I am not sure but would the Nismo Exhaust look alright under the Vertex rear? I was thinking it would set in too much but I'm not sure, anyone have any thoughts?

Oh yeah BTW.............

Sorry your Blitz Wing is on BACKORDER! I got lucky enough that Intense Motorsports had one left IN STOCK when I ordered mine back in March. The Blitz wing is by far the best looking wing/spoiler for the Z to date. I LOVE MINE! Wouldn't change for the world, just my 2cents!

Thanks! Well, I'm currently running the Fujitsubo Legalis-R Exhaust & as you can see from the pics, it fills the openings perfectly IMO. The Fuji has large tips in comparison to others out there which looked even bigger when I was running my OEM rear bumper. I know that the Nismo tips are pretty much the same size as the the OEM ones so I would think it'll look small. Plus I'm not sure how that's going to look since it also angles up slightly. Perhaps someone can take the pic I have & PS it for you.

Yeah, I just love how the Blitz Wing looks which is why I'm willing to wait for it.

Thanks. It actually does have overlays already. It's very subtle but it currently has 3/10 overlays on. Wish he had a shade between 3/10 & 6/10 though. I think that shade would've been perfect. I want a tint that would blend in with the car. If you check Bat's gallery, those are my taillights he has pictured with with 3/10 overlays. It has a good side-by-side comparison of what it looks like with & without it.

Hahaha. Yeah, it's very subtle. If I don't point it out, you probably won't think much of it unless you see it next to another Z that doesn't have it.

Thanks. Like most JDM kits, it is hand-laid fiberglass. Yeah, I wish they sold this in urethane or I would've totally jumped all over it. At least the front bumper . This kit, for a fiberglass piece, is really high quality though & quite flexible so I'm not disappointed at all.

Wow, that looks fantastic!

That is only the second body kit I've seen that I would actually put on my car. Looks smooth and flows with the lines of the car. Nice.
