Few things NB body
Hey im going for the NB SE look
i have a
NB 01 MODEL
SILVER IN COLOUR
my plans are to get
SE FRONT LIP
AIR DAM SPLITTER (CARBON FIBRE WRAPPED)
Lowering
ROTA GRID wheels (maybe.. mind keeps changing)
im aiming for a Silver / black / Carbon fibre look
=========
Question about SE REAR END.
1. theres a small rear lip? i think on the bumper, is that actually a lip or just an entire rear bumper?
2. Can i keep my original mudflaps on if i get this?
==========
I hate the oem side skirts, ive searched a bit but cant get anything.
I want a side skirt that i can wrap up in CARBON FIBRE AND get it to like maybe match up with the front air spltter im gonna put. and look god on a silver car

Re: Few things NB body
It is a separate lip.
PS all above body work is OEM SE, except for the TDR front splitter.

Re: Few things NB body
That looks like it'd be just the bumpers shape.
Hm.. Anyone try fitting the rear lip on a standard rear bumper?

Re: Few things NB body
You'll need to drill holes into the bootlid to mount that type of spoiler (1 in memory).
You won't be able to put on rear-mudflaps if you choose to go with the SE rear bumper (it won't match anyways).

Re: Few things NB body
I thought that when I saw where it came around. I think I'm willing to sacrifice my mud guards for that rear bumper lip...

If I could, I'd buy the Mania one right now But you're totally right. I'll just wait till I actually own one
