Question New look to the z...got a couple of Q's though!

So expecting a new set of wheels and a Seibon CF hood next week...also I'm taking off my JP Type A front bumper...it's about to fall apart and I'm gonna throw back on the OEM front bumper..

However, i never did like the non-aggressiveness of the OEM bumper...is there anything i can do to spice it up a bit? I was thinking about the Seibon CF CW lipkit...but even with that still seems like it's lacking something...any other ideas that i could throw on the OEM bumper? Thanks all...and yes i did search lol

sry I am not a lip kit kind of a guy but why not just get a new after market bumper? Just don't get the V1,V2 of both and V3 of Veilside and the Amuse. Anything else is good but adding something original is golden.

Well the Seibon lip kit i just ordered went for about 300$ shipped and theres no need to paint..OEM bumper ands the lipkit are durable...Fiberglass aftermarket bumper + paint + clearbra + installation + crappy material = same position im in now...and Urethane is just way too pricey...I'm asking i have an OEM bumper, just purchased a Seibon CF CW lipkit, is there anything else i can add to the bumper?

You can add canards all over your OEM bumper. That should give it some aggressiveness.

I am also 100 percent against non-aggressiveness.

I like the durability of the OEM front..my Fiberglass gave me 3 good years but warping stress cracks and chips make it look terrible now i wanna just throw it away since i cant sell it...I may go with canards anyplace sell them for decent prices?

Add the VeilSide Version 1 front lip. It's just enough to make the stock bumper look awesome, but not too much to make it look goofy.
