JP Vizage Front Lip Installed

ZPirate · 02-20-2010, 04:31 PM

Thanks to Mike at Vivid Racing I was lucky enough to get my hands on the very first JP front lip spoiler for the 370Z to arrive in the U.S. I have had it for two weeks now waiting for it to get painted. I finally picked it up yesterday from the paint shop. This morning Modshack and I installed it.

I personally think that it is a subtle addition to the car and it makes the front end look much better. I also like the way it slopes up on the bottom in the middle like the stock Sport Package underneath spoiler does. And no it doesn't impact the Sport Package lower spoiler. I also think painted it looks a lot less bulky on the sides than it does in the unpainted pictures I've seen.

Here are some pictures.

The lip prior to install.

The lip held on by tape prior to us screwing it on.

Screws under the bottom of the lip.

Some fully installed shots.

Actually it has dropped since I installed the Volk Racing G2s because my tires are now 35s in front and 30s in the rear. But I know what you mean. It could stand to be lowered with some aftermarket springs/shocks.

Nice! I'd like to see this in CF. Plus, you and I have the same dilemma with the tires and gap.

nogoodname · 02-20-2010, 06:09 PM

Looks like the fitment was good!

I agree, the Z needs a drop. The OEM spoiler on the bottom looks out of place, no?

SophiaZ · 02-20-2010, 06:53 PM

Looks good

schrute · 02-20-2010, 07:43 PM

Looks good!

+1 on the drop

m4a1mustang · 02-20-2010, 07:45 PM

I think that looks really good! Nice.

I'd say that's a nice lip ! Seems like a good job matching the paint, too. I wouldn't call it TOO subtle. I'd say it "shouts" just a little bit.

kenchan · 02-20-2010, 09:48 PM

yah, drop it and give the front a tad more camber to tuck that tire in.

eibach's drop the car just enough and keep the ride very much like stock.. but if you can swing coilovers you can always adjust it to the median of looks/funtion.
