Husky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 needs care and attention to put together needs to look spectacular you want a good photographer for it to look its best you have to order it in advance it costs loads wedding, bumper, meh its all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 This is closest I can find Sure there was another one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Not a fan of it side on, looks good head on. Personally think it needs other mods with it to mae the car. On it's own it loses the lines that the V1 & V2 do so well with. Bonnet needs the bulge in that too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
introspect Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Looks nice in Azure I think. Needs side skirts though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Not a fan of the lip being colour coded, gloss black or carbon would look better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Front on it looks good,side profile it's not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 yeah thats good enough to see it in a "real" picture. its mahoosive. need a wild car to bring it to life properly. hang one, doesnt this add weight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks ladies and gents..... some great comments and opinions of the positive and negative nature. I have to say the fitting, colour, fitments such as canards are of course paramount. It's not a subtle bumper to say the least with the splitter at the front standing out like a diving board! I've always liked the Nismo bumpers but they are far too popular and I want to create some individuality. The project for early spring is to cosmetically change the whole perception of my zed. I was going to stick with a chargespeed all round kit, but felt the front bumper isn't quite as favourable as the Ings or Nismo. I love the look of the V2 on Shire's and FakeIndians, so really having another V2 in my eyes is clogging up the space of others. I am still slightly interested in the Ings as it's cheaper, but heyho in for a penny in for a pound. I've already secured the rear bumper and for the record will NOT BE NISMO V3 - as mentioned probably the most ugliest rear bumper in the world ten times over!! The option of a carbon splitter or painted - which colour is the question - black or blue, or stick with Carbon for a styling/tech look - maybe paint the splitter orange so that people can see it before they step on it with big flashing beacons above it!! Maybe some sirens too!! Oh and yes there will be side skirts too - so to maintain a nice modified but subtle'ish look I was also contemplating getting a Carbon (bulge) bonnet, darken the roof either by gloss black or carbon effect wrap - A pillars in carbon - and then strip the paint off my carbon boot to then give a solid black contour from rear to front. This could cause issues with having a black/carbon splitter. I think I may need to learn some photoshop skills to create my dream. The next problem after this is which spoiler!!! This is proving to be a nightmare and I'm still searching without finding the right solution. Wheels I'm nearly there - just working out which brand havs the correct offsets, style, size and best price!! Thanks to Ian and Introspect for posting extra pics - this has helped my decision further!! Cheers guys.... until the next Poll..... Off to do some photoshop training!!

Ian Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The wheels will make or break the kit IMO. I like the rear but thats only because it works with a single exit Chargespeed rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 If you are going with the carbon look, should think about the limo tint on the rear window as well. Looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 yeah thats good enough to see it in a "real" picture. its mahoosive. need a wild car to bring it to life properly. hang one, doesnt this add weight... I am hoping the NET effect is Zero..... (Well I'm hoping). I'm planning on having lighter brake disks, exhaust etc for the future - so if there are any weight gains these should offset. I'd love to know how much weight the Zed has lost since my weight loss programme Cat's removed Spare Wheel Under strut bar divider thing (Rear) Heavyweight Boot!! Rear Wiper & Motor Boot Internal plastics (including external badges ) Air Intake - is actually lighter Strut Bar - I was suprised with the difference in weight So with lighter disks and exhaust there's some considerable weight to be shed.... .... (I've not lost any weight but the car has) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 cosmetically change the whole perception of my zed im copying that back to you later after you change your mind completely there is a thread on my350 listing stock weights mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 cosmetically change the whole perception of my zed im copying that back to you later after you change your mind completely there is a thread on my350 listing stock weights mate I'm fairly confident already.... The rear I know is already a favourite on the forum. A certain member here knows that once I saw this bumper it was a must for me to obtain. I've also sourced the carbon element of said bumper (little clue). The side skirts are of the same brand. Front end has now been pretty much secured as V3 - unless I'm otherwise convinced to change my mind to the Ings. Wheels is a tough one, although Volk is at the top of my list. It will be lowered - although not too much!! (CRUNCH) Instead of driving over a speed bump it would probably impale itself into the speed bump!! That's just leaves the spoiler.... decisions decisions.... I really like the Strosek, but not a fan of having to sit it on top of the OEM spoiler, almost looks like I found the spoiler.... I'll take a look at the my350 listing. It would be interesting to see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Like the V3, but love the V2, I just prefer the lines of the V2, even though quite a few people have it. But then if you've decided on the V3, it is a lovely bumper Why not something like the blitz spoiler? Doesn't look stuck on like quite a few others do. I'd like the evo-r one in part carbon fibre. http://my350z.com/forum/body-exterior/3 ... l-5-a.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I am with rich on this one..V1 and V2 V3 fail +1, dont like the bumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakeindian Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Looks nice mate... I was thinking about this before I got the v2 but couldn't get my head round the diving board With the right kit it will look lovely mate and your choices so far sound good. I've also been looking into the un named rear bumper aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 i'd have the ings front over all of them. saying that i haven't seen it for a long time and cant' remember what it looks like exactly. but i remember last time i saw it thinking, .... nice bumper. i have a feeling if i hadn't gone v1 i would have gone ings.

Wasso Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Nope not do-luck. The ings is fab in White but not as effective in blue hence my thoughts on the v3. Doing a search at the mo of all v3 fronts on my350z and there are some nice pics. The only slight issue is the sheer size of the splitter, it will be that which decides the outcome. Gloss black splitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
