WINKJ Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Hi Guys, I have test fitted the lip and is off for painting in gloss black. (just gel coat and dusty in the pictures). whats peoples opinions, when its gloss black, will it look too much? I am considering getting the side diffusers in gloss black too (Tarmac/CS can supply) which I think will carry on the flow and will look smart... what are the experts thinking? if its too much I can sell it on fleabay but until I see what its like when done I was just curious for some feedback!

ddcboyle Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) I think side diffusers will make the car look very smart. Im also considering these. Although then you have to do somethinf with the rear. Possibly nismo spats and diffuser? Edit: personal opinion, black splitter and black side skirts would make it more aero sporty look. But u need to do rear if your going to do sides. And if front lip is gloss black, need to do sides... I prefer black lip to colour matched silver Edited June 25, 2013 by ddcboyle Quote

Possibly nismo spats and diffuser? do you think I can run the car just with the gloss splitter for a month until I get them or will it look stupid? it will be a chargespeed rear. Quote

I have a green car with silver rear bumper. Dont worry about ur car looking silly during the mod period. But no, with black skirt I think itll still look good. It will just look a better finish with the rest done, go for it I say 1 Quote
Tinyflier Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 I have my "Mines-alike" front splitter still in gel coat black - soon to have Tarmac Sportz sidesteps in whatever finish they are (gloss I think?) and RT Perf rear diffuser also in gel coat black. I think gloss for the front splitter makes it too obvious so am going to try Plastidip first then if that looks naff - it will be satin black. I don't think all three MUST have same finish as there are significant breaks between one item and rest. Just my opinion though! David Quote

David I want all of them to match up gloss or I think it would look odd on my Z. Think I am going to fit the splitter for now though until i get the side difusers Edited June 25, 2013 by WINKJ Quote
Pete87 Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Splitter looks nice mate and with the side steps it will look much better. 1 Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Splitters look fine on a standard Zed, Side diffusers look better Rear diffusers look awful without spats These are just my personal opinions Looking good 2 Quote
Hennerz Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Not a great photo but here is mine with tarmac steps and mines replica in gloss black 2 Quote
WINKJ Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 Not a great photo but here is mine with tarmac steps and mines replica in gloss black looking good! cant see the side steps perfectly but looks good in the pic!! Quote
WINKJ Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 @tarmac & Pete87 cheers for the comments, I will be sure to run it just with the splitter until I can get hold of some side steps me thinks!! Quote
Pete87 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 The car looks lovely I want your bonnet and head lights. Quote
WINKJ Posted June 26, 2013 Author Posted June 26, 2013 The car looks lovely I want your bonnet and head lights. thanks... but i need them!! haha. you can always get them via ZmanALEX? Quote
Daryl Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I think as long as you carry the line around the car, then it will look good. The black on silver will look ace, but do think some spats or something at the back just to finish it all off. Quote
Aliensurfer Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 I've been tempted to get a front splitter but have it colour match. Not sure how that would look with the black side steps though Quote
