Unfortunately not many decent photos yet. I bought the car mostly built from another member. I'm working on a splitter and detailing it out with photos in another thread in this same forum. Once that's done I'm going to de-livery the rest of it and then get some better photos. Hopefully I'll get some out on track soon .

I do expect the splitter setup to add about 25 pounds. I believe there's about 15 pounds of hardware I have in total right now for a rigid support and the carbon splitter should be around ten pounds I'm guessing. Cutting some big louvres into the hood would definitely reduce weight though

I wouldn't bank on it being a net loss in weight, but Trackspec makes some very nice hood vents for our cars

Thanks! I'll take a look at them. I've been talking to verus engineering about their louvres. I've got them on my gti and they make a 350z kit that shouldn't be too different from 370z in cfd analysis.

From initial look it looks like trackspec louvres don't have wickers. Wonder if they have an option to add or if there's an easy way to add myself? The verus ones just slide in from the bottom, and they do make a big difference.
