How does it feel versus the stock hood? Lifting it, closing it, etc.

It lifts about the same, but when I close it, it feels a little bit different. I didnt install the gasket that goes along the front of the hood, so i dont know if that has something to do with it.

Hood looks GREAT.

How can people keep a black car so clean there, looks awesome

Wondering how difficult if at all it was to make the wheels fit. I have a 2010 nismo and was given an incredible deal on a set of new custom work vsxx with gunmetal centers (f) 20x10 +30mm (r0 20x12 -2mm in the rear. I have a set of 10mm spacers coming in with as well, but I'm a bit nervous as to how much work they'll require to fit just right.

My rears are 19x12 -4 and it took a little bit of work lol. I didnt want to pull the fenders so to get them to fit i stretched a 275/35 tire and had to run -4.75 camber. I'm still thinking about pulling the a slight bit.

What disk type do you have for the fronts? I'm running R-disks and had to get a 5mm spacer to clear the sport breaks.

The fronts are T disks and the rears are R disks. I have a 10mm spacer coming hoping that'll be enough to clear the BBK, but if not the vender agreed to swap it out with a 15mm if needed. Truth be told I'm not sure what the differences are between the disk types, forgive my ignorance. What brand tires are you running?

I'm pretty sure the T-disk was designed to clear our front breaks, so you might not need a spacer at all. Unless you just want more of an offset.

R-disk requires a 5mm spacer and I think A-disk requires a 15mm spacer.

I really dig that front lip from seibon. I'm looking at future lip options, this is one of them but really concerned about how far forward and low it sits. Will probably have to raise the car a little bit to accommodate and not have to worry about scraping and ripping it off.

Nice looking MB Z!

Have you have to replace it yet or are you still on your first? I have the S style and on my 2nd lip. Already has a small crack. My bumper popped off the right fender twice already because it is so low. aarrrgh

I'm already on my second bumper. I win

OP, that's just the way it is with these lip kits

Punk86 · 06-04-2013, 11:23 AM

LOL. Yeah, I use to have a stillen front lip and i destroyed it within a month. This was the next lip that I got and I have had it on since sometime around September '12. It has started cracking in a few places, but its not very visible.

My font bumper isnt screwed in on the sides because if I hit something Id rather it pop out and have some give. So every once and a while I have to go push the bumper back in... low life problems... lol

axmea? · 06-08-2013, 12:48 AM

I have set aside a lip fund. I will need it for a rainy day. I would like to see a Seibon GT on a PW Z. Nice car bro.
