I am meeting up with the guy making the canards next week. Hopefully Paul (the dude with the silver nismo w/ graphics on the side) will get me some good pics then I will forward them to the guy making the canards.
The trick is matching the contour/curvature of the V3 bumper! I took some detailed pics. What your looking for is pics with measurements.

Also, something else Joe @ Z Speed Performance had for my z, was a Wilwood Master Cylinder. Here's why this is nice:
If you have an HR, and you want an aftermarket clutch, then its added pressure will cause your slave cylinder to go out very quick, which will cause you to need a heavy duty slave cylinder to handle the pressure. With the new slave cylinder, the stock master cylinder will not be able to force enough hydraulic fluid to the slave cylinder, which will result in the clutch pedal dropping to the floor or not being able to engage into gear correctly. I was experiencing all of these problems, in this order, so now with the heavy duty master cylinder, it effectively forcees enough fluid to my slave cylinder, which results in a perfectly operational clutch pedal.
What a mouth full! (Thats what she said.)
Anyways, also heres a pic:
*EDIT* After owning this for a few months, the z drives perfect. No more of the clutch pedal dropping. It basically feels stock, but its working perfect. My/Joe@ZSpeed's goal was to have a perfectly operational clutch pedal to go along with a heavy duty slave cylinder, that is needed to help compliment an aftermarket flywheel/clutch. If you have issues with your clutch pedal after an aftermarket flywheel/clutch/slave cylinder install, this is the fix!

I would do the Stage 2 TZR unless you're FI or want a heavier pedal feel.
I put this in the my 370Z with the DXD flywheel and it pretty much rocks, Much better than stock, Smooth from a stop and shifts soo fast, it just falls into gear with the lighter disk weight even at redline.
Brandon, you need to drive this
Nismo Diffuser is here waiting on your car also

The canard guy isn't answering my calls/txts, so I'm not sure on that one. I should be dropping my bumper off this week. I drove my z for the first time in over 3.5 months yesterday when I took the bumper off...MY GAWD I MISS THIS THING!
