Can anyone tell me which Voltex Front bumper is in the wind tunnel and if there are any front shots available? If you look closely, the front bumpers are not the same. The one in wind tunnel is NOT a long nose, but has the same triangular front lip as the long nose plus the added front canards.

I've always loved the Voltex kit, but driving with that bumper on a lowered Z on city streets pretty much bites.

So far there is only one front bumper that Voltex makes for the z33, soon to be two obviously. The one that we sell is the same as the one being tested in the wind tunnel the canards are also available but are optional.

Prices Here:

Here is another shot of the car that I posted from a similar angle as the wind tunnel shot (This is the same car in all of these photos except for the new ones being posted of the new kit being developed.)

I'm corrected then.

It just looks from the side shot that the long nose isn't as long as others "long nose kits" out there. This wouldn't be too bad for street driving and still gives a nice sleek look to the whole car.

Does anyone know if the hood will work on an 07-08?

There's a peak in the center top of the Voltex front bumper which follows through into the Voltex hood which basically forces you buy the hood so the lines match up.
