Option 1 or 2, option 3 needs the rest of the kit to look good. In the end option 1 for me!

I kind of agree about the amuse needing the rest of the kit.

I feel that the Aerosync is lower which will look better.

I think black TE37 time attacks look great on silverstone. I had considered SBC RPF1's in 19" custom ordered though.

and RICER I orginially was going to go with a full INGS LX but the more I look at it the more it makes the car look fat and not sleek. I like the raised rear of the factory from a profile look.

Lastly after staring at the LX front lip for hours, I do not like how it rakes upward. I prefer a more level to the ground look

and Punisher

If all goes well I will have a upgraded radiator in there to handle the additional 2.2 liters of engine that will be in there this year

Since your Z is the same color as mine, I thought I would share. These are not the best pictures but they will give you an idea. PM me with an e-mail and I can send you others. These wheels are bronze TE37s and the kit is Siebon CF. [/IMG]

i've never been a huge fan of the amuse kit. I like it, its just not my favorite. The Veilside is simple and looks great, just like the aerosync. Both favor the OEM lines, so thats a plus. I'd say either 1 or 2, and then its just more of what do you like better because either one will look good.

And if you really drop what I think you are hinting at in that engine bay... well... why not go for 2.5 more liters?
