Brushed. I would only use the vacuum bag on a mold which I have not made yet.
I planned on running Kevlar flat bottoms below the side skirts and possibly making a kevlar rear diffuser. However, I'm not sure if I really like the Nismo replica front lip. I may order either a different one, or get the Nismo V2 and work on that with Kevlar.
At first I was against doing 2x2 twill carbon fiber, but I may end up going that route. We shall see. I was going to make the flat bottoms in both Kevlar hybrid and then in Carbon Fiber and see which I like more.

EDIT: Oh, and about the stance - the only thing that will void my current warranty is suspension work. I will continue to collect the parts for once my warranty runs out, but until then, it's staying stock height. I may end up ordering the Nismo LMGT4s, but with +12 & +15 offset rather than the +25 & +30 that are on there now.

That gas station looks like it's out near MAM.

So after much debate, and A LOT OF WORK, I'm removing all of the Kevlar items from my Z. Everything is being changed out for Carbon Fiber and Brickyard paint. I'll run the "N1" front lip for the time being, but will start getting to work on getting a new Z Bar cover and selling the one I have as well as the front lip, dash, and console. I do like the combination of brickyard and kevlar, but moving forward, I want more flow.
I know LOTS of people said to go with carbon fiber, but to each their own. It's called trial and error. hahaha
