Hey guys, my friend james (Elohite) and I worked on my installing my C-West CF Front Lip yesterday (thanks buddy! i owe you lunch!). Let me know how you guys like it. James says my car doesnt look sexy anymore ... he says it looks mean. haha. First we took off that scrape bar on the bottom of the stock bumper, then it was a challenge trying to get the lip on the bumper. It hella struggled with us, even though it was a perfect fitment lip. We double-sided the middle part, and then when we got both sides of the lip on, we drilled some holes into my bumper and screwed it in.

BTW. I also got to give a thanks to Darren at IntensePower for being a great help and shipped my lip out as soon as possible. It didn't come in time for the JDM Theory Show but that was UPS' fault (they put the wrong weight on the box). Thanks Darren!

 

your car is looking better and better keep up the good work!

 

SICK looking lip dude!!! PPW FTW

looks nice with the CF hood

 

thanks! =D james' garage/driveway is like an awesome place to shoot your car. perfect scenery

 

are you going to finish it up with the sides and rear pieces?

 

I was going to ... and don't get me wrong, the c-west sides and rear are beautiful, but my wallet is begging me to stop for now. I'm just gonna stick with the front lip for a while and see how I feel.

 

looks great bro! And damn now I know why elohite is able to buy all that ****! He's ballin'! lol

You guys made it seems harder than it really is though haha jk jk! I would finish up the kit, it would look sick. Maybe consider different sides, but go with cwest rear lips - they're one of my fav. for the Z!

OMG! And I see the my350z.com lanyard! I use mine too haha

 

Lol Thanks Alvin. I keep wanting to get the rears, just because my stock rear lip is completely cracked and broken. It actually wasn't that hard, but because my bumper has been through some rough usage (like blown tire hit it and kinda discombobulated it), it was a little harder than normal to push that side of the lip into the bumper.

 

haha I was just giving you guys a hard time! Just be careful driving with it! It looks so low right now. How long do we have to wait before we can see the rear and the sides?! Hurry up bro

 

it DOES look pretty weird with stock side skirts and rear ... damn you guys! stop pressuring me!! =P

i'm running on stock height so I guess from the high angle I was taking the picture it looks pretty low. let's just say it's low enough to scrape on even the simplest of driveways =(

Yeah that was a pain in the ***, but once it got on it was perfect.

Atleast now that thing looks mean as hell coming up behind you.

Hope you dont scrape too much buddy.

 

lol don't you mean it looks mean when i come up behind YOU?

 

it's actually VERY easy to put on if you remove the bumper...

after you take off the bumper, 2 minutes tops and it's on nice and tight.

 

I was about to call you but didnt want to bug you. It was just a PITA fitting the lip on the corners, but it definately took less time then it would have removing the bumper.

I'll remember that tip for next time though

 

lol Alex that's where we messed up, we kept the bumper on and tried to muscle it in.

 

ouch..your bumper must be pretty scratched up then.

just a hint...your oem bumper is urethane.....and you can bend it A LOT...

 

lol there's HELLA chippage on the left side, made me wanna cry ...

 

No C-West emblem? Car is definitely looking good.

 

looks good bro..

 

looks good
