I'm a very reputable seller/member on Hybrid Z... I've sold to hundreds of members (including apparel and fiberglass and carbon fiber wide ZG fender flares) on Hybrid Z.

**UPDATE** 10-25-08... Mold is completed and the g-noses will be made to order, purchase when ready!

Ok fellow Z/ZX addicts, the Arita Speed style G-nose air dam will now finally be coming to a state (or country) near you!

The Arita Speed s130 g-nose has only been available from Arita based in Japan and they will not import the kit. Therefore the reason why it's never been available or really seen before. Supposedly for a small period of time a company in the UK (MJP Auto) used to sell a knock off version but they charged international shipping rates easily over $500 as it's been said and also the fitment was declared very poor.

After many have waited years and some only months, the s130 g-nose is now here in the USA and ready for you!

Thanks to Vinh280zxt, he personally bought this g-nose from Arita on a trip he took to Japan and after some hassle, extra carriage fees and cutting it in 2 pieces, he brought it home with him to the US on the plane. And after a debatable decision, Vinh decided to sell me the g-nose in order for it to be reproduced for all to have access to.

On Monday (8-25-08) my shop will will begin making a mold off the only Arita Speed g-nose air dam in the US states that I'm aware of.

There have been talks about the recessed trim around the headlight buckets and my decision has been to keep it there. If you don't like it, after your purchase, I assure you it will be easy to fill and smooth it out.

Also as most of you know, it's pretty much impossible to find headlight covers for the s130 gnose as well since they are no longer produced. Soooo I'm also considering making some custom headlight covers for those interested, prices will be determined soon.

Not really a huge fan of how that looks... Cheaper and less detailed than the stock bumper, looks too blocky.

The effect is subtle on an S130 which already sort of has a "G" effect from the blocked off grille anyway, it looks alright on the black and gold one, but the blue car shows off all the installation gremlins that you'd expect from most kit installations...

The large amount of tunneling in the grill opening is thoughtful though.

Really I just like the 280 in your sig

what installation gremlins are you talking about?

any fiberglass part may require some some cutting/trimming to fit properly, that's a given, even 'high end' kits for expensive cars, but if you're talking about his hood as it looks misaligned, it's because it is popped up.

Plus the japanese pics are really low quality and those are the only ones really on the net that I could find.
