I like it. I think it would look better on some colors than others. it would look great on red.

Carbon fiber lip+roof+pillar+mirrors=

I thought this was going to be a TRUE front lip. Rather, it is just a grill overlay... I will pass; still waiting for a good, simple, and clean carbon fiber front lip...

Man that is really going to pop on yellow really good.

I was expecting a true lip too. I want a simple lip that doesn't stick out much.

how about non-carbon fiber, just plain black lip?

I know this is my first post on here, but... do people actually think CF looks good??? I mean it's a really small checker board... I understand its use for weight savings, but in my opinion, it looks stupid and if I were to buy a carbon fiber piece, I would without a doubt paint it.

Ditto. It does look good, but not quite finished. I see a clear 'seam' of some sort around the carbon that doesn't look good. Again, if it was a full replacement, definitely would look better. I'm also more of a fan of carbon that doesn't look like carbon (normally under a layer or three of 0.7oz glass) that is more matte finish. I like people to go "is that carbon? Ooh, it IS carbon" rather than "that carbon I can see from a mile away is probably a vinyl."

so if you owned one of these you would paint the carbon fiber, I think it depends on some parts it looks good on other it doesn't

I think it might look good with the Mine's CF lip. What do ya'll think?

Looks great! I was hoping someone would make something like this.

SoCal 370Z · 04-15-2009, 11:12 PM

I'm just thankful the 370Z aftermarket is still going in today's economy.

Zello370 · 04-16-2009, 05:58 PM

I love it, it will go well on my yellow 370, what about the area above the lip that hold the plates?
