Default Looking for a front lip ('08 base)

I'm looking for a front lip to mount on my '08 base (carbon silver), and since I'm only a one-month Z-owner, I don't know any of the various options. I do know that some parts don't fit all years. I just ordered an Evo-R Blitzz for the rear, so I'd like something in that style. More subtle than ricey/extreme, if you know what I mean. If you guys have any pics of your own cars you can share, that would be great, and please mention the specific source for the part and approx cost. Thanks in advance,

Dean

I've got the entire front cover from an 08 Nismo that interests you. It's red so you would have to paint it.

Thanks, but the Nismo nose is a bit more extreme than I'm looking for, both on appearance and cost, especially after a strip/repaint. I'll bet you get some other interest, though.

The Veilside looks nice, I'll have to give that one some serious thought - thanks.

Quick question, is there any visual difference between the 03-05 veilside/mines lip vs 06-08 ones? Reason i ask is i hate the 03 grill and love the 06 ones. I do not want to pay for 06 bumper or repaint if i can just get the 03 lip and remove the grill. Suggestions?

Also whats the difference between veilside and mines lip?
Thanks!

Im going after this front end without the grill. U guys think it would look good w/o the grill and front license plate?

They LOOK the same (early model vs. later model), but they have different dimensions.

the mines is actually alot more $$$ then the veilside i believe. the only difference i see is the stamp in the middle. i think the mines is exclusively carbon fiber as well as opposed to the v1 which you can get in CF,FRP,orr poly

JPE22- the 06-08 lips will not fit an 03-05 bumper and vice versa,you can get the 03-05 lip and remove the factory grill all the same.
