Thanks, do you know if it's in good shape and how I could get a hold of the seller?

Side skirts are a must if you're running a aftermarket bumper or lip IMO. Having just the front lip isn't enough unless you are hella'dumpt... ofcourse all this is subjective and everyone got their opinion on this.

Well looks like I'm getting an Amuse Type 02 rear spoiler wing! I'll deal with a front lip, but this item is an awesome piece. Thanks to Mr. Sparco for helping me contact the seller in Cali.! *wing is like the yellow one earlier in this thread that I posted a pic of (yellow car); this one is gloss black.

You got a fantastic deal on a rare authentic piece. Was always one of my favorite ever since I saw it on Finalforce's car, something to work towards. Once you see it on your car, you'll need other aero pieces to complete the look.

Thanks again Mr. Sparco! The seller like you said is a sharp, classy guy from the bay area in Cali.; he called me again today, my check was sent Mon. and he's getting the part bubble wrapped. It looks great in the pics and if needed I'll get some touch up/clear done before custom install! You are correct, this wing/spoiler is rare and anything from Amuse is top quality jdm parts. This type 02 wing was purchased from Bulletproof (awesome site) and have been in touch with them regarding the Varis front lip and Canards which are an awesome combo $$!

I want to do more of the aero stuff; got some home projects to get going on, but as a single guy what comes first, home or Z? I'll try to slow down a bit, but thanks again for hooking me up with a wing/spoiler that actually "does work" as far as down force on the rear (some are just for show). I look forward to getting this installed; the black should be just what the Dr. ordered. *the car you posted is a true beauty!

I think the OP may have possibly already decided on a wing.

It's a bigcountrylabs wing and it's all one piece bumper just painted gunmetal on bottom. It's an AIT kit I think

Just curious, I have a stock bumper cover with the 2 vertical reflectors (mine are smoked out). Do you guys think that these Varis canards would be an install problem with those reflectors? I'll contact bulletproof, but just wondered if somebody alread knew? *cool looking functional canards! It's just that the bumper in their pic has no stock reflectors.

*Here is the front lip I'm looking at frp or cf ($300 more):

Im pretty sure all of the links you posted had the corner lights still in if I can see it right.
And if you're considering an authentic carbon fiber lip, go with Top Secret. Thats what I have on mine and it lookss great and functions as a belly pan as well

+1 to Top Secret, one of the best front lips out there.

I've got the FRP Varis Arising I lip and love it. Fitment was spot on and just like the TS, very few people have it, which is a plus in my book.

Thanks guys^! Yeah, I looked at the Top Secret on the bulletproof site and it is a beauty no doubt. One question for you both, is install quite easy with either of these? I ask in regard to my stock bumper cover and Zspeed aluminum undershroud; does the lip install cause any issues for fitment on stock bumper cover/metal undershroud, etc.? Never bought a lip before and just want to get a mental picture of how these lips actually attach and where for strength, etc. Do they bolt into the row of undershroud holes/bolts? Thanks

I didn't have any issues with mine and I have the Zspeed undershroud as well. The lip does bolt into the shroud and I actually have the shroud sitting on top of the lip, if that makes sense. Another way to look at it would be to say that the lip is kind of supporting the front part of the shroud, even though it doesn't need it to.

I bought my Z with the TS lip on it but I have taken it on and off probably about 5 times now. Its very easy, just goes underneath and bolt into various spots (Im sure it mounts the same way the Varis one does that a barclay has). And I know the TS lip has a little door that is on the lip that makes it super easy to change oil. In the picture you can see the door is held on with 2 screws
