Also, not to knock any of the other ones because I like a lot of the ones that have been posted, but they are just to much for me. My Fiancee and I need to save, so i'm just using extra money on side detailing jobs or some old car parts that I have been selling.

Ok, photos of my Mine's front lip molded to the stock bumper:

I think its the Stillen Front lip! I've been debating for months and finally decided on this lip. Cheap, functional and clean. The rest are just too loud and do not add ANY functionality.

My personal favorite lip would be the Varis Front Lip. Zele Bumper is nice too. I like my car to look clean and as OEM as possible. I went with the stillen splitter. Nice and cheap and got it color matched and really like the look of it.

Zele is very nice. I generally don't like Stillen's kit but your lip looks nice!! Just don't scrap!!! ;)

The Top Secret lip is functional.

I think the Stillen one is functional but I'm not 100% sure.

NYBladeZ 01-23-2012 01:34 PM

The Top Secret lip seems more fashion with a little function whereas on the other extreme you could get a custom APR splitter for much cheaper that is subtle and fully functional. I'm surprised no one has done that route yet.

edub370 01-23-2012 02:38 PM

stillen. simple, not overstated or obnoxious. cheap and FUNCTIONAL! a feature lost on most aftermarket lips... what a novel conept..

Agreed, minimal functionality!! All are more for looks!!

scottIN 02-06-2012 11:25 AM

How much does the Stillen lower the front - if any? I assume it's not as low as the air dam (which I seem to scrape a lot). I've tried to look at side by side photos, but just can't tell.

gurneyeagle 02-06-2012 12:01 PM

I vote for the stock Nismo front end. :tup:

Guard Dad 02-06-2012 12:10 PM

The Stillen lip, on a stock height car, has not been a clearance problem for me. I went with the Stillen because it looks good on silver as is so it didn't require painting. Being smaller than most splitters it looked more understated which suited my taste as well. For me it looked more functional and less like a body kit. Several splitters out there make the front look a little too heavy (just my opinion) and need expensive side skirts to balance the visual mass of the splitter.

I wasn't going to get a splitter I didn't like just to have something on the car but the Black Friday Weekend sale at Stillen made it so affordable that it was a no brainer for me.

Having said all the above, I have seen many photos (on this site) of different splitters and lips, with and without skirts and with and without paint. I didn't like all of what I saw but LOTS of them have looked absolutely outstanding. So a big factor is how strong a visual statement you intend to make and how much you want to spend.

Sexiest front bumper is Amuse. As far as lip - I like my Evo-R the most

Disagree :tiphat: Adding something as simple as the OEM sport front chin spoiler is functional, so it's not that farfetched to think adding a few inches of lip isn't going to alter the way air moves in front of the car. As with anything related to aerodynamics though, it depends a lot on when it becomes functional. Stationary or street driving, not so much. Full speed at a track, different story. Certainly some spoilers are more effective than others, but they are fuctional to a degree. Air has a lot of substance going 100 mph, it doesn't take much to direct or redirect that air flow. Just look at something as minor as a mirror on a rally car for example. For most of us that will never likely see a track however, a lip spoiler purely cosmetic with the potential to be something functional... same goes for the rear spoiler.

It doesn't go below the front air dam. At stock height, I haven't scraped mine at all. Clears all speedbumps I have encountered. I'll scrape the front air dam well before the splitter.

edub370 02-09-2012 11:33 AM

havent scraped mine yet either.

Cheap lip that is going to be my next purchase.

I think it's a INGS +1 replica..

Top Secret CF Lip for me!
It has both these curves but also sharp edges like the rest of the Z.

Love my S-tune Nismo lip!!! Not only does it come pre painted and with templates, it has 3m Tape plus 2 bolts per side front and rear.

I want a lip like that but the bottom pieces not to protrude past the upper one as much. Apparently that's too much to ask for or tho :ugh2:
