Came in today..Very good quality fiberglass pieces.Not wavy and the gelcoat is ready for paint.The edges where the end pieces meet the center piece are a little rough but some 320 grit and primer will take care of it.

Ill try to get them on tomorrow.

 

Mine is painted and on the car already


But the quality is superb and fits perfectly this is definetly a must have

Ionic AE lip > *

 

i might get one of these

 

Nice, where did you get them and how much???

 

Group buy section of the forum...it was 200 for us but I don't know what the new price will be for the rest of the produced kits

 

HERE YOU GO GD: AE replica

 

Genuine AE FTW!

 

I think I want the AE mudflaps.

 

 

I say we go wait till 01max20thanni goes to sleep, then we go unbolt his mudguards and go make molds and sell the replicas to him just to make him take back his "genuine ae ftw!". Who's with me!

 

if you can get to the car, go for it! its parked in a garage at home and at work...

 

Just don't paint them red

 

LMAO, thats funny stuff right there

 

The Ionic AE lip looks really authentic! Here's a pic of the splash guards/mudflaps for the AE kit. the splash guards were not include but I was able to get a set later on. I got black because I wanted the contrast and I like this look. You can see how the splash guard wraps around the kit.

 

HAHA DaveB is gonna get a couple of calls in the coming days....

I would have to get 5.5 mudflaps up front and AE rears....

 

so basically the 2003 mudflaps wont work on the ionic lip replica?

 

I think AE splashguards are at least $250/pair and that's -IF- they have them in stock.

 

Eek. Scratch that mess. The 02-03 guards will definitely not work as they conform to the bumper and are not meant for the lip.

 

Correct. The mudflaps is part of the AE kit. However, when I purchased the car it didn't have them at the time. Not sure why some people got them and others didn't.

I'll dig out the invoice for the cost and part number. I think I paid around a $100.

 

the replica looks fine as is, no need for the mudguards. I cant wait to get mine next week. By far the cleanest looking rear piece for the 5th gen. I took off my stillen sides and rear in anticipation for the replica

Anyone know if I'll have a problem with the rear piece touching my cattman muffler?

 

No its not any lower then your stock bumper, give or take the added 1/4" for the thickness of the lip

 

Unless you want them to "flow". LOL!

 

mines in and at the shop waiting to be put on =D i'll post pics when its done...

 

I'm still kinda torn about the kit lol.
If I get it, that means I have to the take the mudguards off and crap is gonna start kicking and flying. Someone get the ae guards for molding!!!

 

How much are they charging to mount it?Are they spraying it too?

Anybody get a quote yet?

 

Install notes and good pictures tomorrow.

 

 

man I cant wait to get mine...should be here by the 16th

 

Squirrel82: Thanks for posting up pics of the finished product!! BTW those 350z wheels look great on a 5th gen.

 

Post some pictures when its on.

Thank you for making the piece.

 

looks good jose!
but i have a question bout this replica. my rear stock bumper already has some what of a lip. i'm not even sure this kit would work with my '03 since i have somewhat of a rear lip already. can anyone confirm if this kit would work on my car?

 

it will fit guaranteed...the AE piece rests on that "lip" 00-03 rear bumpers are the same

 

where is a good site to get them for cheap???

 

Look at post number 6

 

Looks great squirrel. Good work. That must of been cake for you.

 

but for the whole 4 parts front and 2 sides and rear?

 

did your rear replica come with the hardware like double sided tape and screws? Mine came with nothing....

 

Nope doesn't come with anything, I double sided mine. I believe there are bolts underneath the car that do line up with the tabs for the kit. I didn't really look close enough at it.

 

Well the stillen front looks identical, you can just get the 5.5 sideskirts which are similar and then this rear lip and its almost identical kit

 

thanks. So exactly how easy is the install (mounting and all that stuff)?
