Default 370z Amuse Vestito-style front bumper on a 350Z

Hey guys, I know this has been discussed somewhere along time ago.. but I have never seen another 350z with this bumper on.

I just got mine painted and I installed it today. Fitment was not that bad for fiberglass to be honest.

Let me know what you guys think

I think it looks good, sideskirts would make it flow a lot better though

You need a lot more to make that work... at least it's not a GTR front bumper.

06+ Headlights
Aggressive Wheels/Stance
GT Mirrors
Do luck Fenders
Nismo v3 Spoiler
Aggressive Side skirts

Already got 08 Headlights coming in... Looking at the v3 spoiler, I would have to cut out the middle ridge lol

I am already running a good amount of spacers, but will be getting coils next.

Probably will go with a lip for the rear and sides

Not a fan of the bumper.Maybe with a full body kit it would look better.
Its on your car.What to do since your car is very "front heavy".
Skirts...yes,yes.Any type would help the flow.Even some Shine Spec-S whic are
basically a trim skirt would do.I got them on my Z.Very conservative,they "lower" the look of a stock suspension car.Since you have a pretty aggressive bumper,skirts
with some angles would be better.I'd think you would also need some rear add-ons too.
Nismo style?

Finally someone who doesn't get a nismo style bumper like 80% of the cars here, you definitely need aggressive side skirts to make it work

Yes I agree it is very front heavy, but I wanted to be a bit different lol...

I am looking into the voltex side skirts and I like them very much, thanks for the suggestions.

I need a rear bumper that will let me "show off" my top speed exhaust...

Not bad but definitely needs more than the front bumper to pulloff effectively

It's not that it looks like a 370z bumper, this is lifted off the amuse bumper for the 370z.

The voltex rear is gonna work just fine.

It prob gonna cost $2-2.5k for the parts
Alone, but at least you'll have a show stopper.

After that you can address wheels, headlights,
Etc.

Those Voltex skirts do seem to go with your front bumper.Maybe too many
curves& swirls angled duct etc.Possibly a skirt with a duct before the real wheel well would be a better choice.
