OP can you post pics of your car? Do you currently scrape your front when going on driveways?

based on your picture I say go for it. Just don't forget to go sideways on driveways

...since you are in the LA area we should meet up. I go to this meet in La Canada every now and then, we have a bunch of Zs showing up every time.

How is the camber on your rear tires? do you have a camber kit?

honestly, that splitter looks retarted, i have seen some good looking splitters, but that one looks like you took a half round piece of plastic and strapped it to the underside of you bumper.

The only reason that car looks cool is because it has a fmic

and i bet you the splitter looks even worse in person

The apr splitter is big because its for a track car. Gmoney, don't worry about the height issue. just be careful, there are plenty of people with cars alot lower then yours that drive on roads that eat cars(massive potholes etc)

much much better, that's a real splitter. none of this flat, half round crap. I still stand by may previous statement that the one pictured on the Z above looks f***ing retarded.

glad I can help. Did you notice the sale price of $214? I wonder if you can still get it cheaper if you tell them you are from Nico.

gmoney : go for the stillen one. I may even consider it after seeing it.... Also, you fail for STILL not taking pics of your whip with the new wheels AND tire shine

APR = ugly/ghey

Sounds like someone might want to arrange a group buy. I'm down for $185...Also, there are two different types. One is for the oem fascia and the other for the series 2 stillen fascia, just an FYI.

bad news.....I just got a response back from Stillen, "at this time they do not have any additional discounts" and group buys are not available at this time.

I made a mistake, its not $214, its actually $216 and some change. $216 is still way cheaper than $314< the original price.
