Lyndzzz Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Not a "does my bum look big in this" question but trying to decide what rear bumper to go for!! I think I've narrowed it down to the almost OEm Chargespeed or the Ings? Here's a pic of the Zed as she currently sits. about to fit an Invidia exhaust so want to show that off a little but just cannot decide which way to go? Opinion welcome, thanks guys Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Ings, apart from being nice, not everyone is running one either. Original one on ebay for sale at the moment too which is a bonus rather than fitting replica rubbish 1 Quote
Lyndzzz Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 That is the way I'm leaning but I must admit I do like the chargespeed! Quote
LRF4N Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 As nice as the chargespeed is, agree with jet pilot it's been overdone recently 1 Quote
valy Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Chargespeed in my opinion is not like you see 350zeds at every corner Quote
Scott TMN Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 ^agreed, especially running chargespeed rears. It looks much nicer and really beefs it up imo. Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Chargespeed in my opinion is not like you see 350zeds at every corner But if you go to show, they are two a penny, dont get me wrong, i had one on my old car and loved it, most definitely the best looking rear The Ings does look awesome too Quote
ZeppoJeff Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Id say chargespeed...looks so much nicer than the ings I just can't stand the step that the ings has on it as it really just doesn't flow with the lines of the car. I'm biased obviously though as I've got one and the invidia looks awesome with it. 1 Quote
Lyndzzz Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 this thread is exactly how my mind is working at the moment. Ings, Chargespeed, too many Chargespeed, Ings ..... 1 Quote
valy Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 at the end of the days you have to chose between 2 nice kits so you cannot really go wrong 2 Quote
Lyndzzz Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 Yeah that's why it's so hard!!! It's this car that keeps me coming back to the Ings http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/94344-that-green-z-pic-heavy/ Quote
glrnet Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Take the diffuser off your bumper, fit the invidia and tuck your bumper, that'll show it off nicely (and save you some money too) maybe add some spats too. 3 Quote
Lyndzzz Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 I thought about doing that, I've just sold the spats that I was going to fit, hence the diffuser still being on. The bumper is in rough shape though. It looks like it's had a bash or two in the past (not by me ) and it's the last bit of the car I want to "mess" with. Quote
andy james Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Before my excursion into the wilderness I fitted the same Strosek spoiler as you have. Maybe this pic gives you an idea of what your new back end would look like with the chargespeed. 3 Quote
Lyndzzz Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 Thanks guys Andy, the reason I bought the Strosek was I saw thetranquilbass' car at LakeZ a couple of years ago and fell in love with the combo. The OH much prefers the Chargespeed too! Buster, your car is looking good, but I think a new bumper is in order for me, the current one is letting the rest of the car down Quote
Chris Wiltshire Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Does anyone know if the chargespeed can be fitted with the black insert modded/cut to show off the exhaust? Sure i've seen it done one here before?? Quote
SHEZZA Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Which ever way you go Lyndzzz I'd say you'd need to remove the diffuser/modify the charge speed and ings to show off the invidia. Here's my standard bumper with spats. Edited October 23, 2015 by SHEZZA 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I think the diffuser is one of the nicest aspects of the Chargespeed to be honest, cut it off and you might as well just tuck a std bumper imho. 1 Quote
Chris Wiltshire Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Would a decent local bodyshop be able to fit a charge speed rear bumper or would it require someone that knows the bumper etc? Edited October 23, 2015 by Chris Wiltshire Quote
M1 6RYF Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I'm planning on getting a Top Secret style diffuser and Nismo style spats. I'll try and get a picture, i'm sure someone on here has had that combo It was on Buster's Ginger Ninja build thread i saw it. That is what has made me want it. http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/350Z_GLOSS_BLACK_FRP_TS_STYLE_REAR_DIFFUSER__NO_SIDES_/350FRPTSRD_.aspx Edited October 23, 2015 by M1 6RYF Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Would a decent local bodyshop be able to fit a charge speed rear bumper or would it require someone that knows the bumper etc? Replica, no, Chargespeed yes imho. Rt performance allow 2 days to fit theirs, should give you some idea about the amount of work involved. Quote
Chris Wiltshire Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Ah right a lot of tweaking with the reps then. I asked RT about a v2 front and got quoted 5 days.. being based in Cardiff its a bit awkward ahh Quote
