Default Mastergrade TS Diffuser finally installed (PICS)

Wanted to post some pics of my Z with the Mastergrade TS diffuser on it... I had bought it used without the mounting brackets, and it took 2 months to get them from Mastergrade through showstoppers and some other intermediary on the forums... but here's the finished product! Hope you like:











I've been wanting to do this combo for some time, but only saw it on a black 350z on this forum and couldn't really see it... because the Z was black.

Not feeling the rear underwings with the diffuser. I think the TS rear needs the two end pieces instead of the underwings. Rest of the car looks good! (Need to photoshop that Challenger out of your first pic).

i thinks its because on white it doesnt blend well,the white on the rest of the bumper is just drastic unlike on a black car it blends better with the cf

It's painted satin black over the CF weave btw, my GoPro HD Hero video-camera doesn't take great still photos.

your z would look better with just the diffuser w/ vortex and without the nismo addons imo.

I like the nismo rears and diffuser combo. I don't think they match the underwings though.

You need more aggressive sideskirts (still with some CF though to tie it together better)

What front bumper do you have? (or plan to go with?)

I think if you went with nismo (v2 or v3) front and sides and kept the 2 tone theme, it would look sweet.

I have the Nismo V2 front end, and there is NO carbon fiber on my car (the CF mastergrade diffuser is painted black).

I've been thinking of getting the nismo sideskirts and painting them white/black... mostly because the veilside underwings make it impossible to jack the car up without removing them, or having a special lift.

Chargespeed Bottomline skirts I think would make nice addition instead of the ones you have now. As for the rear diffuser.. I've always believed a moderate sized wing would do a better job of mixing in such a big diffuser. I have a V3 spoiler and was considering that particular diffuser.

The nismo fins, kill the look/flow of the Rear Diffuser.. It would look much better with the vortex generators..

the chargespeed bottom line setup would have complimented the sides and rear better imo... overall you've got a great look and setup.
