Which one would look best with red 350z?

C-West or Chargespeed? What you guys think?

C-West Carbon Fiber Lip Kit (about $1650 shipped)



Chargespeed Carbon Fiber Lip Kit (about $2000 shipped)

I would say that the Chargespeed Lip with the rest from C-West.I think the lip from the C-West is too out there. But if I HAD to choose one or the other I would get the . . .

Chargespeed.

Let us know what you end up getting.

IMO I don't care for either one.Your talking about some big bucks & if it was me I would put the money to better use.Since you have a '08 model you better be careful on the fitment issue.

I'm not sure if these are applicable for an '08 but I would go for a front lip from one company, side skirts from another & rear skirt diffuser or complete rear bumper from another........a lot less money and these parts you can put on yourself with a help of a buddy. But that's just me!

Since your into carbon fiber....my suggestion for a front lower lip is the VeilSide V1, carbon fiber but it's listed for '06-'07 models. It looks real sharp! From Intense Power, they will deal prices over the phone.

I also like the Carbon Creations N-1 carbon fiber side skirts.http://www.intensepower.com/cacrn1cafisi.html

Take a deep breath, close your eyes...visualize yourself driving the your car...you pass a gloss black car as you were driving, you take a look to check out your reflection...wow, what a nice body kit!...which body kit was it? Only you can decide for yourself. You own the car, you'll be driving IT, and your the one people are gonna see in IT. Did that help you decide?

Since you are asking for opinions, I think they all look like deep fried turds. If you do get them, make sure you paint them.

+1 for Chargespeed, the C-west front lip is too crazy. I may have to look into the Chargespeed rear lip myself!

This may be a dumb question but how do you do this bumper tuck? And does it only look good with a single side exhaust?

Unbolt the screws and bolts that hold the support at the bottom of the bumper and push the flap back, hold it in place and drill new holes in the bottom part.

Sweet, thanks, I think I might do this. I ordered the Injen Tru Dual exhaust and I think it would look good with this.

Do you need to buy anything for this DIY mod? Is that metal bar in the pic an aftermarket part or is that just something that is simply unbolted from underneath and then drilled through the bumper?
