Sneak Peak, Carbon Fiber Front Lip, From The 370ZSOURCE!!!!

RCZ · 04-16-2009, 07:11 PM

Why don't u make a cool rear valence/diffuser? The part of the rear bumper that goes around the exhausts is separate from the rest of the bumper. Make a replacement for that which doesnt have the fog light and I'd buy it.

^ That's a good idea. A replacement diffuser in CF would look great, especially minus the "fog light".

I think this along with an extended lip would look hot, especially on white. Will give more contrast in the "mouth" and actually make it look good. Mines Lip painted white with this would look good. I believe this is actually done with the Top Secret Lip for the 350z since it doesn't include a part for the original lip, refer to Leemik's ride on my350z to get an idea of how this would work well.

Looks pretty good!

Might be cool to even paint everything but the fangs.

I guess this is you making yourself feel better about not being able to afford real carbon fiber.....

I think, if you can afford it and are willing to go that far, that replacing heavy body parts with lightweight CF replacements is awesome. However, most of the CF stuff I have seen on actual cars on the street in houston has been (a) cheap plastic that kinda looks like CF and/or (b) just a cover that slips over existing bodywork, so no weight reduction. I dislike the "just for looks" CF (and CF-look-alike) stuff, it's kinda retarded.

I think this is the best use of carbon fiber.

Not that's weight savings

LiquidZ · 04-17-2009, 03:53 PM

I'm not really feeling it.

370z4Steve · 04-17-2009, 05:23 PM

before you make a purchase make sure that the item is returnable because a lot of carbon fiber stuff looks like crap up close and in person. just my
