Some clean, simple, functional would be good and flows fluidly with the canards that you guys were planning as well.
Example:

They look really cool, Stillen! If the vents are functional, I say leave 'em in. Otherwise, Reds chop looked best.

This is the lip I would like to see made for the 370z. Although this looks just like a 350z nismo lip. Simple and not bulky.

Red you nailed it! What a perfect front lip exactly how its supposed to be, nice and clean follows the lines of the car and doesn't disturb the front end appearance just simply enhances it! Major KUDOS!

With this type of design, there is a decent amount of extension at the front, which would in fact increase downforce as a splitter would.
Canards are also absolutely an option, as long as the interest is there. Similar urethane pieces we've done with the GT-R were very effective on our race car. And urethane is extremely durable, the original lip spoiler and canards we put on our GT-R survived the entire Targa Newfoundland Rally just fine, slamming all over the place. Fiberglass or carbon fiber would never have been close to lasting. |

I like the GT-R, not sure it will carry over exactly that for the Z (GT-R is a bit more "boxy), but I like that design.

OK OK Please dont flame, I did this in 5 minutes and I think its OK...
I took the Porsche front lip (GT3) since it had the indentation in the middle which I happen to think flows very well with the fangs. I left the vents only because its my take on vents (if there has to be any) and its easy to remove... Enjoy...

Its not even that its more aggressive, its simply a nicer piece than the proto for the Z. Even that lip molded to fit the Z would look great if they align that middle indent with the fangs. But I think its important to have the lip designed to flow along the frontal part of the bumper rather than underneath, or else it will be trashed extremely quick. The stock bumper is already low enough with a coilover system installed...Any lip that adds to the bottom of the car will be useless, unless your driving on the most perfect roads all day every day.
