Personally, I think the 350Z would look worlds better with a front lip (apparently sometimes referred to as a half-spoiler). I think it would look good paired with a Stillen Type 1 spoiler.


Poking around on japanparts.com, there seem to be quite a few. Which of these do you like? (Pics are linked from the site, and prices are rough approximations from the site, variation due to different materials. I am not affiliated with japanparts.com and I have no idea how good/bad they are. Hope they don't mind ).

I'm diggin the Veilside and the C-west. And the kei office, whatever that is. Veilside is urethane, C-west is FRP, PFRP or CFRP (not sure...guessing fiberglass, ??, carbon fiber), and Kei office is FRP.

Nismo, incl bumper $765


C-West $267-512




kei office (?) entire bumper. I think it looks pretty sweet. Not only that, this is the color combo and wheels I want (PPW w/ bronze TE37s. ANyone want to PS a Stillen wing on there?). $660


Prim@ru (?) $680


Trust $230


Veilside $385

 

you can get the urethane veilside for 280 shipped from Matix. I got mine elsewhere unfortunately, but paid just a tiny bit more.

 

That Kei-Office is looking sweeeeter everytime i see it. Not too low and the rear is nice and flowing with the Z lines. If i had the money now I would get the sides+rears. I already bought the Veilside lip.

2003z,,,ur car is looking better everytime..especially those headlights

 

how much did the veilside lower your front ground clearance ?

 

I think it was about an inch or so....

 

Hey 2003Z,

Do you have a phone number for Matix? Or is it MatRix?
$280 shipped is definitely the best price out there.

 

Matix is a member/screen-name here. IIRC he's with Bulletproof Motorsports.

 

Gimme a call at 909-775-5702

 

What about StyleKing replica? we have it in stock ($229)!

 

How does the Veilside get attached to the car....I am thinking of buying one but I dont see how you could attach it.....

 

I believe it attaches with double sided tape and a few screws

 

Can someone decipher the material codes: FRP, PFRP, CFRP.

I'm guessing fiberglass reinforced plastic, ????, and carbon fiber reinforced plastic?

Can CF be painted? What is the finish like? i.e., will it match the finish of the body or will you see the weave throught the paint?

 

my veilside just attached with 4 screws that are found under the factory bump, in front of the wheel wells. You can feel them with your hand. But it may be different cause I have the CF version.

 

pfrp=poly fibegalss reinforced plastic, its like a cross between urethane and fiberglas...CF can be painted, it's laminated, so once its painted you wont even be able to tell it's CF, it will match the finish of the body.

 

no its the same on mine too and mine is urethane. just the two screws on each side (4 total) and double stick tape along the center portion.

 

Thanks. Which material is the best for the front lip application? I would assume something that would flex a bit (for the inevitable scrape), such as urethane. So I would think FRP would be a bad idea, and I don't know about CF. But will PFRP flex?

 

PFRP would be the best choice, it is pretty close to urethane, and it is pretty flexible. CF is ok too since it is stronger than FRP, so it can withstand a little bit more than FRP could without cracking. Please let me know if you have any ohter questions, or if you'd be interested in ordering anything and I can personally help you out with anything.

yeah..... I will recommand you to go with PFRP... as they are just like the original plastic... VERY flexible... and it will not crack! I think the C-West lip looks really nice, I have seen the full C-west car in person and it is just SWEET!

cheers,

richie

 

2003z: What kinda wheels do you have? Wheel & tire size? What about your rear spoiler? Sorry for all the questions but your car looks so impressive!!!

 

My daytona blue stillen front lip spoiler is made of flexible urethane and I'm selling it for $220 shipped at the classified section. Let me know if anyone is interested. I plan on getting the whole bumper but can't decide which one to get.
