Soon, verry soon, I will be joining the C-West Army. N1 front and rear bumpers are at paint right now. I have to wait for the sides, canards and GT wing until the end of the month though 
.
Remember, before I start getting flamed about the GT wing, my car is not even registered for the street. 100% track car and its gutted and most of that weight came out of the rear so the back of the car needs as much downforce as it can get, especially with 690wtq
. So the wing is PURELY for function in my case. Especially if I put the canards on as those would make front downforce and raise the rear at high speeds without the wing.

General Nitrouz is changing his car again... since he's going Top Secret rear diffuser, I don't know if he's high tailing it out. Maybe your car will be good enough to replace him. Aw hell, you're appointed general with 690 WTQ.

I read that article the other day. I know what you are talking about, but it does still create front downforce. When you read the part about the rear wing, they talk about how the downforce on the wing will lift the front end up at speeds creating understeer. So they do cover the subject, just in reverse
. Obviously, the canards don't generate nearly the amount of downforce as a wing, but my car is already too light in the back so I am sure it would make it noticeably worse, especially at tracks like Cal Speedway.

I realise I am changing the subject, but I cannot for the hell of me find a picture of the c-west bonnet. The only picture in existence seems to be that crappy small c-west 350z which has so many stickers and decals on it I can't get a good look at the bonnet itself.
Does anyone know someone or where to see this bonnet on a 350z?

Wow!
Thanks a million.
That bonnet is awesome.
I guess the price is what's stopping people from putting it on more Z's.
It's a shame. That's one of the nicest bonnet's I have seen for the Z. I like the hard lines.
