Idea for a new lip - Am i Crazy?
 
Inspired by the new audi tt rs - I'm curious what a titanium lip would look like on a z.

Not sure if anyone has done this before.

Here is Audi's version

I made a very crude version for the z in paint. One with the middle piece and one without.

I still haven't decided if I love or hate the idea. Thoughts?

Dental braces for your Z??? :ugh2:

So far Im not liking the double middle section one at all.

I think the single one could be done well but its hard to picture.

Anyone with photoshop skills that could make a better rendering please do

if the goal is to get a flat front bottom on the rounded Z base bumper, probably best just to get the Ings.

The Ings is my favorite lip out there.

After making the crappy rendering I thought it would work best as the Ings just without the end pieces on the side of the bumper.

The more I look at it though, the more I think some things just don't translate to other cars.

just be warned that the ings lip is not a finished product. it needs to be sanded and clear coated (painted if you get the non cf version).

I think it has potential, just needs to be photoshopped better and maybe redesigned just a tad to flow with the lines of our car. I love love love the Audi front bumpers of the new A4's and stuff, but those cars are slightly more angular whereas our cars are full of curves. From what I read the 370z was actually designed by a woman who want to embody sleek curves and sexiness in a car. The lip would have to flow with that for it to look good.

Thought about it.... but I don't think you get much more for the huge price tag.

Plus I couldn't part with my Z.

And my license plate would look stupid on an audi :)

seems mighty unlikely, I would say you would have to be a guinea pig and do some custom plastic dipping or vinyl wrapping
