Your car looks proper the way it is, i wouldn't even consider a wing.

Both nice touches IMO.
Nismo v2 is my personal favorite bumper and I'm a huge fan of the varr LM reps.

Good job man, looks great.
Don't add the wing though, it won't look good.

Keep it like it is, if I were you I would get coilovers and put money into performance upgrades. But the wheels and V2 look great.

Car looks good but definitely needs some sideskirts, I just hope those aren't BBS center caps on Varrstoens

Thanks for the compliments guys. I guess I'll pass on the v1, I was always on the fence about it. I have the nismo rear add ons, and I'm trying to get my friend at nissan to get me a good price on the skirts. Those are definitely on the list. I'm on tein s-techs at the moment, don't know if I want to go any lower to be honest.

And yes yes those are bbs center caps. Unfortunately I couldn't stand the not having any caps and the ones they came with were ugly. But I don't hesitate to tell people they are replicas. Something I can easily live with.

Don't do the wing.
Since you have the Nismo add ons and the Shine
bumper,check out the Shine Spec-S skirts.They
are basically a straight trim piece that attach to the same bolts as the OEM
skirts.Holes are predrilled.Come in CF&FG.Pretty inexpensive.Will lower the
line of your Z to match the bumper &rear add ons.I've got e'm on my car.
You will have about 1.5" less clearance to the ground.Can't tell from the pic
if you have OEM mud guards...probably not if you put on the rear add ons.
If you left e'm on the front,they will need to be removed to install the skirts.

The rear add ons are on the car, you just can't see them due to the angle.

I have mudguards on the front though. Do you have pics of your car so I can see the skirt? Would appreciate it.

V1 would look good , V2 is probably more functional but I just dont like the look. Stillen lip spoiler , IMO would be perfect.

^^ I had the two indentations on the front filled in the event I ever get a different hood. That being said.. 600 dollars, seeing extra prep had to be done to get the surface super smooth. Not bad. And the fitment was perfect. Praise Shine.
