Idea for a new lip - Am i Crazy?

TenaciousZ · 02-19-2013, 02:13 PM

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?

Meh... I'd like to see how far out it sticks

Dental braces for your Z???

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 you want some custom fronts.. I got some designs for you..

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
