Hi guys, I know im new to the Z game, been with volkswagens for YEARS now and tired of that show scene. My latest VW for reference

Just picked up my Z a week or so ago, its an 05' and looking to make it to the same standards. But, what front bumper is this? Or, lip.

I know it looks like a Vizage Type S lip which is only available for the 06+ but his z is a 03'. Please any input is appreciated. Also, I have understand I can swap the 06' front bumper on, then put that lip on. But his bumper doesnt have the Z emblem whole anymore, so it makes me wonder if its a completely different bumper as i dont see alot of Z guys shaving there bumpers. Again, thanks.

No no, i understand his paint is custom. But, even the reflector holes dont look as big as the 06+ ones. Just wanting too see if theres some other way other than getting the 06+ bumper and lip, didnt know if there was a COMPLETE bumper or just an 03-05 visage type s lip.

Its definitely not an 03-05. You can see the brackets where the grill inserts should go. The 03-05 doesnt have this option, theyre built in. If one were to cut out the grill of an 03-05 all you would have left is an empty space.

trying to find better pics, but that's what was readily available on my photobucket. trust me that's a 06+ bumper with the emblem shaved.

Thanks everyone for the great help, and no im positive its a vizage. The "front" part of the lip, is very minuscule compared to the c-west and ings lips.

BTW, there is a good reference that someone made for all the available exterior parts for the Z:
