How are they bolted on, seem secure? Splash guards might help blend them in more, but maybe not. Any other angles?

It would definitely look better with some accessories on the front and rear. I think I have decided to eventually go with the full Nismo 370Z rear bumper. Still haven't decided on a front treatment yet as aerodynamics is a big focus of mine. Eventually these sides will get replaced by something more aerodynamic as well.

I believe I 'called it' weeks ago about they wouldnt look good alone. Glad you put them on tho for reference. Also, for some reason they looked positioned differently than VIP's car. Maybe its just me, but the front section on their car seems to be tucked in a bit more and flare out as it goes towards the back.
Bomex front lip + those sides + some nice thin rear spats (I think the SLR ones are still to much for those sides) would look smooth. We'll see...I should have all the above done within the next 3 weeks!

They actually almost look like they were retro-fitted from another car that would have had close to the same lenth as the 370z.
Also, you said Shine, as in Shine Street? I remember them making a wing for the wrx. OK stuff...

Went out and took some better photos. The car is filthy because it rained here a few days ago, but oh well. I don't like them in the first pic, they are ok in the second pic, and I love them in the third pic lol.

I like them, Nismo rear plus these might be a good combo. So you are saying I cannot buy this item and you have the only one? I do wonder if the tile inward might be a bit better, but without splash guards or anything it would be tough to say, all depends on what else goes on.

In these last set of pics, the SS looks pretty nice, even w/o any other accessories. I guess because of your wheel color. They blend in nicely. The other pics you too in your garage (I assume) they were like....eh....alright. Much better in broad day light.

Well for the past two days I have been down in sunny Southern California carting the 370Z around! First stop was yesterday to Berk Technology where some final adjustments were made to the exhaust system so they can get stared on production versions! We also took some launch and drive by videos that I should have up on YouTube Monday or Tuesday.
Today I spent virtually the entire day at Password:JDM. They do some of the best carbon fiber work I have seen to date and have an impressive operation going on. I first walked in to the showroom to see a few JDM styled Civics, but the real fun stuff came when I walked back into the shop area and was bombarded by probably the coolest looking Lamborghini Gallardo I have ever seen. The Mercialago and the R35 GTR were pretty nice too! I took a look at some finished products and they showed me the entire manufacturing process for their carbon stuff which is all done 100% in house from raw materials to packing and shipping. They also have machining tools to make other awesome products like strut tower braces, tow hooks, battery tie downs, shift knobs, etc. While I was there a customer brought in his R35 GTR to get a host of Password:JDM goodies put on including swapping a "competitors" carbon fiber hood for a Password:JDM one. It was incredible to see the differences with the two right next to eachother. The attention to detail that Password:JDM offers is incredible and my favorite part is that everything is real dry carbon and they don't do overlays. Their hoods are 100% dry carbon fiber with a quality and look better than any competitor's products I have seen. I left my 370Z there with them where they will have their way with it for a month this go round and I am VERY excited to see the finished products. So far they are thinking of doing a handfull of small dress-up stuff first like carbon fiber engine covers, battery covers, brake fluid covers, radiator cooling panel, etc. They will hopefully also do a nice set of front canards for the stock bumper this round as well. I will start a full Password:JDM parts development thread here as soon as they finalize which of the products they will start working on first! I will pick the car back up from them in a few weeks and proceed to install the crank pulley, new Carbotech brake pads, Challenge stainless steel brake lines, etc. and prep it for the Redline Time Attack at the end of September.
