If you decide to only get the front lip, I would suggest at least some mud guards to help the sides and rear even out. The V1 is subtle enough that the Z does not need extra sideskirts/rears.

FRP Paint Matched to keep it clean. Once you add the Carbon your gonna have to add more to make it work. I have it paint matched and it does not look out of place, having it stick out in Carbon or Black will look out of place IMO. Besides your gonna scrape the crap out the bottom of it anyway. Would suck if you paid that much more to get it in carbon.

From personal experience, I would say go CF.

Even if you scrape everywhere (like I did) the lip holds up very well.

I have FRP in black un-painted. But my car is a dark color so it works. I would do CF on your car because it's a light color. I never really liked the look of the lip painted to match the color of the car honestly..





The GT2 has a flat black lip stock (not that my car is anything like a GT2 obviously) but I like the look of a black lip is all I'm sayin...

get the CF and paint the sides to match the car. Looks clean and adds CF to the deal. win/win situation.

damn unfortunately this lip will not clear my driveway incline. Yes i know how to angle my a$$ off but my driveway is too damn steep.

Lip was purchased couple days ago and has some minor scratches underneath that cannot be seen. If your interested pm me. i will make a forsale thread soon with pics of it installed on my ride.
