Help. Want a more aggressive front end.
 

Opinions on a lip or new bumper? I think the front end is lacking. It's stock. Not much going on. I think a Nismo bumper would look cool, but it would be hard to come by I think. Maybe a lip? Would like to keep the price down.

Here's some pics:

My '13 with DRL's removed, replaced with black mesh grilles

looks good. i don't have DRL's though..

ooo very interesting...never seen or thought of that before. looks good man

you could blackout the fang section....i feel that makes it look much more aggressive. and thats very simple and cheap. heck you can try it out with plasti-dip,see how you feel and decide from there?

i know my car buddies said it looks much more "angry" with the fangs blacked out

You can find an oem nismo front bumper, like the simplistic look compared to an amuse kit, and think nismo flows way better. I think the best bumper is fujimura. Not too big of a fan any lips though.

Sunline with blacked out fangs is the most aggressive I think. Nismo flows nice but not as aggressive, fujimura is nice but expensive, s tune is nice only on certain colors and car has to be low, seibon GT lip looks aggressively good but car needs to be low as well.

Bottom line first step to make it look mean and aggressive is to black out the fangs and make a wide mouthed Z.

Just my opinion.

i think your car looks great the way it is. but if you are planning to add something, do a CF splitter like the ings+1. those give the front a more rectangular look without being too 'lookie over here at rice factory!" :ugh:

if you run darker wheels it's better you have a lip, but if you're keeping your s-tunes in that color, just leave it. if i did not have my gunmetal WEDS wheels (and just ran my nismo wheels), i would've just ran without the ings.

Should have bought a Nismo! :p:icon23:

Right??? Lol, it's a great idea and I've never seen it.
Steve, you should make them brake cooling ducts


Yep, and cut out the louvres in the "grille" area and replace with mesh.

Triples has this set up and it looks AWESOME

I would like to present exhibit A and exhibit B. Just to give you an idea on other possibilities.

^^ his car, the way it is, looks better to me. :D

I'm still a big fan of the Stillen front splitter. When you paint match it to the rest of the car it gives the car a more aggressive look and also maintain a stock look

1 vote for Varis front lip version 2!

Sunline Racing front lip is pretty aggressive. Probably my favorite front lip by far.

2nd vote!

cant wait for mine to be here!

^can't wait for pics

...I'm actually thinking of going with a white '13 Varis look instead of the Amuse. The diffusor is just so cleanly designed and I don't want to throw away/ put away my perfect condition OEM bumpers.

I went around digging up pics of white Varis Zs ....

do something different i like a Amuse rep with CF accents and amuse sides witht he varis rear would look dope.

i still think his current look is better. lol

How about this - Nismo front bumper conversion with RC brake ducts. I've since added an RC grille.

Here's mine. :D

We have the winner! :happydance:

I'm partial because I have the exact same set-up (with a major shout out to Rusty for the help with the brake duct install! :tup: )

And it's proven downforce at the track...and it won't fall off like other kits..and yeah a perfect nissan oem fit.

modded headlights definitely make the front end more aggressive IMO...but I might be biased :P
Hit me up if you need any headlight work

damn..... make me want to change my SL replica custom lip for the 2013 Z:excited:

BTW if my car was a 2012 for sure i buy the Seibon GT-style carbon lip ;)

I second that! +2!:tup:

I personally like the look of the evo-r front lip with the blacked out fangs. It's simple, clean and affordable.

I love the ings lip...wished they still made the replica since I know I'm going to scratch the hell out of it. I don't like lips that stick out too far and/or going up the bumper too much on the side.

That varis ver.2 lip looks good as well, also like the nismo w/rc ducts. But I'm still for fujimura front.

Incase anyone wants this lip have two in Arizona on a steal price in FRP

damn looks really good...

Which lip is that and what price?

I think the OP's regular bumper looks better than the Nismo bumper...Just my preference. IF anything i would one of those black splitter things in post #11.

Its the Top Secret rep. May need to pm them for price.

+1 for nismo lip. will have to take pics of my car when its not so cold

definitely agree. I like that it's on of the few lips that actually blends in with the car. I almost feel like I wanna buy another one for "insurance" purposes:ugh2:
