Yes, I'm on a budget man

AK, Varis cf lip is the way to go!

Hmmmm ..... the GT lip is angled up in the centre to avoid scraping the leading edge of the lip as you drive the car through a gutter .... the SR style lip is styled after a race-inspired "splitter" where the lower edge of the lip protrudes a long way forward (just like the "splitter" on road-race car. The GT lip is angled up for what looks like 2/3rds of the width of the car to stop the lip being ground-away by the tarmac as you drive thru a gutter/driveway I think.

It is really difficult to tell from the photo's but I reckon that anyone fitting a NS style lip is going to have problems with steep driveways and so on.

The GT style might be a better option but IMHO it looks "naff". For an explanation of the acronym, please go to

acronyms finder dictionary and abreviations finder dictionary - acronyms and abreviations list, definitions and funny acronyms from medical, military, army, training, business, internet, and emails.

and look at NAAFI where you will fiond the term used .... it is peculiar to the UK Armed Services and denotes "not", "nothing", "sub-standard", "less than useful" etc.

When I need a laugh, I often refer to the businessballs site ... lots of interesting acronyms hiding in it ... be interested in hearing whether the humour transports to demographic represented on this forum .... me being a dinosaur of advanced age and all !!!! The one I like best is WOFTAM ...... very descriptive

^ Always make me wonder of those lips that are angled up create tons of lift...

Zeester · 09-13-2010, 06:21 PM

Any updates ? Has anyone bought this for their Z yet ?

SE · 09-13-2010, 06:29 PM

We had two orders but due stocking and shipping issues that we weren't aware of until the last minute they didn't ship out until last week. These should be arriving soon.

SE · 09-16-2010, 09:40 PM

One of our customers just sent me some photos mounted on his car. I'll let him come on here and post them though

It definitely looks awesome.

Not really teasers, but just to verify fitment those asking. I'll have our customer post up real pics mounted when he gets a chance.

Special thanks to Steven for sending these to me on such short notice!

does the lip lower the front end or does it maintain the stock height?

budz · 09-17-2010, 08:21 PM

can you post a full front view of the car?

Zeester · 09-19-2010, 12:04 AM

Yeah, full front pics would be great !
