How was the fitment? What brand of rep did you go with?

Fitment is 85% -90% good, passes my threshold of acceptance (I have very high standards)

VIS REPLICA

The lines along the taillight fit nicely, trunk to bumper has a slightly larger gap then stick. Left side where rear quarter panel and new bumper meets doesn't make a perfect circle, but if that's all, I'm okay with it.

Used CS replica $285
Install/prep/paint/modify to install lights and plates $1000

The satisfaction of having the best rear bumper for the Z, priceless!

Thanks Mikey, I love the look too! As a designer by trade, I'm putting lots of thought into my work without having to sacrifice too much loot &

I'm assuming you have a Yamaha? Sick...I have a ZX6R.

Here in the Bay Area, million dollar homes are the avg, I'm an apt. Dweller, therefore I'll be going to a shop where you can use their lifts/tools etc. it'll be installed this Saturday. So I can't answer you on difficultly level without the lift cuz I'll be using one!

EDIT: haha u live in the Bay Area too! I'm going to Lift in Fremont. $45/hr, why a steal!

Mikey R6 Aug 13, 2015 09:25 PM

yah I had a track R6 and a street R1 and my wife had a street R6. we sold all 3 to buy our home. were in the south bay. I think I'm near Mic I'm at the 101/85 area.

Tanabe pro s-OC
Rear maxed out at 1.5, front at 1.25 with still .5" room to lower.
Attachment 390923

Assessment:
I definitely feel the road more, haven't had a chance for any spirited driving, but definitely feels lower. I wish the rear could go another .5", but it's maxed. Front is perfect.

NEXT ON THE DOCKET:
Paint door handles (I hate the silver)
Light coat of nightshade on rear taillights with clear coat
Carbon signal CF duck wing
chargespeed bottom line

I like the clear look, always have. It's clean. I'm a minimalist to the extreme!
