a picture of it not so close, thanks.
