Sorry for my sorry lack of aero terminology. But I am looking for those carbon fiber front lip difusser things that have an adjustable metal stud were you can adjust the angle of the difuser. I am also looking for those side cannards (sp) that mount on the left and right sides of the bumper for extra downforce.

Does anyone know if they actually create meaningful downforce.?

Thanks for the help!!

They make universal canards and front splitter. Don't know if anyone makes one specific for the 350Z yet.

as for whether they produce downforce... it's all about application

if you don't track your car, you won't notice any improvement in handling

in fact if all you do it 1/4 mile runs... it might even slow you down (and i say this loosely because it's probably not measureable)

you might arguably notice improved handling while autox'ing, but i've never autox'd before so i won't be able to tell you... AFAIK you don't attain enough speed through the turns in autox for canards to produce significant downforce

maybe one of our autox pros can let you know more

the only front diffuser lip i heard of is from TOP Secret and its made up of carbonfiber. [only the lip part is CF, the rest is high quality fiberglass] but u can't angle them.

and the carnards. i personally don't think they'll do any 'meaningful' downforce at all. IMO but it sure looks great!! how can those lil things create 'meaningful' downforce. maybe a lil i guess.

but i have the top secret diffuser, im thinkin of gettin some canards too maybe, but i dont' want to puncture any wholes in my stock bumper.

i just got the top secret carbonfiber lip/diffuser. its in the shop b/c im gettin the carbonfiber part painted. [just the part where u can see] i might leave a part in the middle says, '350z' or 'top secret' in carbonfiber. should be done tuesday.

but i gotta say, the varis looks a lil better. from the bottom/diffuser how [looks like] it channels more air into the brakes. the top secret does too but doesn't look like does as much. and i also like how it attaches to the front grill. like w/ the top secret. it looks like an addon stabalizer or somethin. and. the varis is all carbonfiber and a lil cheaper.

i wonder if VARIS did any wind tunnel test.. since they have front, side, AND rear diffusers.. i would assume they didn't b/c or else they would of stated it. and from wat i heard, top secret didn't use wind tunnel too.
