got bored and want a new aero kit

I sketched up an Ings+1 kit for the sedan based on the Fuga kit. I also did a lil fender flaring. Let me know what you think.

(the Fuga kit from Bulletproof Automotive)


(my take on it for a G sedan)

Just noticed this was for an 06. IMO you should find a willing shop, buy a Sportec for the 03/04 and make a modified mold for the 05/06. I bet a lot of people would like to have one of those.

Or just get a Kuruma Z style from Rookie!!!

This is not nearly as open as Pnut's bumper and this design is suppose to look more like a "stock" type of bumper. I'm not into the aggressive look. What I don't like about our bumpers is how the Nismo lip pertrudes out from the front. And all the add-on lips/bumpers have extra lines. I want a smooth, one piece bumper that doesn't stick out the front low enough that it doesn't look cut off.

Gpapa, I would like to do this but have WAY too much going on right now. I am going to look into it though, for pricing & time. I might spend some time this summer buying foam to make plug for one. =0

Tim, I haven't seen a bumper I like yet, not that there are alot to choose from. Sometimes you gotta do it yourself to get it your way. Oh crap, who am I telling?!?

No I wasn't kidding. That's a nice bumper but it's not for me. Too aggressive and the opening is too large. I don't have an intercooler (yet). I don't want the extra stick out at the bottom either.

yeah, it is a little aggressive, maybe not for everyone... as for the opening, I concur - I was campaigning for the top center line to line up the top side openings... rookie wanted the OEM tow hook to be accessible and ttrank wanted his inner cooler for his little turbo toy thingy ( j/k bro )...

The Nismo doesn’t fit the bill for you?... it's less aggressive and very OEM looking

I really wish there were aftermarket body kits for the 06 sedans!!!

There's a neat M45 on sale locally - I'd buy it just to stick on 20"s and a kit!

The nismo bumper hardly sticks out at all. It's very oem looking. Have you seen one in person?
