Default Need Help Identifying Front Lip

What lip is this and is it available or is a quality replica of it available? From my research it looks like a Nismo lip but I also read that they are no longer available?

I want a simple lip that doesn't lower the front very much at all and doesn't look like a snow plow. This one is perfect but I can't locate it.

please use search.

EDIT: OOPS that's an 03-05 front bumper and the Nismo front lip is available all over the place. The 03-05 Nismo front lip usually sticks out more drastically giving the "snow plow" look than the 06-08

FAIL 06-08 bumpers have different reflectors, and a different grill piece.

Simple way to look at it, 03-05 (3 grill pieces), 06-08 (2 grill pieces)

you SIR need to use the search function

OP, that lip is the ebay front lip. Look on ebay for "03-04 350z front lip" and it will pop up. Price come out to under $100 shipped. They also sell same lip for 06-08 350z.

The front bumper is stock and the lip IS NOT nismo.

Maybe that's enough. My bumper isn't that high off the ground. I just want a "sweeping the street" look.

Thanks for the replies.

I did use the search function quite a bit and have been reading threads for nearly two hours.

Please show me where an authenic Nismo front lip is available "all over the place?"

BTW...this is for a 2008 roadster and I need the lip to be urethane.

Found it on Ebay with pics showing it painted silver (my color) and it sticks out too far. It did not look bad in the darker colors. Not what I want.

The Nismo looked perfect as far as not hanging too low and definitely not sticking out too far. I'll keep looking.

I think you're looking for the kind of lip that the Aerosync has.

I know that, I'm just saying thats the size of a lip he's looking for. Not one that protrudes out too much like some of the ebay ones he found.

Ok my bad but the front bumper is deceptively lower than it looks.

If your still looking for something, check out the stollen front splitter. Just order mine the other night. I made a thread with a lot of pics of it on cars, it should still be front page. GL finding what you're looking for!

Thanks for the tip on the Stillen. The more I read about it the more I see it is more of a "functional splitter and not a cosmetic lip so to speak.

The Veilside V1 lip looks nice but is fiberglass. O well...will keep my eyes open.
