Default V1 Lip, Greddy Skirts...

Does anyone have this combo? I'm thinking of doing this and would like to see pics if anyone has done it...

It's a great combo but the thing that's bothered me about it is the fact that the greddy skirts hang much lower than the v1 lip. I think the front should be equal height, if not lower than the sides.

Also needs some kind of rear bumper skirt too or else it'll look weird.

I'm glad you posted those pics cause that is the exact combo i was gonna go with. skirts are lower. now i can see what my car would have looked like (i wouldnt have had a rear kit either)

Thanks a ton for the pic... I might just go with the GReddy front lip as well... I'm not going to have a rear skirt but I do have the rear splash guards, and I think those make make the transition a little easier on the eyes...

THIS ISN'T MY CAR, but here's the look I'm going for:

It's got the v1 rear under-spoiler ... which still doesn't quite fit with the super low greddy sides.

Nothing> I agree, you could probably get by with the rear splash guards.

That bothers me as well. The very rear looks odd. I'm not sure about those side skirts. The font part (by the front tire) looks absolutely fantastic. Not sure it could look better. The back end (by the rear wheels) doesn't seem to work at all and looks odd, though maybe it's just that pic?

The Kaminari front lip Fits Great with the Greddy Sides, and looks better than the Greddy Front lip IMO

I was thinking of going with the Vertex front bumper with the Greddy sides and rear. Reason i'm going with the Vertex is the opening. Nice fit w/ intercooler

nothing, thanx for posting that kit on a sb z. mine is sb & i really like the reddy front/sides. the only thing i fear is that the greddy front sits so low. this makes for great looks but may cause problems during driving/ramps/inclines/etc. i hear horror stories from those with the v1 fronts & its not near as low as the greddy.......curious to hear from those with the greddy front lip.......i too agree the splash guards flow well with the greddy front/sides.........

im still waiting to see the stillen series2 side skirts combo'd with other fronts to see how low they look. i personally think the v1 front lip~still series 2 sides~stock splash guards wold look hot on a z.......anyone seen this combo by chance?



lastly, i wish they made a rear valence for the 350z that looked similar to the stillen gtz rear valence for the 300zx. i think the styling of it would flow well with the body lines of the 350 plus the sweet wrap around the tailpipes look is very sharp IMO! i would rather the exhaust cutouts to be round more like the smz rear......god i want everything dont i? lol!

i had a greddy front lip and it ended up breaking off (literally) . going up and down inclines finally took its toll.

Tim'sZ has this setup.The only thing I hate about the stillen series 2 side skirt is you put this on existing stock side skirt.

looking forward to the pics!

Tim'sZ has this setup.The only thing I hate about the stillen series 2 side skirt is you put this on existing stock side skirt.
are there pics of his setup available to see? are there noticeable edges due to the skirts going over the stock pieces? i would rather have a smooth transition. i believe there are other skirts similar to the stillen series 2 that are total replacements....i may have to research this if there are any noticeable raised edges.
thanx,
-justin

Do a search and you'll see....Its very hard to tell if the edges are noticeable you might want to ask Tim.Its very hard to seein the picture especially on brickyard color.
