Get the front and sides asap or take off the rear until you do. IMO looks like one of those Zs that was bought used but half assed back to stock before the sale.

I completely disagree. I understand those that say adding the front and sides would look better than the rear alone (although I don't agree)..BUT.... You're saying it looks WORSE than stock unless I have the complete kit?

OK...I'm going to show this comparison:

INGS REAR SHOT with SIDES INCLUDED:



MY CAR:



COME ON NOW....do ya really think the sides are required here to make the rear *work*? Certainly the FRONT isn't, because you never see both at the same time!

OK..here's the front comparison:





I'm not really impressed with the front, since it looks slapped on..no matter how good it's mounted and painted. Side skirts are a possibility though.
Like I said..I don't want this to start looking like a *kit car*!. The rear looks slapped on to some extent (but worth it) .... adding more slap ons just makes this effect more obvious.
Hey..one man's meat is another's poison.
Thanks for the input.

So what you can do is get it fabricated to the front. Even bondo and sand to "shave" the lines to make it look like a kit.

You need to do exactly what the white car has done!!! This is prob. the lease kit car looking "kit" you can put on. This or the Wald kit. I think I am pushing you because I always wanted this done Its OEM looking. As mentioned its your car. I am sure you will take car of her

And you do see both front and rear at the same time. A full side shot. The bottom line of your car will be rising from the rear to the front. If you add just the front lip you would be much better off.

Guessing cause its not the norm as most people start at the front and work their way back but you do need a front to compliment the rear.
How retarded would it be to just slap a nismo v3 rear on and leave the rest stock cause you dont see the front
I do agree the sides help but are not 100% necessary.
The ING front is one of the best imo.
think the problem you are having is you are using examples that aren't well executed although that white one isnt bad.

I would totally have sex with the black car.....

I had the opposite take...the rear screams out for refinement, as it abruptly cuts off high up and exposes the muffler.
I really think I can get away with just the rear here...this isn't a *Nismo V3 rear*! The INGS is much more subtle and tame..it doesn't cry out *RACE CAR*.





Don't get me wrong...INGS front isn't bad at all. It's just that I really think the more you add on..... the more likely the car will look *kitted* out. The pics you show are nice, but I still think the front tends to accent the *tacked on look*....more so than the rear. I guess this all comes down to taste and mine is conservative.
If I get a front lip it wil prolly be this V1 in a knock off:

wont argue the subtleness of the ing vs the nismo v3...just that the front does deserve equal attention as the rear.
I do like the ing rear as I had the wald style which is similar imo.
I have gone with the Veilside style front lip myself.

lol @ having sex with the black car (get in line)

You need something up front. Stock front with that rear just looks odd.

Here's my *problem* with the front....EXPOSURE to chips..cracks..hitting driveways..etc. I really want a URETHANE one, but only the INGS knock off and Vizage S type come with this.
V1 types for 06+ are all fiberglass/CF.

Don't fear the FRP. Smashing into parking curbs or driveways will mess up any lip, Urethane or otherwise. Nothing is indestructible. You could always buy genuine Ings+ in Hybrid, or the C-West in PFRP (C-West wouldnt match though).
As for rock chips and stuff, 3m Clear Bra.

Check it, C-West PFRP

They're saying the same thing I am, just with more sugarcoating. How many people rock just a rear lip? A rear half bumper add-on at that. There's a reason for it. It's your car do what you want, but remember this forum helps you clean up your car by letting you know the truth.

im normally not a fan of tinted tails, but on the red it looks good. seperates the lights and adds contrast.

you do need a full kit, and id opt to make the lower valence "diffuer" portion black as well.

iTrader: (1)

Yeah..I thought about painting it black in the inner rear between the tips. Not sure about doing tis though.

Here is comparison..forgive the crappy *photoshop*



As far as lights..I am switching to lighter tint.
As far as full kit...I have decided to go with side skirts next..but not the INGS. I wanted something that wouldn't stand out or be too bulky and I found these...JP Vizage S Type . I'm NOT GETTING THE FRONT LIP..ONLY THE SIDES.

Meh sides... If those are the sides then I would do the visage front. Should look good.
+1 on the lower section black on the rear.

looks good. like the ings rear and might get it myself but will check first if my friend can handle a clean mold to my bumper. can you get away with just the rear and must have a full body kit? to me it's a matter of preference/choice but you got plenty of good suggestions here. took off your emblems & did the mold to give you an idea. i debagged mines and had the entire hatch repainted. i'm going with a amuse sides and the front i still haven't decided. car looks good but like said i'm not a fan of tinted lights.

lambo latino. love the wings on the front Z emblem hahaha.
