Nuno Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi Guys I own a black 05 roadster. Its standard except for 20" wheels and light smoked tints. I have purchased a nismo style n1 spoiler and shine nismo style sideskirts (thanks sarah for the quick delivery on the sideskirts ). I will also be getting the nismo rear spats and hopefully have it all fitted by Mitz & Andy very soon. I'm considering a stealth look and I was thinking of: Smoothing the rear spats into the rear bumper Smoothing the centre line in the side skirts Smoothing the spoiler into the bootlid. Removing the front and rear badges Smoothing the front bumper badge recess Replacing the front grill with black mesh. Painted the side Z emblems and handles either matte/gloss black The front reflectors, indicators and rear lights will be tinted with the flyeyes kit. Colour coding the internals of the headlights. Powdercoating the wheels matt/gloss black Im not sure what lip to get at the front. I'm not sure whether I should go for a vs style cf lip, or varis. Are there any others you guys think would look good? At the moment I'll just be fitting the kit and not painting as I've still not decided whether I should go for a wrap or not, I was thinking matte black What do you guys think?

Neilp Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 theres been alot of people who have done this on here. I'm sure if you search it you will find. I think one of the guys that used to be on here called nrenz123 done his skirts and spats. Have a search. It probably will look good but If your wanting that extra stylish look i would think of other ways as alot of this has been done before. Just my opinion, if you want a showstopper car then you have to be original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 just keep in mind that blending in is fine but it makes them very permanent also if you knock the bumper there is a risk (with the spats ) that they might crack along the fill.

Stu350z Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sounds dude! Whats wrong with getting the Nismo bumper/replica? You've already decided on Nismo everywhere else! Guess if its too plain for you you could think about carbon splitter or canards or both! Matte wrapped Zed's look black will be have you decided on an accent colour? Somthing that really pops like pink or lime green or orange What wheels are you painting? with what? I powder coated! So many decisions!

clarkie34 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just a note,be careful colour coding the internals of your lights especially black.You will get virtually no light out them,unless you upgrade to post 06 lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuno Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've been thinking about doint this for a while, and have had a look at other cars on the forum with the same thing done. I'll attach them some of you dont know what it will look like (hope the owners of the cars wont mind). I'm not a big fan of fibreglass and prefer things to fit right, cant justify the cost of an original nismo kit and its still made from fibreglass. I bought the shine side skirts as they're the hybrid frp material. I dont have a problem with the rear spats being fibreglass as they'll probably be smoothed in. If kits were easily available in abs then I'd go for new bumpers, a chargespeed rear with the carbon diffuser instead of smoothed rear spats and a nismo v3 front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Search for taddy and andy's cars they went for the stealth look and managed it well Agreed with Neil that if u want something completely different and to stand out from the crowd then nismo bits have been done to death but they do look good when smoothed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 i ve just replaced my front bumper with a v2...i went for the smooth look and had the badge recess filled.i even went so far as to leave the canards off. check out my pics on the forum to give you some idea.

But I want to limit the amount of fibre glass on the car, and the nismo kit goes well with the lines of the car, and as you said they do look good smoothed in. I like Taddys car, but think it would look even better in matte black like andy's, which is why I'm considering the wrap Im unsure with what front lip I should go for and whether I should smooth the spoiler into the boot lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
