Z looks really sweet

had the exact same setup, but couldnt accept the too busy front end (especially that i have blacked out headlights and vented hood) and there were lots of gaps at where the splitter sits on the bumper. also the workshop messed up my TS diffuser, so i decided to go for nismo V2 front, CS CF Sides and CS rear



my goal was also to build a track setup

Honestly I like your old set up better. It flowed. Not so sure about this set up. You might need an aggressive wing and some functional hood scoops to make this "TRACK". Nice NTL.

I have a spare front and rear bumper in chrome silver if you want to use that for the track lol. You can have them, they're some what trashed.

yeah, they were taken at the metro station since the weather was prime. It was right down the street from my house so we went there and did a quick shoot. We did that while we waited for my buddy John (JBFoto) to get own here to shoot Milt's friend's car and Noel's G35 as well

Wow, what a coincidence! I have the same gaps you're talking about in front. I'm thinking about filling in the gaps with some kind of silicone sealant. If this bumper is too fragile, I'm thinking of going Nismo V3.

Is that a custom color? It looks darker than Carbon Silver (which was also my original color)

@JPsZ: I have a spare front bumper from an 03, but thanks!

Going in, I knew the setup wouldn't be for everyone. But I like it! My old setup would definitely not work for me at the track. VS-XX are really heavy, tires are stretched, and the INGS is full fiberglass (super heavy).

I sold my Amuse to a friend who did install it at another bodyshop, and they did a good job trying to eliminate as much as possible of the gap. V3 would also flow well with CS side lips.

It's a carbon silver

Looks great, but has the square setup been causing any issues with your traction control? I was set on getting a square set of tires/wheels until I read about people almost crashing with it

Car looks great especially considering it's past! But, is it just the angle or did the new shop just not quite match Angry Panda's custom paint?
