Front Lip options for 2013

ColdFire

Hi Guys,

I did my fair bit of research came to the conclusion that no one has take any initiative to develop a front lip for the 2013 front bumper.

So I'm here to confirm my doubts with you guys and ask if 12' and earlier 370z after market front lip would fit w/o issue.

I like the 2013 front bumper but I like modding even more.. with the back bumper and side skirts being the same I'm good to go..however, can't image my ride being uncompleted due to stock front end..

Any thoughts to share?

It depends on the lip, but for the most part, you're not going to find a whole lot..if any. The only one I can think of the might fit is the ings+1 since it sits below all the contours of the 2012 and older facias. I'm just guessing though. Most of the lip kits available conform to the bottom of the bumper and no one has really posted anything on how different the shape of the '13 bumper is compared to the older style. With the amount of '13's out there, it's going to be a while before a company comes out with something, if anything. Your only choices so far is to do a custom fabrication to make it fit, replace the entire facia with an aftermarket and/or trade with someone with an older bumper.

Same thinking there.. I was eyeing the Ings+1 lip but it seems that the middle section is a bit different.
Being 2013 we like to show it off.. and if i'm going with the TE37SL then my only DNA for 2013 model would be the front bumper... doesn't make sense to swap. I would have to either:

a) wait for someone to do lip fitment and see the result ( or maybe a reliable shops could do the same and report back to us).

I would very much love my car to be the test mule for interested shop but I'm 8000km away

b) buy another LED light and bracket and ship them for my friends in Carbon signal to fit them on a raptor front end.

I'm digging option two.. but again.. I think its an overkill .. would love my car to have few adds on (front,side,back,spoiler) not a dramatic change

OEM OEM OEM leave as is. No kit, lip period just stance on rims and call it a day.

I was wondering this the other day. I think I am going to just run with the stock front bumper until I decide to pull the plug on the Carbon Signal Raptor w/LED. Since we purchased the 2013, might as well keep the DRL's as its really the only thing we have that the older models do not.

Nothing out there that I'm aware of. From a DD perspective, I'm leaving it alone. I already have to be very careful not to scrape in my driveway.

I was wondering the same thing as well. I like the amuse front bumper but I don't want to lose the LED DRLs, it has grown on me. Hopefully someone will come out with a nice lip or something for us '13 owners

A little bird told me, that it is already work in progress..

I emailed Seibon the other day, I was told that they are planning on having some lips for the 13 model in about 2 months...

Donald@Carbonsignal

I was told by my boss we are also working on lip options for the 2013 Z. I have no other details beyond that though.

Does anyone know if the Shine Auto rear spats fit the 13's?
