Thumbs up A new look for Bat(PICS)

Ok, finally some pics of the latest incarnation of my ride. I chose the Veilside V1 Lip in urethane. I left thew centerpart unpainted to tie in with the grill. This is a nice lip, not too extreme, yet enough of a difference to notice it. I went with the Nismo Replica Kit from Performance Nissan(Thanks Jason and Jeff!). It's a nice quality fiberglass kit that fits much better than the origional one they were carrying, ask Jeff . I know alot of you are waiting for the Genuine Nismo one, but this a great replica for the $$. Should the Genuine Nismo Kit ever make it to our shores, I don't know if I'd switch over to that. We'll see how well mine holds up.

Overall, I'm pleased with the look. Both kits go really well together and stay true to the lines of the Z. Next on the list, wing? I'm looking at either the Veilside 2 or Vertex one. Both low and sleek, the way I like it . Oh, big brake kit is is the works as well! Enjoy the pics, I'll post more later .

Wow, this was back in October:

Coming along really nice, but I think it looks better as it is now without a big huge wing.

very nice....you have my vote for vertex wing over the version 2...i love the v2 but its not as subtle as you think...its more of a wing that would get mixed opinions..vertex is too subtle for ppl not to like (unless they like gigantic)

I have to get that lip (how much are they with painted??) and maybe even side skirts (how much are those painted as well??).

I like the smaller wing or NO wing, but that is just me I guess. Lookin good BAT.

btw, how much do the S-Techs lower your car??

Talk to Jason at Performance, he can give you a good deal. *** far as wing goes, I'm leaning towards the Vertex at this point. The S-Techs lower .6" in back, and .7" up front.

Looks VERY nice, Bat. I'm not usually a fan of sideskirts or lips, but they go incredibly well with your car.

Very Nice.

I saw your Z in person at the Performance meet.
Nice combo with the Veilside.
The kit looked great.

That's a killer lookin ride Andy...I'm lovin how you left the center unfinished. Goes REALLY well with your car.

I scrape the bottom of my lip every full moon when i'm taking a steep driveway too quickly. Having it unpainted will probably work to your benefit.

Planning on lowering my car as much as yours...so give me a heads up if you encounter any unforgiving driveways in the Mira Mesa area.

Plan on making a mental list of driveway "no no's" and landmarks to be careful with once the springs/ wheels are in.

Good luck!

Correct, I left the centerpart unpainted. Definaterly a plus, especially when I accidently hit parking bumps, no loss of paint, plus I saved alittle $$ on not having it painted.

Whoa... Coooll. as Beavis says.

Looks great Andy!! Dayam! I am thinking Veilside V2 wing myself. I cant wait to see what you do!

edit You allready have the OEM spoiler. If you are not going to go V2 you shouldnt bother with the vertex. It is a very small change from oem.
