All I see is the hood scoop detaching at speed because it's acting like an air catcher.

It can't. It includes an insert to give the illusion of an opening. Wonder why they didn't include it gives the illusion of speed and a race car in their ad??

This item is made to order and delays shipment 1-2 weeks.

Brand new in factory box.

Durable polyurethane construction.

Includes black vinyl insert to give the illusion of an opening.

Ready to prep and paint.

No drilling, cutting, or modification necessary.

Simple 3M tape installation.

Limited Lifetime Warranty.

It would be pretty sweet if they would mold that scoop on the hood and made a hole for the air to go in the engine.

I think a hood vent would be more functional in that case rather than a hood scoop.

Oh and this is the rear body scoop.
dude... we don't hate you, and I don't know why would you call some of us "haters"...

Some of those who posts a reply that you don't like are actually hardcore 'moddies'... they about mods in a very good ways.

We just wanna offer you some advice that.... when you show off your Z, people on the street will actually respect your mods instead of laughing at your mods at your back.

Of course, at the end of the day, it's your Z and it's your money and nobody in here can control how you're going mod your Z.

We're just whole bunch of Zers in this forum trying to offer you some advice that you won't go with a wrong way and regret in the future.

If you feel offended, just don't take it the wrong way, we don't hate you or your Z.

We just hate some manufactures that makes some so-called "mod-part", sell it at a high price but totally useless, and the part might even have a chance to cause dangers on the road.

Take it easy buddy...

Sounds like he is taking the car out for a couple joy rides instead of working on it.

- Front Lip (Paint/Install) Paint 1-2 Days. Install 1 hr.
- Front Hood Scoop (Paint/Install) Paint 1-2 Days. Install 15 Minutes.
- Rear Body Scoops (Paint/Install)Paint 1-2 Days. 1 hr.
- High Wing (Paint/Install)Paint 1-2 Days. Install 2-3 hrs.
- Wheels (Paint)- 1 Day For Paint-30 Minutes For Plasi-dip
- Angel Eye Headlights (Install)Install 2 Hours.
- Taillights (Tint)1-2 Hours

The work if done by one person should only take around two to three business days..

You really aren't getting anything significant done other then paint which takes awhile to dry and the high wing which is a longer install because drilling, etc..

Hey bluebird, what 'rear body scoops' did you get? If you got the one Unknown_370 posted, I really suggest you just don't put those on. Even if you did pay for it. Even if the guy already painted it and taped it on your car, I suggest you call and ask him to remove it. Or just use dental floss or fishing string yourself depending on how he attached it.

The ONLY way those rear scoops should ever be on a car is if you deleted your AC unit and need air ducting into your car during track events, which would require removing that rear quarter window.

As for the hood scoop, maybe make it functional to get less bad rep by cutting a hole in the hood to let air actually go through the air scoop, and remove or cut some of the plastic that is under the windshield wipers to let air flow and cool the engine.
