    If so, then no idea where you'd get one. Doubt they protect the bumper, just make something lower for crap to get caught on. Think it's a bit of a

    The other issue is I have been told and I also believe they are illegal as they will cause "grievous bodily harm" if you hit someone.

    Not sure the exact laws etc etc but be sure to look into it to save your bumhole from mr Plod in the future.

    If youre worried about the bottom on the bar being scraped, why not look at the chin spoiler rubbery stuff you can buy from clarke rubber. It makes it look like a matt black lower lip, without being so glorified like the above mr2 lower lip. Its cheap and is double sided taped on. About to head out so i cant source you an image, but someone will know what im talking about. I think there was meant to have been a little GB for some. But its easy sourced from clarkies.

    It will stop your bar from getting damaged...as far as paint goes.

    They are called splitters, they are NOT for protecting the bumper but rather to direct and utilize air flow. You do NOT want to be smashing them rather than your bumper, and they will only reduce clearance.

    UAS sell them www.300zx.com.au

    yeah called a splitter, dont normally need the 'lil rods' on a street car which are there to help support it at speed not for it to pivot on. They're also made of metal not plastic. Driven Authority sell one for the zed, available in black or bare metal.

    cheers, Tim
