Default Add Stillen Wing & CF CW Lip to White 07 Roadster?

Here are some recent pictures I took, I already have the carbon finer seibon cw front lip and a painted stillen type 1 wing, still debating if i "need" them or not. My car is a daily driver so I would assume I would trash that cf lip, the last two pics are used as reference

I think the wing is a good choice. As for the lip: possibly, but not that one. I've never been a fan on lips like that without a body kit to compliment them - sort of throws off the natural flow of the car and can give the it somewhat of a snow shovel look. If you really want to pursue the CF lip concept, what I might recommend over that is something like this:



That way, you still get that carbon fiber tie-in with the hood, avoid the snow shovel effect, and don't have to worry about damaging the lip like you mentioned earlier. I realize you already have the other CF lip, but it's just a thought. Your car is gorgeous, btw. Awesome pics.

that lip is a bit overkill. think the ing+1 lx sport front lip would look good on your car + the ings+1 lx sport sideskirts as well.
and a shorty antenna too

now that I look at your car again - the front rear & sides of the ings kit should go on your car. get rid of the front and rear mudguards.

the stillen wing is BIG...lip is too aggressive to be alone, I agree with Onagao on the subtle lip.

I have to agree with most everyone else in here. Wing will look good. But I feel like the CW lip is too angular to be by itself. I'm not even a big fan of the complete CW kit in carbon. I actually bought a CW when I first got the car because I liked it in pictures I saw, but in person, it was just too much.

Thanks for the info guys and the compliments, has anyone had expierence putting on the wing? I guess the thing that scares me most is that it has no direct screws, its just double sided tape that I have to get from somewhere. Ya I think most of you are right on the lip it was more of an impulse buy and then has been sitting in the shed in the wrapper for about 8 months now. As far as the "shorty antenna" Im assuming you guys are talking about the s2000 antenna?

Yeah, that one is. I think there might be others that you can purchase elsewhere that replace that piece entirely, but I just found the first one I could to illustrate the concept for you. Here's the actual link to the product itself:

No problem. You're clearly headed in the right direction already with your car. Glad I could help out

Throw it on the classifieds, should sell quick. dont buy 3m tape from a store, go to a body shop and ask, the **** they use seems to be 600x more sticky, I paid $35 for a 50' roll. And its black not grey. They get the good **** i guess.. haha

I totally agree with this suggestion.... Especially on a white z it really makes that grill look mean and hungry for air. Had similar on my brickyard z and it really enhanced the front for a fraction of the cost of a lip plus no worries of effing it up.

The lip by itself and without the full kit looks very awkward.

The stillen spoiler came with a very good bonding 3m tape. I had the spoiler on mine for 2 yrs now no problem at all just find a good body shop to do the install. Good luck keep us updated.

could go with the s2k or some people get the acura rdx antenna, i believe that there was a little difference in the base size of the antenna with it matching up - I could be thinking a different antenna people tried though.
I got the perrin 4" like below. fits great. i didnt get mine from that site and I dont remember it being so much, maybe the price has gone up since.
