I haven't seen a lot of pictures of body kits with stock wheels, and if you see the stock wheels, they are usually the 18's. I'm thinking about something simple, like a Veilside V1 front lip and leaving the mudguards, or maybe a Kaminari front lip and GReddy side skirts. Any opinions on how this would look with the stock 17's?

 

heres what i am at currently. It is begging for rims which is why I have been looking for a good deal on some Axis Milanos or Hiros...

Its the veilside v1 front lip, etc

 

Thanks for the pic, looks good to me. You don't have any more shots do you? Maybe a side shot?

 

low quality but gets the point across

 

Thanks a lot. I really like the Veilside lip, even with everything else stock. Very clean.

 

Heres on a Silverstone for ya...

 

Didn't quite put on the complete Veilside skirts in this pic...

 

From a top angle. Hope that helped some.

 

i like it better with the half skirts.

 

Thanks zephyr, that helps a lot, being that I have a silverstone as well.

 

IMO - you should save up for some wheels first. New rims really make a huge visual impact - much more so than a lip kit. I know wheels cost a lot more than a lip - but after you spent $400 on a lip, you're that much farther away from getting new wheels.

Of course, if your not planning on getting any wheels - the veilside lip looks good with 17's.

 

Hah exactly what my friend told me and I whole heartly agree.

I put the lip on first because the Z never seemed quite right without a more aggressive front lip. The front of the car just looks so blunt and goofy without it so I HAD to give in...

of course the wheels are coming in a couple months!

skirts were just a local seller's bargain.

titanjc - No problem..you'll love your lip if you decide to get it. I believe "Dave79" is running a silverstone with just a Veilside front lip on exterior as well.

 

normally I would agree wheels would be the 1st thing...but those mods really add a more subtle look...ya know different without being over the top...

 

I agree with you. The front of the Z is it's worst looking part. Even if you don't do anything else to the car - a subtle front lip helps out the look a ton.
