I think I'm winning so far!

Can I be the first to get it then

BTW - I like that rendering of Jon's but you guys have to understand that part of it looks so well because of the fenders being HUGE...You wouldnt be able to get the front bumper without the wide fenders...and you wont get the wide fenders without the side skirts to match etc etc...your then talking a whole new body of the car.

++++ I delt with aftermarket bumpers being so low and while it can look good for a majority of the time, it becomes the being pain in the *** to maintain the car without scraping/bumping/cracking body. It became exhausting having to drive so worried that anything can ruin the body kit. I want to really enjoy the car.

I am only interested in the spliter. If it was just a tad less dramatic and was not so low, it would be PERFECT! If it was Mine's lip low, just perfect...

So this is how I picture the kit looking minus a few details...

^ needs a whale tail!!

As for me, I'd never go with a crazy widebody kit like that. I would like a subtle lip like many have said above, and maybe replacement side-skirts since the paint on white doesn't seem to match on the stock sides compared to the doors and fenders and it looks terrible.

IMO build the lip first, the money you genrate from that can help you do better R&D on the wide-body and racing inspired bumpers for the people that need the aerodynamics.

O.K... The more I look at this Z, the more I like the front bumper. Develop one to go with the 370Z's body lines a bit more like this, and it would be hard to turn down.

Mines the side vents for the less aggressive guys and keep them for the track junkies! Don't forget the 'teeth', but make them black/CF!!!

I should have been more clear. I like the front, not the side....

Jason stop posting that on every single thread. Thats the 4th post out of 4 that you have where you post links to something you are selling. The boards aren't your marketplace, theres a section for that. You are getting reported if you do it again.
