zele front bumper gives better air flow for FI?
 
After seeing some people from the South region having trouble getting cold air to keep the temperature low during summer, I was wondering if zele front body will help reduce this issue.
I know many go for amuse for its aesthetic, but if zele gives a better outcome for the FI, I may consider getting just the front.
What do you guys think?

Oh wow. That's great! That's the first aftermarket bumper I have seen that I really like and that would help with getting cooling to brakes / supplemental coolers. Is there an American distributor?

Yes, it does look as if it will help some. That combined with a vented hood would make a great combo.

^ This

Packing more air in the front will help, but you really want to exhaust hot air from the engine compartment as well. That's where the vented hood will come in.

FWIW, I think UAM (forum sponsor) makes a replica of the Zele front just in case you don't want to spend thousands on it.

If only G's had a decent fitting hood that does not require washers/removing hood latch

In for confirmation of UAM making something like this, and any comments on fitment.

We're Zele's biggest distributor outside of Japan....

UAM is NOT and I repeat NOT making a replica of Zele. We are however working on our own kit :tup: does it have similarities to the Zele... Yes, it does the Zele kit opening placements offer a great deal of airflow! And ours will follow in step with the same philosophy for cooling. We can get you the Zele front bumper or any other part as well.

I knew you guys were doing something similar. Just couldn't remember if it was an exact replica or not. ;)

sojirovskensi 12-02-2011 12:31 PM

besides the kit price, how much more should I expect for the paint+labor?
also, would it be alright for the look if I just install front bumper with oem side/rear?
I mean,, I will care about the performance first, but i wouldn't want to make it look awkward.

There is the stillen front bumper to, it's not fancy as the Zele but it has great airflow.

but when it comes to looks Zele makes your Z like Porsche :stirthepot:
diffidently would get it if I could afford one

here's some pix of the stillen

Nixlimited 12-02-2011 01:45 PM

Yeah, just not a fan of the Stillen one.

370Ztune 12-02-2011 02:07 PM

The Stillen bumper is definitely good for air flow! However, for some people the design is off-putting. Also, the urethane doesn't like to be left in direct sunlight, as it will start to sag a little bit, especially in the middle section.

Also, do front lip come with the front bumper? I mean, do I have to buy them as a set?
If not, anyone has picture without the lip?
I don't think I'll be able to buy it with the lip, i need to buy GTM SC!!!

The lip and bumper come separate.

Wish they had integrated some LEDs into the air dam splitters. That would have looked sweet.

B.A.Q 12-03-2011 06:37 AM

The other thing that is good about this kit is all other guys got the Amuse makes it more special I guess, and everyone knows it's not a replica because no-one makes them.
