Been doing some work on the Z over the last few weeks. Recent changes include the install of the Voltex sides, painted door handles, removed the rear wiper, installed the Aerocatch hood pins, and installed the diffusers in the rear bumper ( not to be confused with the Voltex diffuser installed under the rear bumper ). Still waiting on my wing so try to imagine the Veilside wing...not there.
I've never seen the LighterFaster diffusers on the Z before, but maybe I've missed it. Looking for opinions, positive or negative.

 

Can you elaborate on the new diffusers? Are they functional?

I love everything else, just not feeling those.

 

You car looks sick..but I have a few disgressions. I think it would look a lot more clean without the front bumper canards. Also, that rear diffuser is sick but if the sides were flush instead of that gap it would be amazing. Not to big of a fan of those cf gasket looking things below the reverse lights, looks like they don't do anything and out of place. Other that I think your ride is sick, and I wouldn't change the spoiler IMO.

 

I love everything but the back. Yeah not feeling the three holes on the bumper thing. I've seen those on honda civics and while I do believe they serve a purpose, looks ugly as hell and takes away the clean look. I mean are you Michael Schumaker where you need to eek out every last once of advantage? Kinda silly.

 

Love the ride all around except the back. I'm not a huge fan of the Voltex, but it does make it look a lot more aggressive, I wouldn't put it, but I have nothing against it on the car.

The three holes on the rear bumper seems like it does make things seem a little excessive/crowded in the rear, it would look cleaner without it imo. The spoiler/diffuser/exhaust/etc. all looks good though. Overall nice car!

 

Yeah, it's not for everyone. They are functional however. I mean, it's not like I'm Michael Shumaker or anything, but I've always been a fan of parts that work. I've seen the vehicles that cut out the holes in the back but have always been uneasy about cutting out my own. These clean it up quite a bit, and they are real carbon fiber pieces, not just an overlay.

 

nice Z but the rear holes g2g imo

 

Dude, put some rocket launchers in those holes or oil slick. Do something that James Bond would do.

 

what do the holes in the back do? im confused... nice car btw!

 

Think it is so the air that comes up in the rear goes out via the holes instead of causing resistance.

 

Thanks for the response.

Is there an air inlet to allow them to diffuse air from? I'm just curious that's all.

 

The inlet is the insider of the back bumper scooping up air moving under the car.

When you have the rear spoiler on, even more air will be suck up through there.

I personally like the rear diffuser. How hard is it to remove and put back on?

 

Really? That's cool.

 

I see quite a few hardcore drag racing Hondas with the holes in their rear bumpers and always wondered what that would look like on my Z. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I'm not a fan of the Voltex stuff, but I like what you've done with your Z. Function over form FTMFW!

 

Seems like people don't like the rear, but it's the front that throws it off for me. I love the Chargespeed bumper, just not with that combo. The Chargespeed bumper just seems to rounded w/ rounded edges to compliment the edges of the Voltex pieces. Needs an SBC.

 

i love it all aroound. The difuser is the dickens.

 

Love the Voltex sides/diffuser, hate the holes..

 

I wish I never saw this, now I have to drill holes in my bumper. LOL

 

what rear do you have? And did you cut the holes yourself?

 

theres a little too much going on there but good work or all our cars would look the same. imo you should of painted the handles black to go with the canards and mirrors and also looks like you should have black side skirts because of the rear diffuser and dark wheels like theres something missing in the middle blk handles would help.
