looks like you cant lower the car anymore. the body kit is already almost scraping the ground in the front. or is that just me? :/

That looks great! The 1st one I would want on my 08. How about some specs or stats. Name of bumper, where you got it, price, price to paint and install, etc.....
Also can you take a pic on the street? Can you fit your fist under that bumper lip?

Everything else looks good with the exception of the GTR bumper. I think it looks hideous on a Z........

GTR bumper on a Z = Z with identity crisis

I don't think it looks bad...but being able to see all the lines and details on the front really makes it look compressed. The GTR has thinner "squinty" headlights and it helps balance out the size of the front. If it makes any sense, your Z's headlights are normal and larger compared to the bumper.

I think for it to balance out and make the bumper look larger in comparison to the wide eyed lights, you need to add some black to contrast and cover up some of the fronts details. My 2 cents.

Default bring those rays out..

If you want to keep the rays I'd put some spacers on. Would give it a wider stance. Give the car a little more attitude....at least I think it helped mine..

I say get some different sides if you're gonna keep the bumper. They don't flow well with the front. Have you done anything to the rear?

Yeah, or at least go with a k11 type paint to set it off. If you're going to do the faux-gtr thing you might as well go 100%.

The kit doesn't look bad. Just a little busy.
