First if you have the money go for a TS/mastergrade rear diffuser it looks awesome for a dual setup like this. If you don't then just tuck the damn thing. Just make sure all your rear bushings are ok. it looks like sh*t. believe me I've been there hah.

Your current ride does not have any bodykit so a bumper tuck will make it look clean. Go for it.

TS Mastergrade is way to aggressive for my taste, at least without an aggressive lip kit to go with it. I've gone round and round trying to talk myself into a Do Luck 4pc kit but the more I think about it the more I wanted to keep it clean. Veilside front lip may be all I'll do.

PLZ never go with Do-luck unless it's an authentic kit. I have seen it on a local
z. thing looks UGLY fitment is trash. and if you want to save your self some $$.
go with a good looking lip kit/CS add-on sides "maybe"/add-on rear stuff.
you have multiple choices all over the market just try to look up stuff at the
photo album of the site to get an idea of what you have in mind.

It's only zip ties so it's not very expensive:

I'll do it once winter ends. The Veilside front lip is going on for sure. Possibly a set of Ings+1 Nspec side skirts if I can find something for the rear.

Side note about tucking:

Ive considered doing it when I get a nicer exhaust but how exactly do you tuck it? I know you just mentioned zip ties but where do you attach it on the bumper and to what under the car? And if you dont like the way it looks can you just undo it and without damage to the bumper or paint?

But then if you decide you want you untuck your bumper you will have 3 holes in that piece. And by drilling through the bumper wouldn't the paint start to chip overtime around those holes?

Dont worry we will get you counseling
Just out of curiosity, what did you replace your Z with?

And if I tucked my bumper would bending that piece up and 3M taping it cause the paint to get weaker at the crease? I tried to make that as comprehendible as possible

if it was painted correctly then it should have flex additive in the paint, i did mine without issues, no cracking. i wonder if you can heat it up some, like when you roll fenders, to make is little more plyable
