Congrats on your purchase. The wheels are not my cup of tea but overall you are off to a great start.

I will, its just money, you know what Im saying. The market is really crappy right now and people really aren't buy 40" super swamper's like they used too! But when they do , or if someone is getting rid of some Tein S-type for a 2006 Sedan email me I'll buy then, coil-overs will have to wait for a little bit.

With the bumper I did notice that the 3m double side tape I used pulled away from the top , might of been to cold last night, Ill have to tweak it alittle today, but it still is a great mod.

Now that I look at the white G from the front page, it looks like I'll need them, because it do complete that look. I'll have to find some here online.

Just toying with the idea of a molded lip I think it looks sick!

I bought it from Tom on here, He'll probably read this and tell you exactly, I believe that it is a ING, but I could be wrong, there are two post of recent on here , this being one, find the other post and you'll see exactly what style.
Sorry .

The OEM lip is the best looking lip!

Good drop at a cheap price.

Look for some 350Z springs and struts to lower your ride. I bought mine for 200 bucks and love the look. It will lower in a full 1" and with just a few tools you can do the install yourself. You can find them on here or on the 35Z forums or look for them on craigslist. If you have questions pm me.

Just a couple questions about the lip. I'd like to order one.


How much clearance is lost? I have a steep angled driveway now, but just wondering if this will drop my clearance going up it by 1" or 2" or so? I have no plans to ever lower my X, but i don't want to rub it on my driveway pulling in every day.

#2, is it permanent? WIll it leave holes in the bumper that are visible if i ever remove it...perhaps if i find i do scrape my driveway?

#1: When I scrape, it's still the hard black plastic under the cover that gets scratched. I haven't had anything happen to my front lip on any bumps, dips, or slopes.

#2: Yes, it will be permanent. The holes will be clearly visible.
