Default new Carbon Lip kit added

want to start out by saying thanks to DynamicRomi, and CarbonLTD.
I got the Cwest sides from DynamicRomi super fast shipping, perfect weave, and OEM fit. also like to thank carbonLTD for the front and rear, the shipping was really quick, well packaged, the weave was good. front went on no problem, the rear took some playing with didnt fit 100% but worked out in the end. all and all very happy with both vendors.

here are some quick pick taken with cell phone (sorry so crappy) better pics later tonight when i can get to my camera.

let me know what ya think, know the pics sux but you get the idea.

Not feeling any of it, but glad your happy with it. Carbon fiber kits IMO are so 3 years ago in the import world. I think it downgrades the Z.

You have to have a feel for CF. I love CF. Sometimes all one color is boring.

I like it. I like how you didn't get the **** in CF. Keeps the CF isolated to the bottom. Looks good.

Now my thing is I don't feel mix-matching kits. But Hey its your car

What part of NY? I am from Staten Island, my brother is going to school in the bronx's. Maritime College...

What's up with your exhaust? Silencers? I've got that same rear on my car. I personally don't think the rear works well with your exhaust, the tips look waaaay off center in the openings.

When I first put my CWest CF lip kit on, everyone was telling me to paint it, it's ugly and rice like that, blah blah blah.

Now it's a trend. LOL...

I think they look great when they're painted with certain vents etc still showing the weave....that's still the way to go IMO.

For sideskirts or even front bumpers I'd be concerned about them cracking and breaking upon impact. Not much flex and parts tend to be expensive.

Nice plate.

You must clean your silencers like mad. I have the tanabe and from any distance you can't even see them b/c they are pitch black with exhaust grit...


I love the exhaust without the silencers, but I agree, for daily its too much...
