$2000 Aero Wing
$775 Rear Diffuser
$6700 Cyber Front Bumper

$12,510 not including paint, installation or shipping. You can sometimes find it cheaper, but not by much. Voltex stuff is hard to find and there is little pricebreak on any of it. Total overall costs will be over 15k once you factor in the labor, paint, and shipping. I would not do it unless you are tracking the car.


LOL sounds like you would be extremely pissed if you wrecked the car or hit something. man you can mod the whole engine bay with 15k but it was the cyber bumper that hit the hardest. isnt there another splitter your missing on yours??



maybe im just looking at it wrong. i think i might be confusing the front splitters for the varis ones. anything going on with the other evo. My 350z stays at the dealership on week days to help promote the dealership and sell cars its sits next to black gtr. expensive tanny 25k if needing replaceing better take it easy on that one lol. thanks for the info btw always like to further my knowledge on body kits etc cause i do so many i like to have a ideal of what actual cost for me and people that ask me

The car has been wrecked before, it's not unrealistic to think it could happen again. It's never cheap but it happens. Most full race cars have engine bays much more than 15k, mine included. I'm not missing any splitter, it's there. There are different options for the splitter and twin canards. I have the small twin canards with the Cyber splitter on mine for the time being. I will have the larger ones for next year.

If you do it that way you have to add up all the small pieces. i.e. front bumper, wet carbon splitter, twin canards, etc. This will come out to the same price as I originally stated. You can always just pay for the street bumper. That would save you money.

Do you know how stout that front bumper/diffuser is if you go off?
is it FRP or is it Urethane?

We are looking to add aero to our demo car for the next season but I would hate to add all that and have it all crack up once it went off track.

It is FRP. Unfortunately it is no stronger than the factory bumper. I don't know many front bumpers that are urethane. The extra strength would be nice though If I hit anything I'm sure the damage will be unforgiving. I plan to have an extra in the trailer next year just in case.

Ya, it's not the most budget friendly way to do things, but it's all we have right now. If Voltex wants to make a urethane version of their cyber front end I would be more than happy to throw down on it

BTW your Ti shift knobs are B/A
